Why does film last on a door?

Architectural film lasts for years on doors and cabinetry — but only if the prep is right. The difference lies in groundwork, heat and edge finishing.

The surface is cleaned, matted and primed before the film goes on. The film is then heated, stretched over edges and wrapped under rims — that edge work decides whether a film peels after a short time or sits for years.

That is why we install the films ourselves: the material is only half the result.
