×Increasingly, refurbishment is the more sustainable option for architects and designers. When the structural surfaces and interior fixtures of a building are still good, it doesn’t make sense to demolish and rebuild when the carbon costs of construction waste and new materials are so high.
Global leader in adhesive and film technologies, 3M has a solution in its DI-NOC™ Architectural Finishes. The protective self-adhesive overlay looks similar to natural materials and has impressive durability. Abrasion-, impact-, stain-, chemical- and UV resistant, it can be applied to all types of existing surfaces – smooth or rough, flat or curved.
Interiors can be transformed with creative combinations of DI-NOC™ Architectural Finishes which are both lightweight and easy to install

×Whether bringing warmth to an office meeting space, or a fresh identity to a retail showroom, the finishes can be applied to doors, furniture, elevators, separation walls, reception desks, interior and exterior walls amongst other surfaces. The options are truly limitless.
With 35 families and over 1,000 different patterns, creativity is never compromised. 3M™ DI-NOC™ Architectural Finishes realistically mimic the effects of natural materials, so designers can choose from wood, metal, stone, textile, leather, marble and many others at a much lower environmental and financial cost than a typical refurbishment.

×We all know that when it comes to resources, time is often the most precious. The lightweight 3M™ DI-NOC™ Architectural Finishes allow for easy, fast and dust-free application. Space can be transformed in-situ, overnight, with no need to close the business.
Practical qualities continue when it comes to maintenance. The non-porous surface – tested with the most commonly used disinfectants – is easy to clean without deterioration of the surface finish, so the fresh new look will also be a long-lasting one.
