Unmatched Durability
HG Surface wraps are designed to last over 10 years, significantly outlasting traditional paint.
Modernise the all-glass façade to reflect Kia’s updated brand identity without compromising structural integrity.
Unverified glass type raised concerns over thermal fracturing when applying black vinyl.
Carried out heat tolerance testing, followed by a full façade wrap with internal door detailing.
Group 1 Kia, Coulsdon, needed a full exterior refresh to align with Kia’s sleek, modern aesthetic. But with a full-glass façade and no documentation on whether the panels were toughened, the risk of thermal fracturing from black architectural film was a real concern.
To ensure safety and performance, we conducted glass testing and applied sample wraps to monitor heat impact. Once proven safe, our team wrapped the entire façade in Jet Black with silver-grey accents, delivering a sharp, brand-consistent finish. We also wrapped eight internal doors in Egger board vinyl for a seamless, cost-effective interior upgrade.
Glass wrapping requires care, especially with unknown materials. Our testing process gave the client full confidence in the solution.
“It’s not just about making it look good; it has to last and be safe,” said Gavin, CEO.
“That’s why we always start with testing when glass is involved.”
Seamless Exterior, Smarter Interior
The result: A flawless black-and-silver façade that ticks every brand box without a single fracture or defect. Internally, wrapping the doors instead of replacing them saved time, money, and mess all while maintaining a perfect visual match.
• Safe on Glass: Thermal testing ensured no risk of breakage.
• Fast & Precise: Completed with minimal disruption to business.
• Cost-Efficient: Vinyl-wrapped doors saved thousands on replacements.
• Brand-Perfect Finish: RAL-matched wrap delivered showroom-ready impact.
