Most Cambridge kitchen wrapping projects cost £1,400 to £2,200, with larger kitchens or jobs that include worktops running £2,200 to £3,000. That's typically 60 to 70% less than a full kitchen replacement, which usually costs £10,000 to £18,000. Send photos and rough measurements for a fixed quote within 24 hours. No site visit needed at this stage.
Window film typically costs £8 to £18 per square metre. A standard door panel costs from £45. A full bathroom window costs £60 to £120. An office partition of 3 square metres costs £100 to £200. All quotes are fixed. Send measurements or photos for a precise price within 24 hours.
Every Velfi quote is fixed before work starts. The price on the quote is what you pay. No provisional sums, no extras added on completion and no surprises on the invoice. If something comes up during the job that would change the cost, it's discussed before proceeding. Never presented as a bill at the end.
Durability and Longevity
With professional installation, architectural film lasts 10 years or more. Every Velfi installation carries a 10-year warranty. The films used carry manufacturer warranties of 10 to 12 years depending on the brand. The 10-year warranty is confirmed in writing before the job is signed off, not mentioned verbally and never followed up.
Peeling is almost always a preparation and installation failure, not a film failure. Professional installation starts with thorough surface cleaning and priming. Every edge is finished 10mm onto the rear of the surface rather than trimmed flush, which is what causes lifting. The film itself is commercial-grade, not the self-adhesive vinyl sold in DIY shops. All three of those things together are what make the difference between a wrap that lasts 10 years and one that fails in 10 months.
Yes. Commercial-grade architectural film is heat-resistant and rated for kitchen environments including adjacent to ovens and hobs. It handles the demands of a working kitchen without warping, bubbling or discolouring. The specific heat rating varies by film type and is taken into account when the right product is specified for your project.
Yes. Architectural film cleans with standard kitchen, bathroom and commercial cleaning products. Avoid abrasive scourers on high-gloss finishes, but standard spray cleaners and cloths are fine on every film type. Aftercare guidance is provided with every installation so you know exactly how to look after it.
The Process
No. A few clear photos and rough measurements are all that's needed for most projects. A detailed fixed quote comes back within 24 hours. For particularly complex commercial projects, a site visit may be suggested before finalising the specification, but most residential and smaller commercial projects are quoted from photos.
Most Cambridge kitchen wrapping projects take 1 to 3 days. The exact time depends on the size of the kitchen and how many surfaces are being wrapped. Your kitchen stays usable at the end of every working day. No demolition, no skips, no builders in the house for weeks.
Every surface is cleaned and primed before any film goes on. The film is applied from the first panel to the last with each edge finished properly. At the end there's a walkthrough together to check everything is right. Aftercare guidance is given and the 10-year warranty is confirmed in writing before anyone leaves.
Yes, always. Physical samples are sent to your door before any work is confirmed and before any deposit is taken. You get to see and handle the exact finish in your own home first. No obligation to proceed if the sample isn't right. This step is never skipped.
The Films
All three are commercial-grade architectural films used in professional installations worldwide. 3M DI-NOC is manufactured in Japan and is the premium commercial standard, used in NHS hospitals, corporate headquarters and hotel lobbies. LX Hausys BENIF is a premium South Korean product with exceptional tactile texture replication. Its wood and stone effects feel convincing to the touch, not just visually. Cover Styl' is a Luxembourg-based brand particularly strong in solid colours, metallic effects and concrete finishes. The right product for your project depends on the application, environment and budget.
Over 1,000 finishes across the brands Velfi uses. Wood effects, stone and marble, concrete, metallic, solid colours and fabric effects. Physical samples of any finish can be requested before work is confirmed. Full brochures for each brand are available on the brochures page.
Yes. Solid colour films are available across the full RAL palette. If you have a specific colour reference, a paint code or a material you need to match exactly, send the RAL number and it can usually be specified precisely. Physical samples are provided for colour-critical projects before anything is confirmed.
