Distinguishing itself from other self-adhesive films, 3M DI-NOC boasts a lengthy track record and delivers unmatched performance, ideally suited for demanding 3D interior applications. Its physical and chemical attributes outshine alternative films, making DI-NOC the premier choice for renovation and design undertakings.
So, why should you consider 3M DI-NOC as the ultimate interior design solution?
After comprehensive testing, it is evident that 3M DI-NOC surpasses other options like laminates, veneers, wallpapers, and paint in numerous aspects.
Here are the top ten reasons to contemplate 3M DI-NOC for your next interior project:
1. Boundless Application Possibilities:
3M DI-NOC provides a swift and uncomplicated solution for refreshing fixtures and fittings. Its versatility allows for surface renewal in virtually any sector, offering limitless application opportunities. Whether you are working on a project in hospitality, retail, corporate, or government settings, or dealing with hospitals, shops, showrooms, or offices, 3M DI-NOC can rejuvenate ceilings, walls, facades, doors, columns, bars, cupboards, lifts, partitions, and more.
2. Effortless Application:
3M DI-NOC can be applied virtually anywhere and is easily installed by approved professionals. Its in-situ application ensures businesses can operate without disruption, noise, mess, or waste, unlike traditional removal methods. With a Comply adhesive, these flexible films allow for bubble-free application directly onto existing surfaces, reducing the likelihood of errors. Achieving a seamless finish on intricate shapes, 3M DI-NOC delivers a sharp, nearly invisible edge and can wrap around corners in a single-step process, eliminating the need for edge banding and ensuring a superior finish.
3. Budget Maximization:
In budget-constrained scenarios, architectural finishes prove to be a cost-effective means of achieving the look and feel of natural materials at a fraction of the cost, even using existing surfaces. Renovating with 3M DI-NOC is generally 1/6th to 1/8th the cost of investing in new interiors, offering a cost-effective solution with superior results. Moreover, long-term costs, including yearly maintenance, are significantly lower with 3M DI-NOC, and there are fewer planning regulations and architect fees associated with this method.
4. Minimal Business Interruption:
Downtime is often the most inconvenient aspect of business refurbishments. Unlike laminates or veneers that require specialized off-site equipment, and paint or wallpaper that cause disruptions due to drying time and odors, 3M DI-NOC finishes are odorless and require no machinery, resulting in minimal disruption for businesses. Commercial establishments can remain open during renovations.
5. Environmentally Friendly:
Embracing the motto "Wrap it, don't rip it," 3M DI-NOC promotes resource sustainability by reusing existing fixtures, reducing costs, and preventing unnecessary waste from going to landfills. This approach benefits both customers and the environment.
6. Extensive Pattern Selection:
With over 1,000 dynamic patterns and counting, 3M DI-NOC offers an extensive variety of choices. It outpaces other brands with its wide range of unique patterns and specialized finishes, making it the preferred choice for architects in interior design projects. These patterns include Abrasion Resistant, Exterior, and Ultra Matt finishes, providing high-impact results and sophisticated designs. Furthermore, 3M DI-NOC offers patterns in various in-demand styles such as matt, wood, concrete, textile, metallic, and more, replicating the appearance of natural materials.
7. Fade Resistance:
3M DI-NOC excels in UV resistance, ensuring that it maintains its original colours even after years of exposure. With up to 100 times more UV resistance on certain patterns, you can trust that the colors will remain vibrant over time, both indoors and outdoors.
8. Strength and Durability:
3M DI-NOC stands out as a proven and durable choice. Its wear and tear resistance is comparable to High-Pressure Laminates (HPLs), with four times greater resistance to scratching than painted surfaces. This durability is crucial for areas like walls, tables, and counters. Impact tests also demonstrate superior performance compared to paint and competitive substrates, with 3M DI-NOC being 30% stronger, akin to suitcase strength, protecting against marks and damage in high-traffic areas. Additionally, it offers superior stain and chemical resistance and abrasion resistance compared to alternatives like paint and wallpaper.
9. Fire Safety:
All 3M DI-NOC films adhere to CE and EN 13501 fire certification standards, ensuring peace of mind for both installers and customers. The 3M brand guarantees rigorous testing and compliance with performance regulations required for wall coverings, safeguarding your business.
