A Store That Looks Refitted,
on a Floor That Keeps Trading.
A shop is judged on its surfaces before anyone reaches a rail. Wrapt Interiors™ re-skins the shopfit you already own — gondolas, display units, counters, changing rooms and back walls — in premium architectural film, applied in situ over the fixtures where they stand.
Typically up to 70% less than replacing the same fixtures, and programmed into evenings, Sundays and centre shutdowns, with larger units phased so one zone is worked while the rest of the floor keeps trading.
Five ways a store is renewed without a shopfit.
Nothing is stripped out. The fixtures, the layout and the stock stay exactly where they are — only the surface changes.
The Fixture Refresh
Gondolas, display units, plinths and shelving fronts arrive from different suppliers in different years, and the floor shows it. Wrapping brings the whole shopfit onto one finish in situ — the fixtures never leave the floor — so a room that had accumulated reads as a single designed range.
The Cash Desk & Counter
The one surface every customer touches, leans on and puts a bag down on. A counter front and till surround re-skinned in brushed metal, stone or a deep brand solid becomes the piece the store is photographed at, and a damp cloth at close is the whole maintenance regime.
Changing Rooms & Back Walls
Fitting-room doors, cubicle fronts and the wall a customer faces in the mirror decide how long they stay in there. Panelling and back walls are wrapped face and edge, so a scuffed, dated cubicle becomes timber, stone or a warm solid without a carpenter on site.
The Seasonal Reset
A boutique can change character between seasons: fixture faces, the feature wall and the counter brought onto a new palette while the fit-out underneath stays exactly as it is. Architectural film is the finish for surfaces handled every day. The window is glass film from the Cover Glass range, the display graphics are a signage job, and each belongs where it belongs.
Programmed Around Trading
Evenings, Sundays and centre shutdown periods are normal working hours for us, and a larger unit is phased so one zone is worked while the rest of the floor keeps trading. Most stores are a matter of days rather than weeks — typically 2–4 — and the schedule is confirmed in writing after the survey.
Which finish family suits a shopfloor.
Retail asks more of a surface than any office does. Which family you choose depends on what the fixture has to do all day.
Metal for fixtures that work. Brushed steel, bronze and warm brass across gondola ends, plinths, display frames and counter returns give a shopfit the made-to-order look it was costed out of, and the embossed ranges hold the grain of the metal as texture under the hand rather than as a printed picture. It is the family that takes daily contact without showing every touch.
Solids for brand colour. Over 1,500 finishes include a deep range of solid colours in matte, satin and soft-touch, so a brand palette is usually carried from stock ranges. Bring us your colour reference and we sample against it before anything is committed — held in your own store, under your own lamps, because a colour that reads right on a screen is a different colour under a shopfloor downlight.
Wood and stone for the premium floor. Oak, walnut and ash warm a boutique the way timber joinery always has; marble, travertine and concrete give a showroom the calm of a material few retailers can justify across that much surface. Both go on in situ, over the fixtures and walls already standing, for up to 70% less than replacing the same elements.
Film, not vinyl. Architectural film is the finish for the surfaces customers handle every day — counters, doors, cubicle fronts, fixture faces — and, for the glass, window and glass film from the Cover Glass range. Our guide to architectural film versus vinyl wrap sets out the difference, and the three things worth asking any bidder to put in writing.

What retailers and centre managers ask us.
Can we keep trading while you work?
That is how retail work is programmed. Evenings, Sundays and centre shutdown periods are normal for us, and a larger unit is phased so only one zone is out of use at a time while the rest of the floor keeps trading. Wrapping happens in situ — no demolition, no strip-out and no skip through the mall. We agree the access windows with your centre management before the first roll is cut, and confirm the schedule in writing after the survey, not before.
Is this the same as the vinyl on our windows?
No — a different class of material for a different job. Architectural film is manufactured as an interior building finish: engineered for daily contact and cleaning, catalogued by reference, and carrying its manufacturer's published specification and warranty. Decorative and signage vinyl is a graphics material, excellent for printed display graphics and short-term promotions and priced for that work. For the glass itself we install window and glass film from the Cover Glass range — frosted, lined, patterned, gradation and colour. We install film only, named on the specification so it can be verified.
How durable is it on fixtures customers handle all day?
Premium architectural films are engineered for exactly that — counters, doors, fixture faces and panelling taking hundreds of touches a day. Our finish films carry the manufacturers' own warranties against cracking, peeling and fade for up to 10 years, and where a published specification matters for an element, the manufacturer's data sheet is available on request. Day-to-day care is a damp cloth and a mild cleaner, no abrasive pads: brief your cleaning company once and that is the regime.
If one fixture is damaged later, do we redo the store?
No — that element alone is re-wrapped. A trolley into a plinth, a knock on a counter return: we come back to the single fixture, usually in hours, without touching the rest of the floor. The exact film reference is named on your specification, so the finish that goes back on is the finish that was there.