Removal and Reversibility
Yes. Architectural film is fully removable without damaging the surface underneath, as long as that surface was in sound condition when the film was applied. This makes wrapping a practical choice for rental properties, tenanted commercial spaces and anyone who wants flexibility to change the look in the future.
Yes. The existing film is removed and new film applied. This is common in commercial environments when brand colour schemes change and in residential spaces where owners want a refresh after several years. The surface underneath is unaffected by the removal process when it's done correctly.
Kitchen Wrapping
A typical Cambridge kitchen wrap costs £1,400 to £2,200 for cabinet doors, drawer fronts and end panels. Larger kitchens or jobs that include worktops and splashbacks run £2,200 to £3,000. That's 60 to 70% less than a full kitchen replacement, which usually costs £10,000 to £18,000 for the same visual result. Every quote is fixed and confirmed before work starts.
Most Cambridge kitchen wrapping projects take 1 to 3 days from start to finish, depending on the number of doors and whether worktops are included. The kitchen stays usable at the end of every working day, so there's no week living without a functioning kitchen.
Yes. Worktop-rated film is applied over existing worktops and splashbacks in the same visit as the cabinet doors, in marble, stone, concrete or wood-effect finishes. Everyday precautions still apply afterwards, such as using a chopping board and a trivet, exactly as with a laminate worktop.
Yes. The architectural film used in kitchens is heat-resistant and rated for use adjacent to ovens and hobs without warping, bubbling or discolouring. The exact heat rating varies by product, which is factored in when specifying the right film for the areas closest to appliances.
For most modern flat and shaker doors, wrapping wins on finish choice, durability and warranty, and there's no wet paint, fumes or drying time. A respray can be the better option for doors with ornate, deep-routed mouldings that film can't follow cleanly. An honest survey before any deposit is taken will confirm which route suits a specific kitchen.
No full strip-out is needed. Cupboards and drawers stay in place and film is applied directly to the existing structure, so there's no need to empty the kitchen the way a full replacement would require. Some clearing of worktop surfaces and cupboard fronts is helpful on the day so installers have clean access.
An individually damaged door can have its film replaced on its own rather than reworking the whole kitchen. This is one of the practical advantages over a painted or laminate finish, where matching a touch-up to the rest of the kitchen is far harder.
Yes, with standard kitchen cleaning products and a cloth. Abrasive scourers should be avoided on high-gloss finishes since they can dull the surface over time, but everyday spray cleaners are fine on every finish used.
Kitchens are typically wrapped in 3M DI-NOC, LX Hausys BENIF or Cover Styl', chosen by finish and budget. LX Hausys BENIF is often specified for its tactile wood and stone texture, Cover Styl' for bold solid colours, and 3M DI-NOC where the widest choice of finish is needed. Metamark MiA is a more affordable UK-made option for budget-conscious kitchens.
Yes, always. A physical sample of the exact finish is posted out before any deposit is taken, so the colour and texture can be checked against the kitchen in daylight and evening light before anything is confirmed.
Bathroom Wrapping
Yes. The films used on vanity units, bath panels and tiles are rated for wet environments and are fully waterproof on the surfaces they're applied to, including areas that get regular splashing. Standing water pooling on a horizontal surface for extended periods should still be wiped away, in the same way it would be on any bathroom surface.
Most Cambridge bathroom wrapping projects cost £800 to £1,800 for vanity units, bath panels and tiles. A full bathroom replacement for comparison typically runs £5,000 to £15,000, so wrapping delivers a similar visual transformation for a fraction of the cost and disruption.
Most bathroom wrapping projects take 1 to 3 days, against 5 to 10 days for a full bathroom refit. The bathroom is back in use quickly rather than being out of action for over a week.
Vanity units, bath panels and tiled surfaces outside the direct shower spray zone are well suited to wrapping. Areas that sit under constant, direct water pressure, such as inside a shower cubicle, are not recommended, since sustained water exposure at the seams can affect adhesion over time even with proper edge sealing.
