The ecological benefits of self-adhesive films for sustainable renovation

July 9, 2024

Decorative film reduces use of materials

The materials generally used to renovate homes have a considerable impact on the planet. In fact, elements such as brick, wood, chipboard and marble sometimes generate excessive CO2 emissions.

From their extraction to their transport to European retailers, and their often highly chemical treatment to make them waterproof and mildew-resistant, these materials have a significant ecological impact.

Adhesive film, on the other hand, requires fewer steps to manufacture and transport, making it an ecological alternative for sustainable renovation.

Wall film as an alternative to harmful paint

Although there are paints on the market today made from natural ingredients, the chemical paint generally used to repaint interior walls can present a real risk to health and the environment. Both during application and after drying, it gives off a noxious odor. Its application also requires equipment that is generally used only once, such as paint rollers, brushes, protective tarpaulins...

Adhesive film, on the other hand, is applied without the use of tools, with the exception of a squeegee to avoid bubbles. What's more, it stays in place for many years without needing to be refreshed. It's also easier to maintain than a painted wall. A simple damp cloth is all that's needed to effectively remove dust.

Adhesive film for furniture prevents waste

Thanks to its realistic effect, there's no need to throw out your old furniture and buy new ones. You'll avoid waste and give your old-fashioned furniture a new lease of life, while saving money at the same time.
