Construction steps

Measure dimensions: Before applying film to a cabinet, you first need to accurately measure the surface dimensions of the cabinet, including length, width and height. According to the actual size, cut out a PVC wood grain decorative film of sufficient size for later use.

Clean the surface: Use detergent or a damp cloth to thoroughly clean the cabinet surface to remove oil and dust and ensure the surface is clean and smooth.

Heating treatment: Use a heat gun to heat the PVC wood grain decorative film to make it softer and easier to attach to the edges and curves of the cabinet.

Trim the edges: According to the shape and size of the cabinet, use a trimming knife to trim the excess membrane cloth to keep the edges neat and beautiful.

Folding treatment: For the corners and edges of the cabinet, use a scraper to fold the membrane cloth to make it fit more closely to the surface of the cabinet, while ensuring that there will be no blistering at the folded edges.

Local treatment: If bubbles or wrinkles appear during the film application process, you can use a hot air gun to heat the area, and then use a scraper to squeeze out the bubbles or straighten the wrinkles.

Detail processing: For details on the cabinet, such as handle holes, keyholes, etc., use a knife to carefully handle the details to ensure that the membrane cloth and the cabinet surface fit perfectly.

Surface treatment: Finally, gently wipe the surface of the cabinet with a clean membrane cloth or soft cloth to ensure that the surface of the PVC wood grain decorative film is smooth and traceless.

Precautions

Before applying the film, ensure that the environment is well ventilated to avoid harmful gases causing harm to the human body.

Be patient and careful when applying the film to avoid leaving bubbles, wrinkles and edges that don't fit on the surface.

When using a hot air gun, pay attention to controlling the temperature and distance to avoid deformation or burns of the membrane caused by overheating.

The surface of the cabinet after applying the film should be protected from heavy scratching, impact and chemical solvents, so as not to affect the decorative effect and service life.