Existing grout lines and any significant surface texture can show through a wrapped tile surface, which is why a survey or photos are reviewed before quoting so any texture that would affect the finished look is flagged honestly upfront.
Yes, provided the tiles are sound, flat and not loose or cracked. Surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and primed before film is applied, and any tiles in poor condition are identified during the quoting stage so expectations are set correctly before work begins.
Yes. Bath panels, vanity units and surrounding tiled surfaces are wrapped in place. There's no need to remove the bath, shower enclosure or sanitaryware, which is part of why the job is completed in days rather than weeks.
The bathroom is generally out of full use only while installers are actively working on it that day, and returns to normal use once each session finishes. For a household with only one bathroom, this is worth flagging when booking so timing can be planned around it.
Marble and stone effects are the most requested finish for vanity units and tiles, with warm wood tones also popular for a softer look. Solid colour films work well for a more contemporary bath panel finish.
No special products are needed. Standard bathroom cleaning products and a cloth keep it looking as it did on day one. Aftercare guidance covering exactly what to use is provided with every installation.
Furniture Wrapping
Wardrobes, chests of drawers, desks, cabinets, TV units, dining tables and fitted furniture can all be wrapped. It works best on smooth, flat or gently curved surfaces such as wood, laminate and painted MDF.
Individual pieces typically cost £200 to £800 depending on size and complexity, for example a wardrobe or a desk. Multiple pieces done in the same visit usually cost less per item than booking them separately.
No. Furniture is wrapped in place wherever practical, without being taken away to a workshop. For pieces that are easier to work on away from walls, they may be moved to the centre of a room, but they stay in the house throughout.
Yes, for furniture where the underlying structure is sound and only the surface looks tired. Wrapping changes cabinet doors, drawer fronts and side panels completely, but it doesn't repair structural damage such as broken hinges or water-damaged carcasses, which would need addressing separately first.
A single piece such as a wardrobe or desk typically takes a few hours to a day. Multiple pieces in one visit are usually completed within 1 to 3 days, in line with other Velfi projects of similar scope.
Not when installed professionally. Every edge is finished onto the rear of the surface rather than trimmed flush, which is the detail that prevents lifting. Peeling on cheaper DIY vinyl jobs is almost always caused by poor edge finishing and preparation rather than a failure of the film itself.
In most cases yes, existing handles and hinges are removed before wrapping and refitted afterwards. If hardware needs replacing for a different look, new handles can usually be fitted at the same time.
Yes. Commercial-grade architectural film is scratch-resistant and designed for daily handling, making it a practical choice for desks, tabletops and other frequently touched surfaces, not just decorative pieces.
Wood-effect finishes are the most requested for wardrobes and cabinets, since the tactile texture reads as genuinely convincing timber. Solid matte colours are popular for a more contemporary desk or media unit.
Yes. The film can be removed without damaging the surface underneath, provided that surface was in good condition when it was applied. This makes wrapping practical for anyone who wants the flexibility to change the finish or revert it later.
Living Space Wrapping
Fireplace surrounds, feature walls, alcove units, staircases, internal doors and skirting can all be wrapped. It's a common way to update a dated fireplace or add a feature wall without any wet trades or redecorating.
Most living space projects cost £300 to £900 depending on the area covered, for example a fireplace surround compared with a full staircase or feature wall. A fixed quote is provided from photos and measurements before anything is booked.
Wrapping works best on flat or gently textured surfaces. Heavily uneven natural stone or deeply recessed brick can be too textured for film to follow cleanly, so this is checked from photos before quoting. Painted or rendered fireplace surrounds and MDF surrounds wrap very well.
No demolition, no wet trades and no dust sheets through the rest of the house. Surfaces are cleaned, primed and wrapped in place, so the rest of the room stays usable while the work is carried out.
Staircases vary more than other living space projects depending on the number of spindles, risers and handrail runs involved, so timing is confirmed after reviewing photos, but most residential staircases are completed within a few days.
