Architectural vinyl wraps

Architectural wraps are commercial-grade films fitted over kitchens, doors, desks and walls to give them a new finish without replacing them. Here is how they work, which films we use, fire ratings, durability and care, for homeowners, facilities managers and specifiers across Suffolk and North East Essex.

What is architectural wrapping?

Architectural wrapping is a way of giving an interior surface a completely new finish without replacing it. A thick, commercial-grade decorative film is fitted over kitchen doors, worktops, internal and fire doors, desks, wardrobes, walls and window frames.

It is not a sticker. The film has a tough base, a printed finish and a clear protective top coat, and it is made for interiors by manufacturers like 3M, LX Hausys and Cover Styl'. Surfaces are cleaned, repaired and primed first, then the film is wrapped around every edge and heat-formed so the corners hold their shape.

The result looks and feels like the real thing: woodgrain with a texture you can feel, marble, concrete, metallics and matt colours. It's quicker, cleaner and produces far less waste than stripping out and replacing, which is why hotels, offices, schools and hospitals use it as well as homeowners.

Cracked gloss doors and chipped worktop edges don't mean replacement. We check every surface at survey and tell you what needs repairing before film goes on.

Where architectural wraps can go

Typical film properties

Figures vary by film. We send the manufacturer data sheet for the exact film on your project.

Looking after your wrap

Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap or a pH-neutral cleaner. For stubborn marks, warm water usually does it.

Avoid strongly acidic or alkaline cleaners, bleach, solvents and abrasive pads. Wipe up spills promptly and use trivets for hot pans on wrapped worktops.

We leave care instructions with you when the job is finished.

Specifying a project?

We survey on site and send a written proposal with the films, fire classification and data sheets.
