Flat doors first
Smooth flat doors and simple shaker style doors take a finish best. Heavily moulded or carved doors are harder to wrap cleanly, so leave those for later.
Internal door wrap Australia
Give tired internal doors a finish that suits the whole home.
Old honey oak and flat white doors date a hallway fast. A Velven peel and stick finish lets you change every internal door in soft oak, warm walnut or near black, with no sanding, no paint fumes and no replacing. It is a thick 160 micron self adhesive finish, so a wrapped door feels considered rather than covered up.
Modernise honey oak
Orange honey oak and dated timber doors calm down quickly under a soft oak, walnut or near black finish, with no sanding and no paint smell through the house.
Wrap it off the hinges
Where you can, lift the door down and wrap it flat on a table. Cleaner edges, easier corners and a far better result than fighting a door on its hinges.
Velven is a premium peel and stick vinyl wrap made for smooth, sealed internal doors. Wrap flat hollow core doors, shaker style doors and built in cupboard doors in soft oak, warm walnut or near black, then sample the finish in your own hallway light before you order metres.
Smooth, sealed, dry
Internal doors are a big visible surface, so plan before you wrap.
Doors are larger than a drawer front and you see them from across the room, so they reward smooth surfaces and careful measuring. Start with samples in your hallway light, then wrap door by door.
Best on smooth flat doors
Flat hollow core doors and simple shaker style doors are the calmest starts. Deep raised panels, ornate mouldings and rough or flaking timber need more patience, more trimming and a test patch first.
Modernise dated honey oak doors
If your home is full of orange honey oak or heavy nineties timber doors, a wrap changes the mood of the whole hallway without replacing a single door. Soft oak lightens the space, walnut warms it, and near black adds quiet drama.
Wrap the door off its hinges
Lift the door down, lay it flat, clean it well and let it dry fully. Wrapping flat gives you cleaner edges and fewer fights with gravity than working on a door that is still hung.
Plan around handles and hinges
Mark out handle holes, hinges and latch plates before you trim. Either wrap neatly around the hardware or take it off first, smooth the finish, then refit once everything sits flat.
Keep it to dry internal doors
This is made for internal doors in dry parts of the home. Skip exterior doors, wet laundry splash zones and any door that takes constant water, direct heat or weather, where the surface is never truly dry.