Yes. Doors can be wrapped on one or both faces depending on whether both rooms need the new finish, and the same film can be run onto door frames and architraves for a consistent look.
Stone and concrete effects are popular for a contemporary feature wall, while wood tones work well behind a media unit or as a warmer alternative. Solid colours are also used where the goal is a bold block of colour rather than a textured material look.
Existing woodwork can be wrapped in a matching or complementary finish where useful, or left as is if it already suits the space. This is discussed during quoting so the finished result is planned as one consistent scheme rather than being an afterthought.
Yes. The same commercial-grade film used elsewhere in the home is scratch-resistant and rated for high-traffic areas, which is exactly the kind of wear a hallway or staircase sees daily.
Yes. Combining a fireplace, feature wall or staircase with other projects such as a kitchen or furniture wrap in the same visit is common and can reduce the overall cost compared with booking them separately.
Heat Pump Wrapping
Heat pump units are usually a plain grey or white plastic casing that stands out against brickwork, render or fencing. RAL-matched architectural film lets the unit blend into its surroundings instead of standing out as an obvious appliance, without affecting how it runs.
The exterior-grade film used is UV-stable and rated for outdoor use, with an expected lifespan of 7 to 10 years depending on aspect, sun exposure and local climate. Every installation is still backed by a 10-year warranty.
No. The film is applied to the outer housing only and doesn't affect any mechanical or electrical components inside the unit. It's also fully removable without leaving residue, so it doesn't compromise the heat pump's own warranty.
Yes. Any RAL colour can be specified, so the casing can be matched to brickwork, render, cladding or a fence line. Send the RAL reference or a photo of the surface it needs to match and it can usually be specified precisely.
No. The film is a thin surface layer applied to the casing and doesn't cover or restrict the intake and outlet grilles, so airflow and performance are unaffected.
Most domestic heat pump units are wrapped within a day, since it's a single, self-contained casing rather than a multi-room project.
Wrapping is a cosmetic surface change to a unit that's already installed, not a new installation, so it doesn't itself trigger planning permission. Whether the heat pump installation originally needed permission depends on factors like unit size, location and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area, which is worth checking with the local planning authority if unsure.
Yes. Wrapping is a common way to refresh a heat pump casing that's faded or discoloured after a few years outside, giving it a like-new appearance without replacing the unit.
Yes. The film is rated for outdoor UK conditions, including rain, frost and UV exposure across the seasons, as part of its 7 to 10 year expected lifespan.
Yes. The film can be removed from the casing without damaging it, so the unit can be returned to its original appearance or rewrapped in a different colour if a future owner prefers something else.
Landlords and Letting Agents
Most refresh projects, such as a kitchen or bathroom wrap, are completed in 1 to 3 days, which fits comfortably inside a typical void period. Turnaround can often be scheduled tightly around a tenancy end date to minimise lost rent.
Most landlord and letting agent refresh projects cost £800 to £2,500 depending on scope, for example a kitchen wrap compared with a kitchen and bathroom together. A fixed quote is provided from photos before booking.
Yes. The same 10-year warranty applies to rental properties as any other project. Commercial-grade film is scratch-resistant and designed for daily wear, which suits the higher turnover of use a rental property sees.
Neutral tones that suit a broad range of tenants and photograph well for listing photos are the most requested choice, such as light woods, whites, greys and soft solid colours. Bold or unusual finishes are less common for lettings but available if preferred.
Yes. Landlords and letting agents managing several properties often schedule refreshes across a portfolio, either together or spread across void periods as tenancies turn over. Consistent finishes across a portfolio can also be agreed once and reused for future refreshes.
A refreshed kitchen or bathroom is one of the most visible things prospective tenants notice in listing photos and viewings, and updating the most dated surfaces without a full renovation is a common way to make a property more competitive without a lengthy void period.
