FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is architectural vinyl wrapping?
Architectural vinyl wrapping is a cost effective way to transform existing surfaces such as kitchen cabinets, doors, walls, furniture, lifts, reception areas, and commercial interiors without replacing them. Premium architectural films are professionally applied to create a fresh, modern appearance in a wide range of colours, textures, and finishes.
How long does vinyl wrapping last?
When professionally installed and properly maintained, architectural vinyl wraps can last between 10 and 15 years or more. Durability depends on the surface being wrapped, usage levels, and environmental conditions.
Is vinyl wrapping cheaper than replacing cabinets or furniture?
Yes. Vinyl wrapping is significantly more affordable than replacing kitchens, wardrobes, furniture, doors, or commercial fixtures. It allows you to achieve a high end finish while avoiding the costs and disruption associated with replacement.
What surfaces can be wrapped?
We can wrap a wide variety of surfaces, including kitchen cabinets and doors, wardrobes, interior doors, wall panels, reception desks, retail fixtures, office furniture, lift interiors, commercial interiors, tables, and furniture.
If you're unsure whether a surface can be wrapped, contact us for advice.
Can you turn flat cabinet doors into shaker style doors?
Yes. We specialise in transforming flat cabinet doors into shaker style designs before wrapping them. This gives your kitchen or furniture a completely new look without the expense of replacing existing units.
Is vinyl wrapping durable?
Absolutely. We use premium architectural films designed for both residential and commercial environments. These films are durable, scratch resistant, moisture resistant, and easy to maintain.
Will the vinyl damage my existing furniture or cabinets?
No. Architectural vinyl is designed to be applied safely to suitable surfaces. When installed and removed correctly, it typically does not damage the original substrate.
How do I clean wrapped surfaces?
Wrapped surfaces are easy to maintain. Simply clean them using a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap or detergent.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, and scouring pads to preserve the finish.
Can vinyl wraps be used in kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes. Architectural vinyl films are ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and other areas exposed to moisture and everyday wear. They provide a durable and attractive finish while remaining easy to clean.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. We offer free, no obligation quotations. Simply send us photos and approximate measurements of your project, and we'll provide an estimate based on your requirements.
Do I need to remove my existing cabinets or furniture?
No. In most cases, existing furniture, doors, cabinets, and fixtures remain in place. This makes vinyl wrapping faster, cleaner, and far less disruptive than a full renovation.
