Top 7 Benefits of Architectural Wrapping

Architectural film is a self-adhesive film solution that is used to cover furniture and interior surfaces in order to improve and/or accentuate their appearance. It is a flexible and adaptable material that can be wrapped over tables, walls, ceilings, doors and chairs, making it a popular choice for a cost-effective and efficient way to spruce up your space. When applied well, it can completely transform the look of the item or surface.  The wide range of patterns and colours available means that you can transform a room without needing to make costly and messy renovations.

We have rounded up the top 7 benefits that make architectural wrapping a valuable option when it comes to upgrading your space.

Sustainability

In an ever-growing, environmentally-conscious world, materials must be made to create a positive, sustainable impact. Architectural wrapping is a sustainable choice because it negates the need to buy brand-new furniture and so avoids both the disposal of old furniture and transportation of new furniture, reducing your carbon footprint. Architectural wrapping companies should take into account all of the necessary measurements to reduce waste, too. Our architectural vinyl options are fire rated to B-s1, d0 which means that when it burns the “Emissions are absent or very little”.

Cost-effective

Since COVID-19, financial costs have increased to match the fluctuating economy. Architectural film is a worthwhile investment because it achieves the same look and feel as natural materials without having to install new items. 

It is also extremely durable and can withstand daily wear and tear without staining or peeling. It is applied using heat, meaning it can mould into the shape and be maintained easily, making it a long-term benefit.

Multiple design options

One of the real values of architectural wrapping is the versatility of design. You can choose designs like:

• Wood
• Marble
• Metal
• Tile
• Stone
• Leather
• Fabric

Fire-resistant

Architectural wrapping films are fire-resistant. Although a vinyl-wrapped door will not make a door meet fire safety regulation standards, it gives an added level of protection from fire, is heat resistant up to 150 degrees centigrade and is suitable for various materials, such as wood and steel.

Multi-surface options

Architectural wrapping can be used for any interior surface, including (but not limited to):

• Walls
• Ceilings
• Cabinets and cupboards
• Reception desks
• Fire doors

This means you can successfully redesign your whole office space, apartment building, or commercial space with efficiency and ease.

Easy maintenance

Architectural wrapping is easy to clean and does not become damaged in the process of normal cleaning. It is also safe for children as it does not contain any harmful chemicals, making it a practical option for nurseries and schools too. 

All of our materials can be cleaned with low-abrasion, standard household cleaners. To prolong the life of your wrap, avoid using harsh chemicals and bleaches. 

Simple application process

Architectural wrapping film can be much quicker to install than replacing furniture would be. Surfaces and furniture have vinyl film applied as a coating on top; therefore doesn’t take as long as delivering new furniture; nor would it cause any major disruption. 

When considering the process of a refurbishment, it can be easy to forget about the hassle of disposing of your old furniture, as well as the significant cost that can be involved. By wrapping your furniture, not only do you not have to worry about your door or table going to landfill, but we will take away any rubbish we produce in the process. 

How interior designers should use vinyl

The great thing about vinyl wrapping for interior design is that it can be used in various ways to enhance the aesthetic and functionality of a space. If you have a project that needs to be completed within a short period of time, vinyl wrapping is the perfect solution due to its quick and efficient application, along with various design options to meet the client’s vision. Ensure you have the appropriate vinyl that is suitable for interior use by talking to a professional before purchasing, and explore the types of textures, graphics and colours to make the place stand out.