No, there's no travel surcharge across the standard Cambridge and Cambridgeshire coverage area. This is worth confirming for portfolios with properties spread across several towns.
For most kitchen, bathroom or furniture wraps, the property needs to be empty for access, since installers need clear working space. Scheduling around a tenancy end date rather than during an active tenancy is the normal approach.
A fixed quote confirmed in writing, along with the 10-year warranty confirmation on completion. For managing agents who need it for their own compliance records, additional documentation can be requested.
Minor surface damage such as scuffs or marks is addressed as part of the preparation and priming stage before film is applied. More significant damage, such as water damage to a carcass, would need to be repaired separately before wrapping could proceed.
Window Film
Frosted and privacy films block sightlines while still letting light through, ranging from a light diffusion to a fully opaque finish. Solar control film is designed primarily to reduce heat and glare from direct sun rather than for privacy, though some films combine both properties in one product.
Window film typically costs £8 to £18 per square metre. A standard door panel costs from £45, a full bathroom window costs £60 to £120, and an office partition of around 3 square metres costs £100 to £200. All quotes are fixed.
Most window film installations take under an hour per window. There's no drying time, no fumes and the room is back in use immediately after fitting.
It depends on the film chosen. Fully frosted or fully patterned films block sightlines completely while still letting diffused light through. Lighter privacy films reduce visibility without blocking it entirely, which suits situations where some outward view is still wanted.
No, well-specified solar control film is designed to reduce heat and glare from direct sun while keeping the room feeling naturally lit, rather than tinting it dark. The exact level of light reduction depends on the specific film chosen.
With professional installation, window film lasts 10 years or more, backed by a 10-year warranty. Manufacturer warranties on the films themselves run 7 to 12 years depending on the specific product.
Yes. Window film is fully removable without damaging the glass underneath when it was applied and maintained correctly, so it can be taken off or replaced with a different film later.
Window film applies to standard single and double-glazed units. Some coated or self-cleaning glass types need checking beforehand, since certain coatings can affect adhesion, which is confirmed from photos or a quick check before quoting.
Yes. Beyond flat frosted or tinted panels, film can be cut into bespoke patterns, logos or bands, which is common for meeting room partitions and branded office glazing.
Yes. The same range of films covers everything from a bathroom window needing privacy to a full office partition scheme needing branding, solar control or a mix of both, with the same fixed-price quoting process either way.
Office Refurbishment
Most office refurbishment projects take 1 to 5 days depending on scope, from a single reception desk through to wall panels, doors and multiple meeting rooms across a floor.
Yes. Out-of-hours and weekend installation is available so the office is ready for the working week with no disruption to normal operating hours. This is the default approach for most occupied office projects.
Reception desks, wall panels, interior doors, meeting room feature walls, staff kitchen and breakout areas, glazed partition frames and commercial furniture can all be wrapped, alongside window film for partitions.
Costs vary by scope, but architectural film delivers the same visual transformation as a full refit at roughly 60 to 70% less cost. A fixed price is agreed before work starts, based on photos and a specification of the areas to be covered.
Yes, fire-rated film options are available as standard for commercial specifications where required.
Every office project comes with a fixed price agreed before work starts, along with full RAMS (risk assessment and method statement) and health and safety documentation for facilities teams or a main contractor.
Yes. Work can be split into sections so parts of the office stay in use while other areas are being refurbished, rather than requiring the whole floor to be vacated at once.
Not necessarily. Because installation is quiet, produces no dust and involves no demolition, much of the work can be scheduled out of hours specifically so the space doesn't need to be vacated during the working day.
Yes. Solid colour films are available across the full RAL palette, so a company's brand colours can be specified precisely for reception desks, feature walls and signage areas.
Wrapped surfaces can generally be used again immediately, though the adhesive continues to fully cure over the following days, so avoiding unnecessary interference with edges and corners during that period is recommended.
Lift Wrapping
Yes. The films used for lift interiors are fire-rated to Class B or Class 1 as required for occupied commercial buildings. Full product data sheets and certification are provided with every commercial installation for building compliance records.
