FAQ

The Primer is a water-based bonding liquid for porous surfaces that absorb and the Primer + is solvent-based for laminated and hard (non-absorbent) surfaces. The application of the water-based primer is done on the entire surface while the solvent primer is applied only at the edges, corners and all critical points.

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.

Yes, contact us for more information.

A cutter, squeegee, and heat gun if you need to stretch the coating. If there is a preparation on the surface that must be done before application, we recommend using the right products compatible with that surface.

The ideal is to have an overlap of 2 to 3cm.

Yes, because we use an existing material, this avoids overproduction by industrial companies which would have to produce more and therefore pollute more.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If there is a bubble when applying a decorative film, you can try to lift the film where the bubble is located (if a laminated surface, tiling, etc.). You can also make a small hole in the bubble and apply a little heat there.

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.

For cutting an adhesive film, on surfaces where there is a risk of the film lifting, we recommend a 45° cut.

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.
