See the finishes before you decide anything.

3M DI-NOC is the most widely used architectural film in commercial environments worldwide. It's the product you'll find in NHS hospitals, five-star hotel lobbies and corporate reception areas. Over 1,000 finishes including wood, stone, marble, metal, fabric and concrete. Whatever the project, there's a DI-NOC finish that works.

It's the first product specified for demanding commercial environments because its durability record is established over decades of real-world use. Heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, cleanable with commercial products and fire-rated options are available as standard.

LX Hausys BENIF is the choice when tactile quality matters as much as the visual. The wood and stone effects don't just look convincing. They feel convincing. Run your hand across a BENIF wood-grain panel and you'd need to look carefully to know it isn't real wood. That level of texture replication is unique to BENIF at this price point.

Popular for kitchens, bathrooms and furniture where surfaces get touched and handled every day. The anti-bacterial surface protection also makes it well-suited to healthcare and food-preparation environments. Carries the longest manufacturer warranty of any film Velfi uses.

Cover Styl is a French architectural film brand with a strong reputation for solid colours, metallic effects and industrial finishes like raw concrete and oxidised metal. If the brief involves a bold clean colour or a contemporary industrial look, Cover Styl is usually the first port of call. Over 600 finishes, all scratch-resistant and cleanable with standard products.

Popular in commercial interiors, hospitality environments and residential kitchens where the goal is a strong, clean colour rather than a textured material effect. Particularly good for solid blues, greens and neutrals that kitchen owners increasingly want but struggle to find in standard door ranges.

Metamark MiA is made in the UK and offers a strong range of wood and solid colour finishes at a price point that makes sense for budget-conscious residential projects. It's an honest product for the right situation. Not everything needs 3M DI-NOC, and Metamark is the sensible answer when the budget matters and the environment isn't demanding.

Popular for rental property refreshes, lower-budget kitchen wraps and projects where the priority is a clean, modern look rather than commercial-grade durability. It performs well in normal residential use and looks good for the money. Just be clear-eyed that it carries a 5-year rather than a 10-year warranty.
