What are architectural films?
There was a time when a commercial interiors refurbishment was a project that required a long period of careful planning, not least because of the disruption caused by the throwing out and replacement of desks, chairs, doors, wardrobes, lockers – you name it.
That was until the arrival of architectural film, which have been nothing less than a game-changer in terms of looks and logistics. These innovative self-adhesive vinyl wraps are designed to cover a wide range of surfaces, transforming interiors with a fresh new look. With an extensive selection of finishes that mimic wood, marble, stone, metal and fabric, architectural films offer a cost-effective and stylish alternative to traditional renovation methods.
The popularity of architectural films lies in their ability to modernise interiors quickly, with minimal disruption. In short, they provide a hassle-free solution that delivers impressive results in record time. See how it’s done by visiting us here: Fusion Surfaces.
The benefits of architectural films in commercial refurbishment
One of the biggest advantages of architectural films is their ability to revitalise existing surfaces without the need for major work. Here’s why they’re becoming the go-to choice for commercial interiors:
· Cost-effective: Architectural films offer the look of premium materials without a huge price tag.
· Fast installation: Unlike traditional refurbishments that can take weeks or months, architectural films can be installed in a matter of days.
· Durable and long-lasting: High-quality architectural films, such as those used by Fusion Surfaces, have an adhesive lifespan of 7-10 years and often last much longer.
· Eco-friendly: Wrapping existing surfaces instead of replacing them reduces waste and supports sustainability efforts by preventing unnecessary landfill.
· Low maintenance: Vinyl wrap is easy to clean and resistant to scratches, moisture and stains, making it ideal for high-traffic commercial environments.
· Versatile design options: With an extensive range of textures, patterns and colours available, businesses can achieve a custom look that reflects their brand identity.
Architectural films in action: StayCity Aparthotels
A great example of architectural films in commercial refurbishment is our recent project at StayCity Aparthotels in Manchester. Fusion Surfaces was tasked with upgrading 276 doors across seven floors, including bedroom doors, storage doors and vision panel corridor doors. The challenge was to complete the refurbishment within a tight schedule while ensuring minimal disruption to guests and ongoing renovations.
By using high-quality architectural films, we transformed the doors into stylish, modern features that complemented StayCity’s existing décor. Thanks to the speed of installation, one expert installer was able to complete an entire floor in just two days. The results speak for themselves – a refreshed, contemporary look achieved with efficiency and precision.
