Do we cover where you are?

Direct-to-wall printing means putting equipment and an operator in the room, so unlike a product that ships, it has a geography. This page answers the question directly. Enter a postal code and you will get one of three honest answers: yes and here is the page for your area, probably and let us confirm, or you are outside what we have mapped and here is what to do about it. It will never tell you no on the basis of a code it does not recognise.

Enter a Canadian postal code

The first three characters are enough — there is no reason to ask for a full address to answer a coverage question.

What this means in practice

When to reach for this

  • You are outside the obvious core of the Greater Toronto Area
  • You want to know before spending time on a detailed enquiry
  • You are a designer or contractor working across several sites
  • You want the page that covers your specific city
  • You are not sure whether your area counts as the GTA

Verified postal data, not guesswork

Every mapped code was checked against Canada Post's published listing and the municipal FSA index. A wrong coverage answer is the one thing a visitor checks immediately.

It never says no on incomplete data

An Ontario code we do not recognise returns 'probably, let us confirm'. You cannot prove a negative from an incomplete map, so it does not pretend to.

It routes you to your own page

A match takes you to the page for your city, where the local building stock, approvals and access constraints are already covered.

It saves the phone call

'Do you come out this far' is the most common first question and the least useful one. Answer it in three seconds and get to the actual project.

How coverage is worked out

What is checked
The first three characters of a Canadian postal code — the Forward Sortation Area, or FSA. That is enough to identify the municipality without asking for your full address.
Mapped areas
Brampton, Mississauga, Toronto, Vaughan, Oakville and Hamilton, including Stoney Creek, Dundas, Ancaster, Woodbridge, Maple and Concord.
Toronto
Toronto is the only city in Canada with an exclusive first letter. Any code beginning with M is Toronto, with two documented facility exceptions.
Unmapped Ontario codes
Returned as 'probably' rather than 'no'. We serve the Greater Toronto Area broadly, and the map is deliberately incomplete rather than padded with guesses.
Deliberately unmapped
L3T, covering Thornhill, straddles Vaughan and Markham. Routing everyone there to the Vaughan page would be wrong for half of them, so it is left to a conversation.
Other provinces
Outside the mapped area. Getting equipment and an operator to another province is a different conversation, not an automatic no — but it is one to have directly.

Why on-site printing has a geography

A printed wall is not a product that arrives in a box. The image goes onto the prepared surface in the room itself, which means equipment, an operator and a working window all have to reach your building. That is the whole reason direct-to-wall printing produces a seamless result — and it is also why, unlike ordering wallpaper, there is a practical radius.

This is worth being straightforward about because the alternative is wasting your time. A supplier who takes a detailed enquiry from four hours away and then discovers the travel makes it unworkable has cost you a week. Three seconds and a postal code is a better opening move for everyone.

Being outside the mapped area is not automatically a no. Larger projects justify travel that smaller ones do not, and a run of several walls in one building is a different proposition from a single feature wall. The honest answer is that it depends on scope, which is a conversation rather than a form field.

How the map is built, and where it stops

Coverage is worked out from the Forward Sortation Area — the first three characters of a Canadian postal code, which identify the delivery area. Every code in the map was verified against Canada Post's published FSA listing and the municipal index rather than written from memory. That distinction matters: a wrong coverage answer is the single fact a visitor checks against their own address within seconds, and getting it wrong costs more credibility than having no tool at all.

Where the sources did not confirm something, it is left out rather than guessed at. A handful of Mississauga codes and the Thornhill area are deliberately unmapped — Thornhill in particular straddles Vaughan and Markham, and since Markham is not currently a mapped area, sending every Thornhill visitor to the Vaughan page would be wrong for around half of them.

The consequence is that the map is incomplete by design, and the tool behaves accordingly. An Ontario code it does not recognise comes back as probably rather than no, because an incomplete map cannot prove a negative. Only a code from another province is reported as outside the mapped area, and even then the message is to ask rather than to give up.

If you are a designer or contractor

Multi-site work behaves differently from a single wall, and it is worth saying so at the enquiry rather than checking each address individually. A design practice specifying the same treatment across several locations, or a contractor coordinating a rollout, is a different scheduling problem — and frequently a more workable one, because several walls in one visit justify travel that one wall would not.

The same applies to a single building with multiple walls. A lobby, a corridor and an amenity room in one property is one mobilisation rather than three, which changes what is practical.

If your sites span the mapped area and beyond, send the full list. It is much easier to give a useful answer about the whole programme than to respond to six separate enquiries that each look marginal in isolation.

FAQs

Questions worth asking first

My postal code came back as 'probably'. What does that actually mean?

It means your code is in Ontario but not one of the specific areas mapped so far. The map is deliberately incomplete rather than padded with codes we could not verify, so an unrecognised Ontario code gets an honest 'let us confirm' instead of a no we cannot justify. In practice most of the Greater Toronto Area is workable.

I am outside Ontario. Is that a definite no?

Not automatically, but it is a real conversation rather than a form answer. Direct-to-wall printing means transporting equipment and an operator, so distance genuinely matters. Larger projects and multi-wall programmes justify travel that a single feature wall does not, so tell us the scope rather than assuming.

Why do you only ask for the first part of the postal code?

Because that is all that is needed. The first three characters identify the delivery area, which is enough to work out the municipality. There is no reason to ask for a full address to answer a coverage question, so the tool does not.

Thornhill did not match. Is that a mistake?

No, it is deliberate. The Thornhill FSA straddles Vaughan and Markham, and Markham is not currently one of the mapped areas. Routing every Thornhill visitor to the Vaughan page would be wrong for roughly half of them, so it returns 'probably' and invites a conversation instead of guessing.

Do you charge more further out?

There is no published pricing on this site at all, including travel, so the honest answer is that it is part of the quote rather than a separate published figure. What is worth knowing is that scope affects it — several walls in one visit spread any travel across the whole job in a way a single wall does not.

I have sites in several cities. How should I ask?

Send the full list in one enquiry rather than checking each address separately. A programme across multiple locations is a different scheduling problem from a single wall, and often a more workable one. Six separate enquiries each look marginal in isolation; one list of six sites usually does not.

Whether the checker matched your area or not, the useful next step is the same: send the wall photographs, rough measurements and what the space is used for. Coverage questions are quickest to settle alongside a real project.