Most lift wrapping projects in Cambridge are completed over a weekend. The lift is taken out of service on Friday evening and back in operation Monday morning, so tenants experience minimal disruption.
Brushed stainless, dark timber, concrete and stone effects are the most requested finishes for lift interiors, chosen to read as a considered, upgraded finish in a commercial environment.
Yes. The lift car, doors and surrounding lobby area can all be wrapped as part of the same project for a consistent finish through the whole space, not just inside the lift itself.
The film is applied to the existing interior panels only and doesn't alter the lift's mechanical or safety systems. Fire-rated film with certification is used specifically so the finish meets the standards required for occupied commercial buildings.
Cost depends on the size of the car and lobby and the finish chosen. A fixed quote with specification and fire compliance details is provided within 24 hours from photos and measurements.
An individual scuffed or damaged panel can usually be rewrapped on its own rather than redoing the entire car, which keeps ongoing maintenance costs down after the initial installation.
Yes. Full product data sheets and fire compliance certification are provided with every commercial lift installation, giving building managers what's needed for compliance records.
Yes. Lift wrapping is common in both commercial office buildings and residential blocks with shared lifts, using the same fire-rated films and weekend scheduling approach.
Wrapping the existing panels costs significantly less than sourcing and fitting new stainless steel or laminate panels, while achieving a comparable finished look.
Hospitality Refurbishment
Yes. Work is typically scheduled overnight or out of hours specifically so bars, restaurants and hotels can keep trading with zero service disruption during the refurbishment.
Back bar panels, bar fronts, counter fascias, booth dividers, wall panels, reception desks and furniture can all be wrapped. It's a common way to refresh a tired-looking venue without closing for a full renovation.
Most hospitality projects cost £2,500 to £10,000 depending on the areas covered, from a single bar front through to a full restaurant or bar refurbishment.
Timing depends on scope, but because work is scheduled overnight and out of hours, many projects are completed across a series of closed hours rather than requiring the venue to shut for consecutive days.
Yes. Commercial-grade film is scratch-resistant and rated for high-traffic environments, which suits the daily wear a bar front, counter or reception desk sees in a busy venue.
Yes. Wardrobes, headboards, vanity units and desks in hotel bedrooms are commonly wrapped rather than replaced, refreshing the room's look for a fraction of the cost of new furniture.
Yes. Hospitality refurbishments are often planned room by room or floor by floor so guest rooms stay bookable throughout, rather than taking the whole hotel offline at once.
Leather and dark walnut are popular for bar fronts and tops, with concrete and brushed metal used for feature walls and fixtures. The right finish depends on the venue's existing style and brand.
Yes, fire-rated options are available as standard for hospitality specifications where required, alongside the standard 10-year warranty.
Yes. A finish specification agreed for one site can be reused across other venues in the same group, keeping the look consistent without resurveying from scratch each time.
Retail Refurbishment
Yes. Work is typically scheduled out of hours and overnight so retail refurbishment is done before opening, with zero trading downtime for most projects.
Shop counters, fixtures, display units and feature walls can all be wrapped. It's a common way to deliver a rebrand or refresh without a full shopfit.
Architectural film delivers the same visual transformation as a full shopfit at roughly 60 to 70% less cost. A fixed price is agreed from photos and a specification of the areas to be covered before work starts.
Yes. A finish specification confirmed for one store can be applied consistently across a wider rollout, which keeps the brand look identical from site to site without resurveying every unit individually.
Yes. Solid colour films are available across the full RAL palette, so specific brand colours can be matched precisely for counters, fixtures and feature walls.
Timing depends on scope, but because work is scheduled overnight and out of hours around trading hours, many projects are completed across a run of closed periods rather than requiring the shop to close for consecutive days.
Yes. Commercial-grade film is scratch-resistant and designed for daily handling, which suits counters, fixtures and display units that get touched constantly in a busy shop.
