Architectural Vinyl Wrapping
Wrap the carcasses, frames and visible surfaces of kitchen cabinets to unify worn or mismatched units in a single finish.
Overview
Kitchen cabinet wrapping covers the full cabinet structure, including side panels, frames, plinths and internal visible edges where requested, not just the doors. It is a useful option when units have been scratched, stained or discoloured by sun and steam, or when different cabinet runs no longer match. The work is assessed unit by unit before it is quoted.
While door wrapping changes the face of a kitchen, cabinet wrapping addresses the boxes themselves. Exposed end panels, open shelving, corner units, plinths and cornices are wrapped so that the entire run reads as one piece. This is especially helpful in kitchens where cabinets were added over time and show slightly different tones.
Cabinet carcasses behave differently from flat doors. They contain joints, exposed edges and sometimes moisture damage around the sink, so inspection comes first. We check for swollen board, lifted edging and heat exposure, then agree which surfaces will be wrapped and which should be left alone or repaired by another trade.
Choose cabinet wrapping when the units are structurally sound and the finish is the main problem. It is less suitable where carcasses are water-damaged, sagging or coming apart, because film follows the surface beneath it and cannot add strength. In those cases, refurbishment or replacement may give a better long-term outcome.
Final scope is confirmed in your written quotation after assessment.
Service Process
We inspect each surface for damage, swelling, peeling or heat exposure and confirm whether wrapping is suitable.
You choose a film design and finish from samples, viewed in your own lighting where possible.
Hardware is removed, surfaces are cleaned and degreased, and minor defects are repaired or filled.
Film is applied panel by panel, worked around edges and corners, and trimmed for clean lines.
Hardware is refitted, every panel is inspected, and we explain how to care for the new surface.

Door wrapping covers the fronts of doors and drawers. Cabinet wrapping also covers the structure around them, such as sides, frames and plinths, so the whole unit matches.
Internal surfaces can be wrapped in some cases if you want a matching or hygienic look. This increases the work, so we confirm it separately in the quotation.
No. Film cannot repair swollen or crumbling board, and moisture-damaged areas should be repaired or replaced first. We check sink-side units carefully during the survey.
Normally not. We work around the worktop and appliances, though tight junctions may need careful trimming and are reviewed at assessment.
Many landlords are comfortable with it because it is a non-structural change, but you should ask first. We can describe the work in writing to help with that request.
