Question 1

Why use an adhesive coating?

Accepted Answer

Compared to other renovation methods, an adhesive coating is easier and faster to apply. It is also more durable and enables you to renovate your furniture rather than throw it away.

Question 2

What is a self-adhesive coating?

Accepted Answer

A self-adhesive coating is a vinyl covering that can be applied to walls, furniture or doors. It is the ideal solution for any interior decoration or renovation and perfectly recreates the materials (wood, marble, textile, metallic, glitter, leather, natural stone, solid colour) since most of these adhesive vinyls have a structure.

Question 3

Why use an adhesive coating rather than paint?

Accepted Answer

It is a non-invasive solution that does not generate dust or odour. It's faster, easier to maintain and has better resistance. With an adhesive film, the result is more structured and very realistic visually and to the touch. Also, you will not have to close your establishment during the renovation and, of course, with paint, a fresh coat would be necessary after a while; with Cover Styl', its appearance does not change.

Question 4

Can you apply a decorative film in boats?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we also have a certification for the application of our Cover Styl’ adhesive coatings in maritime environments.

Question 5

Can adhesive coatings be applied in hospitals?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can apply an adhesive coating in a hospital and our products have a large laboratory-tested antibacterial capacity.

Question 6

Will the adhesive vinyl shrink over time?

Accepted Answer

Calendared PVC may show a small amount of shrinkage over the years (2 to 3 mm), this is why it is recommended to leave an overlap between the strips.

Question 7

Will the adhesive vinyl lose its colour?

Accepted Answer

No, the adhesive vinyl will not lose its colour because it is UV treated.

Question 8

How do you clean an adhesive vinyl?

Accepted Answer

Just use a cloth and water to clean an adhesive vinyl. It is not necessary to use a special product, however, preferably use a solution with a neutral PH.

Question 9

Can you apply one coating on top of another?

Accepted Answer

Certainly, you can easily apply an adhesive coating on top of another. It is of course not recommended to do this for coatings that are too structured like leather, glitter, etc. It is recommended not to apply more than 3 coatings on top of each other.

Question 10

Can I apply adhesive vinyl myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but we recommend that you take part in our training or contact a professional for optimal results. However, if you want to apply our films by yourself, you can find installation tutorial videos on our YouTube channel.

Question 11

Can you print on decorative film?

Accepted Answer

It is possible to print on our Cover Styl' with a UV printer.

Question 12

Are the adhesive vinyls moisture resistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the majority of our adhesive vinyls are moisture resistant, but depending on the application you may need silicone for the edges. Of course, we do not recommend ranges such as leather, glitter, etc.

Question 13

Can you cover tile with adhesive vinyl?

Accepted Answer

Applying our adhesive coatings on tiling is entirely possible, you then decide whether you want to mark the joint or work the joint beforehand in order to have a flat surface.

Question 14

Can adhesive coatings fit all shapes?

Accepted Answer

Most of the Cover Styl' references are not intended only for application on a flat surface, they can stretch up to 15% in order to adapt to many surfaces.

Question 15

Can you install the adhesive coverings in a bathroom?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the adhesive coatings are moisture resistant. You can apply them on shower, bathtub or bathroom furniture as long as the surface is clean before applying the vinyl. However, we advise you to apply silicone to edges in contact with water. Certain ranges are of course not recommended such as glitter, leather, etc.

Question 16

Are the adhesive coverings repositionable?

Accepted Answer

Regarding Cover Styl’=' coatings, it depends on the surface. They can be repositioned if the surface is smooth/laminated. However, the more you reposition the vinyl, the less effective the glue will be. Finally, on some surfaces (e.g. paint), repositioning the film will damage the surface and the film will no longer be able to be bonded. So be careful and use the services of a professional if necessary.

Question 17

Are the adhesive coverings heat resistant?

Accepted Answer

The ideal application temperature for adhesive coatings is between 15 and 25 °C, so you can easily apply it in a house, hotel or office. Therefore, for example, avoid placing a very hot object such as a pan directly on the coating.

Question 18

Are the adhesive films subject to scratching?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the coating. In fact, structured adhesive vinyls like the Wood range have few problems with scratches, unlike “smooth” vinyls like the Solid Colour range, for example. Our "Soft Touch" series is treated with a silicone that makes it even more robust with regard to scratches.

Question 19

Can you safely remove an adhesive coating?

Accepted Answer

It is entirely possible to remove a Cover Styl’ film without risk if it is applied to a laminated surface. However, if it is applied to wallpaper or paint for example, your original surface will be damaged.

Question 20

Can you apply an adhesive covering outside and on the floor?

Accepted Answer

You can install an adhesive covering outdoors or on the floor but we do not recommend it. Furthermore addition, the warranty does not apply if an adhesive film is applied on the floor or outdoors.

Question 21

What are the technical characteristics of Cover Styl' products?

Accepted Answer

Cover Styl' is made of PVC vinyl with an acrylic-based glue on the back protected by silicone-coated paper and a printed outer layer. You can consult the technical data sheets for the products on our website or contact us for more information.
