KWrap guides / Architectural wrapping in London

Architectural wrapping in London

Architectural wrapping is the use of specialist interior film to refinish doors, walls, desks, lifts, counters and furniture without replacing them. KWrap carries out architectural wrapping in London and the South East, including 3M Di-Noc films.

Where it is used

• Offices: desks, tea points, storage walls, meeting room doors and reception counters.
• Hotels: bedroom joinery, wardrobes, headboards, doors and corridor panels.
• Lifts: lift car interiors and landing doors, refreshed with metal and wood finishes.
• Retail and hospitality: shop fixtures, bar fronts and counters.
• Residential blocks: entrance halls, front doors and communal areas.

Why buildings choose film over a strip-out

A strip-out means downtime, dust, waste and long lead times on new joinery. Wrapping is done in place, area by area, so a building can stay open while the work is carried out. The existing items stay in use, which also means far less going to landfill.

3M Di-Noc and other architectural films

3M Di-Noc is a range of architectural finish films made by 3M, with hundreds of wood, metal, stone, leather and abstract designs. KWrap installs 3M Di-Noc and other architectural films, choosing the film to suit the surface, the budget and the building. Designers who have specified a Di-Noc reference can include it with the quote request.

Fire data and specifications

Many architectural films carry fire classifications when applied to specified surfaces. The classification depends on the film and the substrate, so KWrap confirms the fire data against the building's requirements before work starts.
