At Meridian Window Tint, we offer a variety of DI-NOC architectural finishes to meet your design vision and budget. Whether you're looking to enhance the look of your home or business in the Treasure Valley, we’ve got you (and your surfaces) covered.

What Are DI-NOC Architectural Finishes?

DI-NOC architectural finishes are vinyl films designed to replicate the appearance of different materials, such as wood, metal, and stone. These finishes can be applied to hard, non porous surfaces, including walls, ceilings, doors, and furniture, making them a versatile solution for any renovation or construction project.

One of the biggest perks to refreshing your space with DI-NOC finishes is that they are highly durable and very easy to maintain. Since they are applied directly onto your current surfaces, they can be installed quickly without any need for demolition or construction. You will be amazed at the quick transformation that comes at a fraction of the cost.

What Types of Patterns and Colors Are Available for DI-NOC?

DI-NOC is a desired product because it comes in several different styles that can fit any home or business’ interior design. From natural textures to modern patterns, you are truly only limited by the limits of your imagination.

A popular series of 3M Architectural Finishes is the Premium Wood Series, which as the name suggests, features an array of realistic wood patterns and textures. You can bring the natural beauty of oak, cherry, maple, or more unique woods like bamboo or zebrawood into your space without the ecological impact and expense of using the actual material.

Another natural finish, the Artisanal Series features stone, leather and suede patterns that add unique sophistication, texture, and earthy depth to any room.

If you are a lover of a more modern and industrial aesthetic, the Metallic Palette Series is for you. The architectural finishes are ideal for sleek, contemporary, and abstract interior design.

Don’t fret if you didn’t see a style that fits your vision right away. DI-NOC has many different designs available, allowing you to achieve your design dreams without breaking your budget.

What is the Cost of DI-NOC Installation Compared to Traditional Renovation Methods?

One of the biggest reasons we advocate for our customers to consider DI-NOC architectural finishes is that they offer substantial cost savings. If you were to do a full renovation, replacing surfaces, and potentially some reconstruction, you would need to plan a large budget for materials and labor. DI-NOC can be installed directly onto current surfaces, does not require any demolition, and does not cause any dust or debris unlike some construction and renovation projects. DI-NOC is easy to repair if any scratches, mars, or gouges occur from normal wear and tear.

Compared to a traditional renovation or construction project, DI-NOC installation takes a fraction of the time, which means you'll spend less on labor costs and can have your space back to normal faster.

Are There Any Limitations On The Types of Surfaces That DI-NOC Can Be Applied To?

While DI-NOC can be applied to a wide range of surfaces, there are some limitations to keep in mind. These finishes work best on smooth and flat surfaces that can bond with the adhesive. They can be applied to smooth, hard, non porous surfaces, such as:

• doors
• walls
• ceilings
• soffits
• elevator cabs
• lobbies
• restrooms
• columns
• cabinets
• casework

However, they cannot be installed on floors.

Before installation, we will test all surfaces to ensure that they are suitable for DI-NOC application. While DI-NOC is extremely durable, sustainable, UV-resistant, stain-resistant, and easy to disinfect, it is important to note that they aren’t impact- and wear-resistant. If you are unsure whether DI-NOC can be applied to a particular surface in your home, our experts can help you determine whether it is feasible.

Overall, DI-NOC can be installed just about anywhere, as long as the surface is smooth, hard, and non porous. It is a versatile and durable material that can transform the look of your space and provide long-lasting beauty and protection.

What is the Installation Process For DI-NOC Architectural Finishes?

DI-NOC is applied in a similar fashion to wallpaper, with only some minor surface preparation required before installation. Our team can professionally clean and smooth the application surfaces with our special products and equipment to ensure a proper bond of the adhesive.

In most cases, DI-NOC architectural finishes are applied with a “dry method.” This means we will not use any water or wetting agents during installation. If any surface is either not completely flat or has curves, we will use moderate heat and stretching techniques to create a natural and contoured appearance.

Our team has undergone the necessary training to install DI-NOC finishes professionally. We’ve made the process as straightforward as possible, allowing us to complete installation in a fraction of the time compared to a traditional renovation. Our goal is to give you beautiful, long-lasting finishes to enhance the look of your home or business.

What is the Recommended Maintenance for DI-NOC Finishes?

A huge benefit to DI-NOC architectural finishes is that they require very little maintenance compared to their natural inspirations (ex. wood and stone). When it’s time to clean your DI-NOC surfaces, use a simple mixture of smile soap and water, which should remove any dust, dirt, or debris that naturally accumulates.

If you need to use a stronger chemical cleaner, like a disinfectant spray, you can rest assured the finishes are strong enough to handle it. If you’re curious about what chemicals could possibly damage the DI-NOC applications, we can review with you the manufacturer’s guidelines.
