Metallic Series
3M's Metallic collection transforms surfaces with the appearance of brushed, satin, and hammered metals. These lightweight vinyl films replace heavy metal cladding while delivering convincing metallic depth and sheen.
Abrasion Resistant Performance
3M™ DI-NOC™ Abrasion Resistant finishes are designed for high-traffic interior environments where durability and appearance are critical. A specialized abrasion-resistant top layer helps reduce the visibility of surface scratches, while scratch debris can be easily wiped away to maintain a clean, finished look. Select designs feature advanced coating technology to preserve the realistic appearance of natural materials. These finishes are available in a variety of patterns, colors, and textures, including wood, metal, and stone, and can be applied to metal, wood, glass, and complex curved (3D) surfaces. 3M™ Comply™ Adhesive technology helps reduce air bubbles during installation, simplifying and speeding up the application process.
