Cover Styl Architectural Film
Cover Styl lets you change how a surface looks without replacing it. It's a self-adhesive architectural film that goes over existing joinery, doors, walls and counters, in more than 500 finishes from timber and stone to brushed metal and textile. We're certified Cover Styl installers, and we've been working with Melbourne businesses since 1969.
What is Cover Styl?
Cover Styl is a thermoformable vinyl film made for interiors. Heated during installation, it shapes around edges, corners and curves, so a finished cabinet or door reads as one surface rather than a wrapped panel. It's designed to handle everyday wear and regular cleaning in busy commercial spaces.
We're installers, not distributors. We source the film through Australian Cover Styl suppliers for each job, which means we can choose the right finish for the surface and the traffic it gets.
Where we use it
- Kitchen and office joinery, cupboards and drawers
- Doors, door frames and lift interiors
- Reception desks, counters and bar fronts
- Walls and feature panels
- Retail displays and shopfit furniture
- Tables, shelving and other furniture
If a surface is still sound but looks dated, it's usually a good candidate.
Kitchen, fridge and lift wraps
Kitchen wraps
Office kitchens, staff rooms and café and hospitality kitchens wrapped in a new finish. Cupboard doors, drawer fronts, kickboards and splashback panels go from dated laminate to timber, stone or a solid colour, without pulling out the kitchen or closing the room for a week.
Fridge and appliance wraps
Commercial fridges, bar fridges, dishwasher fronts and vending machines wrapped to match the joinery or your brand, so appliances stop standing out as the odd one in the room.
Lift wraps
Lift interiors, lift doors and lift lobbies refinished in timber, stone or metal looks. Most lifts can be wrapped out of hours, so the building stays in use.
Why upgrade instead of replace
Replacing joinery means demolition, trades, noise and days of disruption. Cover Styl goes over what's already there, so most jobs are finished in a fraction of the time and less ends up in a skip. We also install out of hours, so cafés, shops, offices and hotels can stay open while we work.
Why installation matters
Cover Styl only looks like the real thing when it's installed properly: surfaces cleaned and prepared, joins planned, and edges and corners heated and finished. As certified installers, we're trained in Cover Styl's methods, and every job is handled by the same small team from quote to final install, including outside business hours.

Common questions
Is Cover Styl the same as wallpaper or a sticker?
No. It's a thick architectural film designed for commercial interiors. It can be thermoformed around edges and takes regular cleaning.
What surfaces can it go on?
Most smooth, sound surfaces, including laminate, timber, painted surfaces, metal and some plastics. We check each surface before we quote.
Can you wrap a commercial kitchen?
Yes. Cupboard doors, drawer fronts, kickboards and panels can all be wrapped, usually without removing them. We check the surfaces first, because damaged or swollen laminate needs repairing before it's wrapped.
Can you wrap a fridge or a lift?
Yes. Fridge and appliance fronts, lift interiors, lift doors and lobbies are all common Cover Styl jobs. We usually wrap lifts out of hours so the building isn't without a lift during the day.
Can it be used outside?
Cover Styl has a dedicated exterior range for some facade applications. Ask us about your project.
Can you install outside business hours?
Yes. We regularly install at night and on weekends, so your business doesn't need to close.
Do you sell the film on its own?
No. We supply and install it as part of a job.
