Frequently Asked Questions

Please read through our FAQ's to find out more about architectural wrapping

  • Is vinyl wrapping a disruptive process?
    Vinyl is wrapped over the surface of objects while in situ, meaning we don't have to remove or dismantle to carry out our work. The only thing we may need to remove would be hardware such as handles, etc.
  • How durable is the vinyl?
    Architectural wrap vinyl is thicker than most other vinyl making it highly durable and resistant to impact. It is also moisture and bacterial resistant as well meaning it can be cleaned with most mild detergents without causing damage.
  • Should I do anything to prepare prior to installation?
    We carry out all prep work on the surfaces we will be wrapping prior to installation. The only thing we ask is that the area is cleared of any obstructions and that all loose furniture such as ornaments and appliances, etc are removed before we arrive.
  • What surfaces can vinyl be applied to?
    Architectural wraps can be applied to almost any surface in any environment such as wood, metal, glass, plastic and other painted surfaces.
  • How do I care for my vinyl wrap?
    Our architectural wrap vinyl is extremely durable and shouldn't become damaged during normal cleaning. We recommend cleaning using mild soapy detergents or disinfectants and a microfibre/soft cloth.
  • What is Architectural Wrapping?
    Architectural wrapping is a simple process of applying self adhesive vinyl to existing surfaces to change its appearance or texture.
  • What if my surface has existing damage. Can it still be wrapped?
    Yes, damaged surfaces can still be wrapped, however, any existing damage would still show through vinyl once it has been applied. We will assess each job on its own merit and where possible we would try and remedy or repair the damage before installing the vinyl.
  • How long does the process take?
    Each job is based on its own merits and will be assessed and discussed with clients during the initial measure stage.
  • How long will the vinyl last?
    All architectural wrap vinyl installed by Wraptor comes with a 10 year guarantee against cracking, yellowing and discolouration. This guarantee does not cover accidental damage caused by misuse or poor maintenance.
  • How many colours and styles of vinyl do you have to choose from?
    Wraptor has over 500 different styles and patterns to choose from in our range including wood, marble, natural stone, glitter, fabric and solid colours in both matte and gloss finishes. Our architectural vinyl also comes in textured options as well as smooth to offer a more authentic finish.
  • Isn't it cheaper to just buy new doors?
    Buying doors may be the easier and sometimes cheaper option but it only replaces the doors meaning they will still be a different colour form the rest of the cabinets and fascias. When we carry out a kitchen wrap, we wrap all viewable surfaces to give your kitchen the complete uniform finish.
  • I have older style moulded doors. Can these be wrapped?
    No. This style of door cannot be wrapped due to the depth of its channels. Under these circumstances, we would manufacture new doors for the client which can then be wrapped in any colour or style of your choice.
  • Can you also wrap my appliances?
    Yes, unless they are unusually shaped, we can wrap your washing machines, dryers and refrigerators.
  • Can my worktops be wrapped too?
    Yes. We can also wrap worktops in any colour or style. We actually always recommend wrapping worktops as well, as these can be the main focal point and can really set a kitchen off.
  • Can I still use my kitchen while you are working?
    Once we have begun work on a kitchen wrap we will require uninterrupted access to carry out our work. We recommend clients remove anything they may need and plan meals in advance.
