Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Architectural Film?

  Architectural films or finishes are highly engineered, durable films that are designed to recreate the look and feel of real-life materials. The process itself involves the product simply being applied on top of existing substrates to give them a brand-new look.

  No matter the surface, whether that’s flat or even 3D, the architectural films will be able to conform and adhere, making them suitable for a whole host of environments in the interior setting. Not forgetting the products bring the same high-end results a traditional method of refurbishing would deliver.

• Where can the film be applied?

  The beauty of this product is that it is conformable with heat so the film can adhere to a whole host of different surfaces, not just flat! As long as it’s a smooth and proper surface, it will work. From walls, to cupboards, to tables, counters and much more.

  And the product isn’t just for interiors either. There are specialist products in the range that are for exterior redesign too, which is an application we love here at HG Surface. The product can even be used on applications like window frames.

  There really is no end to the possibilities with these products.

  There are some surfaces where you cannot apply Architectural Film however, that you need to be aware of. These are:

  • Floors
  • Brass, copper and other corrosion-suspectable metals

  • Non-sealed drywall, including skim-coat
  • Fabrics
  • Other porous substrates
