Question 1

How durable are our architectural vinyls?

Accepted Answer

Architectural films are very durable, scratch-resistant, commercial-grade materials. They are specially designed and manufactured for high-traffic commercial spaces that experience a high volume of customers, such as hotels and restaurants. They also contain a pressure-sensitive adhesive where the longer it stays on the surface, the stronger it adheres. When installed professionally, they will hold their form, look and feel throughout the years.   Wrapping is in the same category as painting and cabinet lamination regarding lifespan. With painting, you will see a life span of 8-15 years. With architectural films and laminates, you see a typical lifespan of 10-20 years, if not more. Architectural films may withstand a high degree of use. As with any other solution, their durability and lifespan usually depend on the level of abrasive service that they experience over time. For example, when newly bought cabinets (the long-term solution here) experience the wear and tear of everyday life, damages will usually show around ten or so years. By "wear and tear," we refer to the naturally occurring damage you see over 10-20 years. For example, on walls, you'll see marks and scratches. On granite countertops, you could see slight cracks and stains from food.

Question 2

Is this an affordable solution?

Accepted Answer

Yes! When compared to traditional home renovations or even cabinet refacing and countertop replacements, our solution can be up to 70% cheaper while saving you time and a headache that goes into messy renovation projects. Our solutions also offers you various types of wood, metals, solid colors, fabrics, stone and marble looks. Whatever your style may be, we have a wrap for you.

Question 3

Are they water proof?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our vinyl is 100% waterproof, mold and mildew resistant, and fire heat resistant. Extreme high heat will damage the vinyls; however, this also includes cabinet lamination materials and painted surfaces.  According to the manufacturer's website, "From manufacturing to installation BODAQ Interior Films promote a healthy environment and safety, minimizing the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and avoiding other hazardous chemicals.  Recognizing different installation requirements, we supply both fire retardant and non-fire retardant interior vinyl films to fulfill orders of any size."

Question 4

Is there any warranty?

Accepted Answer

We provide a 5-year warranty for the product and installation. If anything happens out of your control, such as an installation error or a malfunction with the product, we will send our team out to repair it right away.   We provide an additional 5-year optional peace of mind plan. Please ask your sales consultant about this program and add it to your quote.

Question 5

Can you use the vinyls on the floor?

Accepted Answer

If you wish to have the vinyl installed on the floor, we recommend a space with minimal shoe foot traffic, such as a master bathroom. We will be doing staircases in the future once our team is fully trained in that department; however, it will only be for customers who are aware of the risks of it being placed in a high-traffic area. Shoes would need to be taken off if placed on staircases, especially shoes such as high heels.

Question 6

How real do they look and feel?

Accepted Answer

Our materials have real veneer-like quality. We will gladly show you samples, and example finishes to demonstrate the extraordinary quality of the product. Contact us to set up a time and date for one of our team members to show you samples as well as an install demonstration - free of charge, of course, and with no commitments whatsoever (we love bragging about our product!). We are confident it will blow your mind.   Having architectural vinyls will convince your family and friends that you went out and purchased a brand new slab of stone countertop, replaced your cabinets altogether, or got a completely new door installed - all within a day or two!

Question 7

How long does installation usually take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope and complexity of the project. Still, most projects usually will take between 1-2 days, a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods of demolition and re-installation.

Question 8

Do I have to do anything prior to installation?

Accepted Answer

We ask that each customer conducts a deep clean of their area before installation as this will prevent any dust, crumbs, or grease from coming in between our wraps and the surfaces. It will also decrease the time frame of the job if the kitchen is already cleaned. If a deep clean is needed on our part, we will consider it an extra cost.

Question 9

How many people will be in our space?

Accepted Answer

The usual team size varies depending on the scope and complexity of the project, but on average, each job requires between 2-5 installers.

Question 10

Will there be a mess, loud noises, or strange smells during installation?"

Accepted Answer

Our messes, noises, and smells are kept to a minimum. You will see scraps of paper, but nothing damaging to your area's surfaces. You will hear drills, but nothing too menacing. There are no strong smells that will spill into the rest of the house. After work is finished, a thorough clean-up will be conducted, leaving your space in the same condition.

Question 11

What happens if there is a mistake during installation?

Accepted Answer

Before installation, we will warn our customers about any areas that may prove to be potential barriers to a perfect result. We will do our very best to minimize these barriers. If there is a mistake on our part that was not previously pointed out, we will find the nearest available date for our team to come back and fix whatever does not sit well with you!

Question 12

How much does this cost?

Accepted Answer

The price of any wrapping project varies considerably with the complexity and scope of the project. We can give you an accurate quote upon coming to the site for measuring. Or we can give you an estimation if you contact us through our email and attach a picture of what you want to be wrapped.
