Which surfaces can be wrapped, and is professional installation required?

Discover which surfaces can be vinyl wrapped for commercial interiors, including walls, doors and furniture, and learn why expert installation from Fusion Surfaces ensures the best results.

 

If you’re planning a commercial refurbishment, you’ll probably think that replacing furniture, doors or entire fittings is the only way to achieve a fresh, updated look. However, what if the solution did not involve removing anything at all? What if you could completely transform your space by working with the surfaces you already have?

At Fusion Surfaces, we help businesses do exactly that. Using high-performance architectural vinyl, we wrap everything from walls to worktops. The process is quick, clean and avoids the waste that comes with full replacement. Whether you are updating a reception area or revamping a set of office desks, vinyl wrapping provides flexibility, speed and a high-quality finish. But how far can it go, and is it something that can be done without expert help?

 

What can be wrapped?

Vinyl wrapping is far more adaptable than many people realise. It can be used across a wide variety of commercial settings and offers an efficient and attractive alternative to traditional refurbishment.

Walls and feature areas

Walls, particularly in hospitality and office settings, are a popular starting point. Wrapping allows you to apply textures, patterns or finishes that replicate natural materials such as wood, marble or stone, without the disruption of painting or building work.

Furniture & fixtures

Items such as desks, wardrobes, kitchen units, lockers, vanity units and cupboards can all be wrapped. In environments like gyms or student accommodation, where furniture can look tired before it becomes unusable, wrapping offers an immediate and sustainable refresh.

Doors

Doors are one of the most frequently used surfaces in any building and tend to show signs of wear quickly. Wrapping gives them a clean, professional finish that is durable and easy to maintain.

Reception desks and worktops

Reception areas are where first impressions are made. Wrapping a reception desk or counter surface can significantly improve the appearance of your space, in line with your brand or new design scheme, with little interruption to daily operations.

We have even wrapped bathroom sinks, as demonstrated in our recent work with Premier Inn….

Case Study: Premier Inn, Middlesborough

In Middlesbrough, Premier Inn wanted to update their hotel bathrooms. The sinks, inherited from a previous owner, were off-brand and no longer suited the refreshed rooms. Replacing them would have increased both cost and disruption.

Fusion proposed wrapping instead. After working with the client to select a marble-effect vinyl from the LX Hausys range, we completed the work in phases. Each sink was wrapped in approximately one hour, including the removal and reapplication of silicone.

The result was a far more modern and stylish bathroom. Rooms remained in use throughout the process, with only minimal downtime. The cost savings were considerable, and the feedback from the hotel manager was very positive. She commented that the wrap had “transformed the whole bathroom.”

Is professional installation necessary?

While wrapping may appear straightforward, achieving a high-quality and long-lasting finish requires expertise. Every stage, from preparing the surface to applying the film, must be carried out with care and precision.

At Fusion, we use architectural-grade vinyls that are made to last for several years. Our installers are experienced in applying wraps to a wide range of surfaces, including curved, textured and high-contact areas. A poor installation can result in peeling, bubbling or damage to the original surface, so choosing a skilled team makes a significant difference. We have that team!

If you are planning a refurbishment and want to reduce cost, disruption and waste, Fusion Surfaces can help you get the most out of your existing interiors, with minimal downtime and maximum impact. Contact us here for more information.

Rosie Christie

Co-Founder

Older than the rest of the team, but not necessarily wiser as she’d like to think. There’s not an activity under the sun that she’s not been willing to have a go at, resulting in a mediocre ukulele player, part-time blogger, one-time skydiver and an unfinished sitcom script. There’s no room for shades of grey in this half of the partnership; everything comes down to looking after people who are important.

Organising tradesmen is not a task for the fainthearted. But recruiting the right tradesmen, ones who align with our values and are highly skilled at what they do makes for a much more harmonious project management process. Rosie’s role begins with a meeting to discuss your requirements, providing you with a quotation and carries through to the on-site management of your project.

Jade Mitchell

Co-Founder

She’s the only Southerner on the team, but we try not to hold it against her too much. If anything, we’ve enjoyed introducing Jade to a vast number of pie shops now she’s a Northern resident. Standing at a phenomenal 5’2”, she is living proof that big things come in small packages; a mix of infectious enthusiasm, laughter, loyalty, authority and uncanny Theresa May impressions.

Communicating with our clients is Jade’s forte. Being highly organised and placing customer satisfaction at the forefront of everything she does means that from enquiry to completion, your queries will be dealt with efficiently. For an in depth knowledge of the material specification of our interior film, Jade is your woman. She will put your mind at rest that not only do we install this product, but we make sure that is the most suitable for your needs.
