Architectural Wrapping is a really simple process that involves covering

architectural film.

5. You may be thinking that it’s like
standard old-fashioned vinyl but the
materials of which these films are
manufactured are very well engineered to
be durable and high quality.

6. In fact architectural film or wrapping is not
really a brand new product. Its origins lie in
the vinyls that began to appear 60 or so
years ago.

patterns, which is constantly broadening its appeal and finding new uses and
markets.

are following suit, including the UK. A
recent trend is to wrap structures
inside a building.
