Alex and Anne hired RM wraps to wrap the interior of their fixer-upper sailboat in Whidbey Island, Washington in the fall of 2018. This project took 11 days to complete, using about 2.5 rolls of 3M Di-Noc architectural film.

Why to Choose Refinishing with Architectural Films
Unmatched Speed & Zero Unnecessary Grounding
Every day your vessel sits at the dock for a traditional wood veneer refit, it costs you thousands in lost utility or charter revenue. Traditional sanding, varnishing, and curing (and/or re-fabrication) can ground you for weeks or months. We can apply premium architectural films directly to stable existing substrates on-site with minimal prep required. Our entire process takes days or weeks—not months—allowing you to get back in the water quickly.
Unobtrusive On-Site Installation
Traditional joinery and wood restorations require extensive demolition, loud machinery, and toxic, foul-smelling solvents that disrupt all other onboard activities. We provide a completely clean, practically-silent installation process. Our master installers work seamlessly alongside your scheduled mechanical maintenance teams.
Advanced Architectural Films vs. Heavy Replacement
Our elite refits utilize world-class architectural films (like 3M DI-NOC) that perfectly mimic the texture, depth, and grain of natural exotic woods, brushed metals, and luxury leathers. These wrap materials are purpose-made to provide premium, factory-grade finishes, while being engineered to stand up to everyday wear and tear and still look brand-new years into service. They allow us to create dramatic transformations without the massive cost, environmental waste, or heavy weight penalties of total material replacement.