Yes. Fixtures, shelving units and display furniture can all be wrapped alongside counters and feature walls for a consistently refreshed look throughout the unit.
An individually damaged fixture or panel can usually be rewrapped on its own rather than redoing the whole unit, keeping ongoing upkeep costs manageable.
Yes. A fixed quote and specification is provided in writing, and RAMS and health and safety documentation is available on request for landlord or head office sign-off where needed.
Education Refurbishment
Yes, though work is typically scheduled out of hours, at weekends or during term breaks specifically to avoid disrupting the school day, using durable, fire-rated architectural film.
Classroom furniture, corridor wall panels, reception areas, doors and communal furniture can all be refreshed using architectural film, without the disruption of a full refit.
Yes. Commercial-grade film is scratch-resistant and designed for high-traffic, high-use environments, which suits the daily wear that classroom furniture, corridors and communal areas see.
Yes, fire-rated film is used as standard for education refurbishment, meeting the requirements expected in occupied school and university buildings.
Timing depends on scope, from a single reception area through to corridors and multiple classrooms. Scheduling around a term break is common for larger projects so the space is ready for the next term.
Yes. Larger education refurbishments are often phased across successive half-terms or holiday periods, spreading the work so no single break needs to cover the whole project.
Yes. Full RAMS and health and safety documentation is provided, which facilities teams and governors typically need for compliance and safeguarding sign-off on any contractor work.
Durable, easy-clean neutral tones are the most common choice for wall panels and corridors, with wood-effect finishes used for furniture and reception desks to feel less institutional.
Yes, provided the underlying furniture is structurally sound. Wrapping refreshes the visible surface completely, though structural repairs to damaged furniture would need addressing separately first.
Yes. Refreshing existing furniture and wall panels with film costs significantly less than replacing them, which matters for school and university budgets that need to cover more square footage for the money available.
Healthcare and NHS
Yes. Anti-bacterial, fire-rated architectural film is used for NHS facilities, GP surgeries, dental practices and care homes, chosen specifically to suit infection control requirements.
Yes. Work is typically scheduled out of hours or at weekends specifically to avoid disrupting clinical operations, patient care or appointment schedules.
Reception areas, corridor wall panels, clinical room surfaces, doors and furniture can all be refreshed with anti-bacterial, fire-rated film suited to a healthcare environment.
The anti-bacterial, fire-rated films used are chosen to be infection control compliant for healthcare environments. Specific compliance documentation and product data sheets are provided for the trust or practice's own infection control sign-off.
Fire-rated film is used as standard for healthcare refurbishment, meeting the fire safety expectations of occupied clinical buildings, and full certification is provided as part of the project documentation.
Yes. Wood and marble-effect finishes are often used for reception areas specifically to make a healthcare setting feel less institutional, while corridors and clinical rooms typically use calmer, easy-clean tones.
Timing depends on scope, from a single reception desk through to full corridors and multiple clinical rooms, with work scheduled around clinical hours to minimise disruption.
Full RAMS, health and safety documentation and product data sheets are provided, which NHS trusts and private practices typically require for contractor approval and compliance records.
Yes. The anti-bacterial films used are designed to be cleaned with standard healthcare cleaning products as part of routine infection control cleaning schedules.
Yes. Projects are commonly phased by ward, department or room so clinical areas stay operational throughout, rather than requiring a full facility closure.
Hotels and Serviced Accommodation
Yes. Refurbishment is typically done room by room or floor by floor, with installation scheduled overnight so guest rooms stay bookable throughout rather than taking the whole hotel offline.
Bedroom furniture, wardrobes, bathroom vanities and corridor panels can all be refreshed room by room, without closing floors or the whole property.
Individual rooms are typically turned around quickly, often within a day per room for furniture and vanity units, allowing rooms to be back in service fast.
Yes. Hotel projects use the same commercial-grade films, which carry 10 to 12 year manufacturer warranties depending on the brand, alongside Velfi's own 10-year installation warranty.
