Sports Stadium Interior Refurbishment
The Brief
Fusion Surfaces partnered with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club to deliver a sports stadium interior refurbishment within one of Europe’s most advanced multi-use venues.
Although the stadium opened in 2019, constant use from Premier League fixtures, NFL games, concerts, boxing and major events placed significant strain on furniture and internal finishes. As a result, 270 tables and 58 doors required refurbishment to maintain the premium standards expected throughout the venue. Rather than replacing large volumes of furniture, Tottenham Hotspur sought a fast and sustainable solution that could integrate seamlessly with their demanding event schedule.
The Solution
Following a detailed site assessment, Fusion Surfaces worked closely with the club’s facilities team to select suitable finishes from LX Hausys architectural film and Metamark’s MiA interior range.
These materials offered the durability required for high-traffic environments while maintaining visual consistency across hospitality and circulation spaces. Sample finishes were reviewed and approved to match the stadium’s established palette of dark woods, neutral tones and branded colour schemes.
By refurbishing existing assets rather than replacing them, the project reduced cost, waste and programme risk.
The Process
Working around an intensive live events calendar required careful planning. Therefore, Fusion Surfaces deployed an eight-person installation team to complete works within a tightly controlled two-day programme.
Installers wrapped 270 tables, many featuring curved edges that required detailed preparation. Surfaces were filled, sanded and levelled before film application to achieve a flawless finish. Meanwhile, the team refurbished 58 doors, including units with vision panels and electronic access systems.
All works progressed alongside stadium operations with minimal disruption. The successful delivery established an ongoing relationship, with Fusion Surfaces returning periodically to update doors, window film, desks and tables as part of the venue’s continuous improvement programme.
The Transformation
Following completion, previously worn furniture and doors presented a refreshed, high-quality appearance consistent with Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’s premium environment.
Tables regained the look of newly installed furniture, while doors received durable finishes resistant to ongoing heavy use. Importantly, the sports stadium interior refurbishment preserved the original assets while elevating overall visual standards throughout the venue.
Guests, staff and event organisers now experience interiors that reflect the world-class nature of the stadium.
Client Advantages
The refurbishment strategy delivered measurable benefits:

Conclusion

Through careful planning, specialist installation and close collaboration with the facilities team, Fusion Surfaces delivered a fast, sustainable and repeatable refurbishment solution. The ongoing partnership highlights how architectural vinyl wrapping enables major venues to continually refresh interiors while protecting operational performance.
