Self adhesive film for interior doors: the vinyl designs

Each door vinyl wrap here is a vinyl film with the adhesive already spread on the back, under a backing sheet. It goes on the flat face of a wooden, laminated or hollow-core door and works as a covering for interior doors with no need for paint. For furniture and shelves there is the wood effect vinyl wrap; on this page you will find:

  • rolls 40, 55 or 90 cm wide in oak effect, grained wood effect and white, black or grey wood effect;
  • two packs of 2 rolls of 55 cm, to cover a door with two strips side by side;
  • a 5 m roll for doors and wardrobes and an adhesive vinyl paper;
  • three adhesive border strips of 5 m for frames and mouldings, including an 8 cm strip and a 20 cm border.

Vinyl wrap for a 90 × 210 cm door: width and finish

An interior door is normally 210 cm high and 60, 70, 80 or 90 cm wide, but measure yours: count the door itself, not the frame. On a door 80 cm wide, the 90 cm roll covers the full width in a single strip, with no joins. On a 90 × 210 cm door it fits to the exact centimetre and leaves no margin for trimming: two 55 cm strips are better, with the join following a grain line. The 40 cm roll is for narrow bands and touch-ups.

For the finish, start from the floor: the oak effect goes with parquet and stoneware tiles in warm tones, the grey or white wood effect brightens a dark hallway, and black stands out against light walls. If the door is flat, you can complete it with adhesive panel mouldings.

Adhesive paper or PVC: what is the difference

Vinyl film, that is, PVC film, is often called adhesive paper too. Real paper has a paper base: it costs little, but handles damp badly, tears at the corners and cannot be rubbed. Vinyl is a flexible plastic film, which folds over the edges of the door and is cleaned with a damp cloth.

On a door, which is touched and knocked every day, vinyl is the right choice: all the rolls on this page are vinyl, including the one sold as adhesive paper. For walls there is, instead, peel and stick wallpaper.

Vinyl wrap for a security door and exterior doors

On a security door, the vinyl goes on the inner panel. If it is flat, it is put on the same way as on an interior door and saves you replacing the panel. If it is grooved, with slots and raised panels, the vinyl does not sit well in the grooves: cover only the flat parts. In the entrance hall you can repeat the tone on the wall with the wood effect wall panels.

Vinyl for exterior doors is another matter: these rolls are made for doors and furniture inside the home. You can use them on the inner face of the front door. On the face exposed to sun, rain and ice we do not recommend it: the vinyl may fade and the adhesive give way. In any case, the vinyl changes the look of the door, not its security.

How to cover a worn door, step by step

You need a tape measure, craft knife, felt squeegee, degreaser and hair dryer. On a worn door, repair the surface first, because the vinyl shows every flaw: fill holes and dents with filler and sand flaking paint. Then:

  • remove the handle and, if you can, take the door off its hinges and lay it flat on two trestles;
  • degrease the whole door and let it dry well;
  • cut a strip as long as the door plus 5 cm, peel off 15-20 cm of the backing sheet and line up the top edge;
  • work down, removing the rest of the sheet little by little, and run the squeegee from the centre outwards to push out the air; at the corners, warm the vinyl and fold it;
  • trim the excess, open the handle hole and, if the door has a glass panel, cover it with a window film.

How to clean the door wrap and how to remove it

To clean it, a soft cloth with water and a little mild soap is enough; go over the area around the handle, where it gets dirtiest. Avoid alcohol, solvents and abrasive sponges, which can leave the surface dull. If a corner lifts, warm it with the hair dryer and go over it again with the squeegee.

To remove it, warm it with the hair dryer and pull slowly, low and almost parallel to the door. On old or poorly bonded paint it can take some colour with it: if you rent your home, test first in a hidden corner.

What it costs and how much vinyl a door needs

The rolls, the packs of 2 rolls of 55 cm and the borders for frames and mouldings are sold separately and at different prices. To compare them, divide the price by the area each roll covers or, for the borders, by the linear metres. Delivery is free above a minimum order value and comes with tracking; the maximum delivery time for your country is shown on each product page before you buy, and you can return your order within 30 days.

For one side of an 80 × 210 cm door you need about 2.20 m of the 90 cm roll, or two 55 cm strips, that is about 4.40 m: check the roll length on the product page. For both sides, double it. For frame and architrave, add the two uprights and the top rail: on an 80 × 210 cm door the total is just over 5 m per side, 45 degree cuts included, so one 5 m border may not be enough. Offcuts are enough for a bedside table; for kitchen wall units there is the kitchen vinyl wrap.

Frequently asked questions

How do you cover an interior door?

The simplest way is to cover it with adhesive vinyl. You measure the door, cut a strip with a few centimetres of margin, smooth it on from top to bottom with the squeegee and trim the edges with the craft knife. You do not need paint or carpentry tools. On an 80 × 210 cm door, the 90 cm roll covers the full width with a single strip, that is, with no joins.

What options are there for covering a door?

There are three main routes: paint it, replace the panel or the whole door, or cover it with adhesive vinyl. Paint needs sanding and several coats; replacing it is the heaviest job. You put the vinyl on yourself in a few hours and take it off whenever you want a change. It gives the cleanest result on flat doors; on deep relief it is advisable to cover only the flat parts.

Can you put adhesive vinyl on a wooden door?

Yes, if the wood is smooth, dry and varnished or lacquered. On raw or porous wood the adhesive grips poorly: sand, apply a coat of primer and let it dry well before putting the vinyl on. Remove wax and dirt with a degreaser. On wooden doors with raised panels you can cover the flat parts and leave the panel frames visible, or cover them with the adhesive borders.

How do you change the panel of a security door?

The inner panel is taken off and replaced by a new one made to measure, usually with the help of a technician or the door distributor. If yours is sound and flat, you can avoid replacing it and cover it with the vinyl, working with the craft knife around the handle, the lock and the peephole. On a grooved panel, with deep grooves, the vinyl does not stick well and replacement remains the cleaner route.

Can you cover the door frame too?

Yes, with the 5 m long wood effect adhesive borders. Choose the width to suit the architrave: the 8 cm strip suits narrow ones, the 20 cm border the wider ones; cut in half, it gives you two 10 cm bands. At the top corners cut at 45 degrees for a clean join, and choose a tone close to that of the door so that door and frame look like a single piece.
