3M™ DI-NOC™ Architectural Finishes - Sky Pod refurbishment

Creating an ambience that’s durable and practical yet luxurious.

Sky Pod are pioneers of the ultimate upcycling project, turning decommissioned aircraft into high-end glamping pods, garden offices and media rooms. Sky Pod needed to keep the charm of the aircraft but create a premium interior and exterior space without adding too much weight, cost or waste to their bespoke builds.

The Sky Pods refurbishment concept was designed to use a broad range of materials to create an ambience of calm and luxury using sumptuous material finishes.

“ Adding color and texture to Sky Pods has always been our challenge, but DI-NOC delivers beautiful and practical solutions” - Mike Hyde, Sky Pods

Taking the Sky Pod palette beyond ‘Aircraft White’

Sky Pods creator Mike Hyde develops beautiful, customized spaces utilizing decommissioned aircraft. However, the lack of design and color in an aircraft makes for a blank canvas. Mike needed a solution to be able to bring his clients visions to life with the high-end sophistication that his customers demand without sacrificing the durability and cleanability of the pod.
3M™ Endorsed Installers are able to transform both the exterior and interior of these very unique structures. They used a sophisticated range
of DI-NOC™ Architectural Finishes to transform the aircraft fuselage into a refined relaxing and elegant space.
By using a palette of wood, suede, stone, metal and leather, they were able to deliver sophistication in a space that is easy to clean, maintain and repair and was hassle free to install.

By using DI-NOC™ Architectural Finishes on the interior and exterior of the pod, it creates a consistent design theme that resonates throughout the entire experience.

“The end result fuses beauty and practicality ensuring these aircraft live on for decades to come.” - Mike Hyde, Sky Pods
