Door and Fire Door Wrapping
Internal doors take more daily wear than almost any other surface. Architectural film transforms tired, chipped and dated doors in place — no removal, no rehanging, no redecorating around new frames. Fire-rated films available for fire doors, with full compliance documentation as standard.
Why wrap doors instead of replacing them
Replacing a tired or dated door means removing it, disposing of it, ordering a replacement, fitting it and redecorating the reveal around the new frame. For a single door that is a manageable job. For a building with 50, 100 or 200 doors, that process multiplied across every door becomes an expensive, slow programme that generates a genuine amount of waste.
Wrapping keeps the door exactly where it is. Architectural film bonds directly to the existing door leaf, so only the surface changes — the core, the frame and the ironmongery all stay in place. Each door takes minutes rather than hours, and there is no plastering, no painting and no drying time to wait around for.
The practical difference on a large building is enormous. The doors stay hung, the frames stay untouched, and the corridor stays accessible throughout the programme. Facilities teams can keep the building fully operational while the work happens around them, floor by floor or wing by wing.
The key differentiator
Fire doors cannot simply be replaced with standard doors when they need refreshing — a certified fire door replacement is a significant cost, and the wrong specification is a genuine compliance risk. Wrapping a fire door with fire-rated architectural film refreshes the surface without affecting the door's fire rating, provided the door leaf itself is not structurally altered.
This is essential for schools, NHS facilities, offices and any building where fire door compliance is audited. Velfi provides full documentation confirming the film specification and its fire classification for every fire door wrapped, so the paperwork is ready before an inspection ever happens.
Fire-classified films are used on every fire door, and the door leaf is never structurally altered, so the existing certification stands.
Written confirmation of the film specification and fire classification is provided for every fire door wrapped, ready for your compliance file.
RAMS and health and safety documentation are provided as standard for every commercial door programme — the same paperwork expected on NHS and corporate sites.
What can be wrapped
The most commonly wrapped surface in any office programme — a consistent finish across every floor.
Wrapped with fire-rated film, with documentation confirming the classification for every door.
Heavy-traffic doors that show wear first — refreshed without disrupting the corridor.
Store rooms, comms cupboards and utility doors brought up to the same standard as the rest of the building.
Cubicle and washroom entrance doors wrapped in durable, easy-clean finishes.
Frames and architraves wrapped alongside the door leaf for a fully consistent finish.
Ideal for
Door and fire door wrapping is most valuable wherever a building has a large number of doors that all need to reach the same standard at once — and wherever fire door compliance is checked regularly.
Every floor brought to the same standard without shutting a single corridor.
Classroom and corridor doors refreshed during term breaks, fire doors included.
Fire door compliance documentation ready for the next audit.
Bedroom and corridor doors refreshed room by room without displacing guests.
High-wear doors across large blocks brought back to a consistent standard between tenancies.
Back-of-house and customer-facing doors refreshed with zero trading downtime.
Common questions
No, provided fire-rated film is used and the door leaf is not structurally altered. Velfi uses fire-classified films and provides documentation confirming the specification for every fire door wrapped.
Typically 8 to 15 standard doors per day depending on condition and access. Programmes of 100 or more doors are scheduled in phases to minimise disruption to the building.
Minor surface damage such as chips, scratches and dents can usually be filled and wrapped over. Structurally damaged doors should be replaced, and that assessment happens before quoting.
Over 1,000 finishes are available, including solid colours in matt, satin and gloss, and wood grains from light oak to dark walnut. Solid matt colours and contemporary wood effects are the most popular for commercial doors.
Yes. Full RAMS and health and safety documentation are provided as standard for all commercial door and fire door programmes.
