What is high-performance facade film?
Facade film is a specialized self-adhesive sheet designed for the extreme demands of outdoor applications. Unlike standard vinyl, it is engineered to resist UV degradation, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Manufacturer warranties and stated service life vary by product.
As approved installers of Avery facade film, we deliver a finish that is indistinguishable from factory-applied paint. It allows for rapid colour changes and surface protection without the mess, smell, or long lead times of a traditional replacement programme.

our approach to sustainability
Retain the surface. Change the finish
Where the existing substrate remains suitable, architectural film can provide a new finish without automatically removing and replacing the underlying surface.
The right approach depends on the substrate condition, environment, required finish and expected service life. We assess those factors as part of the specification process.
External wrapping FAQs
How long does external architectural film last?
Premium exterior films such as Avery Dennison facade film are specified for long outdoor service. Manufacturer warranties vary by product, substrate and exposure. We confirm the current terms for the specified system.
Can it be installed in the rain?
While dry conditions are preferred, our expert teams are experienced in working through various weather conditions to ensure projects are completed on schedule without compromising the finish.
What surfaces can be wrapped externally?
External film is ideal for metal cladding, aluminium window frames, uPVC doors, and most smooth, non-porous exterior substrates.
Is it better than painting?
Yes. Wrapping provides a more consistent, durable finish that is resistant to chipping and peeling, and it typically outlasts traditional exterior paint systems.
