Why Vinyl Film Is a Smart Solution
Vinyl film can be used in commercial, residential, and hospitality projects, it’s ideal for wrapping doors, walls, cabinets, panels, and millwork. It bonds to a wide range of surfaces, reduces waste, and enables faster project turnaround.
Materials like Bodaq vinyl film have redefined retrofit finishes and are now being specified in projects by designers featured in platforms like Interior Design Magazine, where flexibility, durability, and surface reusability are in focus.
But none of that matters if the installation isn’t done right. So here’s how to do it right, every time.
Step 1: Create a Smooth, Flat Surface
Start by preparing the surface. If it’s uneven or damaged, apply putty where needed and sand lightly until smooth. This ensures the film adheres properly and looks flawless once installed.

Step 2: Apply Primer
Primer helps improve adhesion, especially on challenging surfaces. Apply it across the entire area and along edges and corners. Once dry, gently sand again. (Note: Primer requirements vary based on the surface, contact our technical team for details.)
Step 3: Measure and Cut the Film
Carefully measure your surface and cut the Bodaq Architectural Film to size. Precise cuts lead to cleaner finishes and easier installation.
Step 4: Peel and Position
Peel off around 4 inches of the release backing and attach the top edge of the film. Take your time to align it correctly, it’s repositionable, so adjust as needed.

Step 5: From Top to Bottom
Using a squeegee at a 45° angle, apply the film from top to bottom in a fan-shaped motion. This technique helps remove air bubbles and guarantees a smooth finish.
