Perfect for kitchen makeovers, furniture updates and arts and crafts, this peel and stick film is easy to apply, wipe clean, durable and heat resistant to 75 degrees C.
From countertops to kitchen doors and tired old tables, this self-adhesive vinyl wrap from D-C-Fix makes it easy to refresh your home. Covering up to 67.5 cm x 15 m, it allows you to showcase a contemporary look with a dramatic matt anthracite grey finish. Highly rated for opacity, lightfastedness and durability, the vinyl is designed with convenience in mind, and allows you to produce a whole new look without having to rip out your current cupboards and units. Applying it is incredibly easy, as you just need to peel off the backing little by little, stick it on your chosen surface, then smooth it down to eliminate air bubbles and smaller imperfections. A water-based, low-tack adhesion means you can rest assured in the knowledge that it can be peeled back and repositioned if you don't quite line it up right first time. It's naturally pliable and easy to wrap around corners or worktop edges, however you can also gently warm it with a hairdryer to make things even simpler. Heat-resistant up to 75 degrees Celsius, it will withstand the heat from hot cups and plates (but not pans) when used on kitchen counters, and you can also add sealant along the edges to make it watertight. Not only does this mean you can apply it in the kitchen, above a sink or near your hob, but also around your bath. This vinyl is fully removable, too, so if you damage or stain a section, or simply fancy changing the look, you can use a hairdryer to heat it up before peeling it off. Please note: as this vinyl is not heat-resistant beyond 75 degrees C, it needs to be applied at least 12 inches from open flames and should not be used as a splashback behind your hob.

FAQs
How do I clean the d-c-fix vinyl wrap?
You can easily clean the vinyl wrap with a soft cloth dampened with water and mild household cleaning products. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
Can I reposition the vinyl if I make a mistake during application?
Yes, the water-based, low-tack adhesive allows you to peel back and reposition the vinyl during application if it's not aligned perfectly the first time. Ensure you do this gently to avoid stretching.
What is the maximum temperature the vinyl can withstand?
The vinyl is heat-resistant up to 75 degrees Celsius (167 degrees Fahrenheit). It can handle warm cups and plates but should not be used for hot pans or placed near direct heat sources.
Is this vinyl suitable for a kitchen backsplash?
It is not recommended as a splashback directly behind a hob due to the heat and potential for grease splatter. It can be used in other kitchen areas, like on cabinet doors or countertops, away from direct heat sources.
How do I remove the vinyl wrap?
To remove the vinyl, use a hairdryer on a medium heat setting to warm the film. This will soften the adhesive, allowing you to peel it off slowly and cleanly without damaging the underlying surface.
Will this vinyl work on textured surfaces?
This vinyl is best suited for smooth, clean surfaces. Applying it to heavily textured surfaces may result in poor adhesion and visible texture through the film.
What are the dimensions of the roll?
The roll dimensions are 67.5 cm in width and 15 meters in length.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles or wrinkles appear after application.
Gently lift the vinyl back to the bubble or wrinkle. Use a hairdryer on a low setting to warm the area slightly, then re-smooth it down with a squeegee or credit card, working from the center outwards.
Vinyl is not sticking properly.
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Reheat the vinyl gently with a hairdryer and press firmly onto the surface. For some surfaces, a light spray of water can help initial placement (allow to dry fully).
Difficulty wrapping around sharp corners.
Warm the vinyl with a hairdryer on a medium setting. This will make it more pliable and easier to stretch and conform to the corner without tearing or creasing.
Vinyl tears during application.
This usually happens when trying to stretch too aggressively. Warm the vinyl slightly with a hairdryer and apply gentle, even pressure. If a tear occurs, you may need to cut out the damaged section and patch it with a new piece, or restart with a fresh section.
