Materials

Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.

Dimensions

Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.

Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Houston's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.

Museum-quality cotton paper

Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.

Solid wood framing or glossy metal

Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

West Houston Airport Runway Diagram Print

West Houston (IWS) has one runway, 15/33, and the print gives it the whole sheet: a single dark stripe running corner to corner, from the upper left down to the lower right. The runway is 3,953 feet long and 75 feet wide, asphalt. Its two designators, 15 at the top end and 33 at the bottom, are set into the stripe itself and read sideways, the way they do on a chart.

Around that stripe the drawing stays quiet and grey. Taxiways loop off both sides, and blocks of hangars gather in rows to the left of the runway and again along the right, so the black line has something to cut through instead of floating. One strong diagonal against a lot of open field is an easy shape to hang, and it holds its own at a distance because there is only one thing to look at.

The lower corner carries the identifier IWS, the city and state line for Houston, Texas, the coordinates, and the field elevation of 111 feet. Choose the colorway you want and the format that suits the wall, from a fine art print to framed to glossy metal, or take the digital file.

Houston (IWS) print, common questions

How many runways does West Houston have?

One: runway 15/33. That single strip is what the diagram draws, as one diagonal line across the sheet.

How long is the runway at IWS?

Runway 15/33 is 3,953 feet long and 75 feet wide. The surface is asphalt.

What is the field elevation, and where is the airport?

The field elevation is 111 feet. The airport sits at 29.8182 degrees north, 95.6726 degrees west, in Houston, Texas, and both the elevation and the coordinates are printed in the lower corner of the artwork.

What does IWS stand for?

IWS is the identifier assigned to West Houston, and it is the code set in large type on the print. The four letter ICAO form is KIWS, but the artwork uses the shorter one.

How closely does the artwork follow the published layout?

The geometry comes from published runway data: one runway, 15/33, at 3,953 by 75 feet, held in its published orientation with the taxiway and hangar shapes around it. It is a diagram rather than a survey, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings and lighting are two things you will not find on it.

Does this work as a gift?

It reads well for anyone with a connection to this field, since the single diagonal of 15/33 is recognisable from across a room. Each physical piece is produced once you order it, in the format you pick: fine art print, framed fine art print, or glossy metal. The digital download is a file instead.