Yes. A finish specification agreed for one room type can be repeated consistently across every room of that type in the hotel, keeping the look uniform throughout the property.
Yes. Commercial-grade film is waterproof and scratch-resistant, suited to the frequent cleaning and daily guest use a hotel bathroom vanity sees.
Warm wood tones are the most requested finish for wardrobes and bedroom furniture, with marble effects popular for bathroom vanities and a darker tone often used for corridor panels.
Yes. The same room-by-room approach used for hotels applies to serviced accommodation and short-let apartments, refreshing furniture and surfaces between changeovers or during a quieter booking period.
Yes. Installation can be scheduled overnight or during low-occupancy periods specifically to avoid disrupting guests and ongoing bookings.
For a multi-room hotel, wrapping existing furniture and vanities costs substantially less than sourcing and fitting new joinery and furniture across every room, while achieving a comparable finished look.
Property Developers
Architectural film delivers premium interior finishes on new builds and conversions without the cost or lead time of bespoke joinery, while still achieving a specification-grade finished look for kitchens, furniture and fixtures.
Yes. A finish specification agreed once can be applied consistently across every unit in a development, which keeps the finished look uniform and avoids resurveying each plot individually.
Because film is applied directly over existing or newly fitted surfaces rather than requiring bespoke manufacture and fitting, it supports faster completion timescales compared with waiting on custom joinery.
Yes. Fixed pricing agreed per unit or across the development as a whole means costs are known upfront for budgeting and sales pricing, without surprises once work starts.
Yes. Show homes are wrapped to the same specification as the units for sale, so the finish buyers see in the show home matches exactly what they'll get in their own unit.
No. The finished look is indistinguishable from bespoke joinery at close viewing distance, so it supports premium sales marketing and specification claims without the cost of true bespoke manufacture.
Yes. Out-of-hours and flexible scheduling is available to fit around other trades and the wider build programme, minimising conflicts with the rest of the site schedule.
Fixed quotes, product data sheets and RAMS documentation are provided, which can be included in a development's compliance and handover records where required.
Yes. Brushed metal and matching finishes can be specified for ironmongery and fixtures alongside cabinetry and worktops, so the whole specification reads as one considered scheme.
Yes. The range spans from Metamark MiA, a more affordable UK-made option, through to 3M DI-NOC, the premium commercial-grade product, so specification can be matched to the development's price point without changing the process.
Custom Wall Graphics
Branded office walls, retail graphics, school murals and residential feature wall art can all be produced as custom wall graphics, printed and applied to the specific wall or space.
Yes. Wall graphics are removable without damaging the surface underneath, provided that surface was in sound condition when the graphic was applied, which makes them practical for rented or leased spaces.
Wall graphics are backed by a 10-year warranty, the same as other architectural film applications, using the same commercial-grade materials rather than standard printed wallpaper.
Yes. Logos, brand colours and custom patterns can be reproduced precisely from supplied artwork, which is common for office reception walls and branded retail spaces.
Yes. Installation can be scheduled out of hours or overnight, the same approach used for other commercial architectural film projects, so the business isn't disrupted during opening hours.
Wall graphics can be produced to cover anything from a single feature panel to a full wall or multiple walls in a space, printed and applied in sections to fit large areas seamlessly.
Wall graphics apply to flat, sound surfaces such as painted walls, plasterboard and smooth render. Heavily textured surfaces are checked from photos beforehand, since significant texture can affect how the graphic reads once applied.
Yes. School murals are a common application, often scheduled during a term break the same way other education refurbishment work is planned, to avoid disrupting the school day.
Wall graphics use the same commercial-grade architectural film as other Velfi projects, which is more durable and easier to clean than standard printed wallpaper, and carries the same 10-year warranty.
Yes. Because the graphic is removable, it can be replaced with updated artwork later, for example when a brand refreshes its look or a school wants a new mural design.
