Frequent Questions on Night Leaf Code – MALM Design Film
Furniture Film: Selection, Measuring and Preparation
What furniture surfaces is furniture film suitable for?
Suitability depends on the specific product and the existing surface. Compare the material, coating and condition of the surface with the product specifications.
How do I measure a piece of furniture for furniture film?
Measure the fronts, sides, panels and visible edges individually. Note any cut-outs, handle holes and the desired direction of the design, rather than using only the overall dimensions of the furniture.
How much furniture film should I order?
Add up the dimensions of all the intended sections and take into account the edges required for the product and project, as well as a reasonable cutting allowance. Check the format and scope of delivery on the product page.
How do I plan the decor direction across multiple fronts?
Before cutting, define a direction and number the doors and drawers. This makes it possible to continue wood, stone or linear looks consistently across adjacent surfaces.
Do I need to remove doors and handles before applying the film?
That depends on the furniture and the project. Removable parts often make it easier to measure and work on edges; follow the assembly instructions for the furniture and the product.
How do I prepare a furniture surface?
The surface should be suitable according to the product specifications, clean, dry, and free of any residue that could interfere. Always test sensitive or unclear surfaces first in an inconspicuous area.
Can I simply cover damaged furniture with adhesive film?
Film does not automatically compensate for structural damage. Loose coatings, raised areas or deep damage may remain visible and must be professionally assessed beforehand.
Where can I find the installation instructions for my furniture film?
The binding instructions are provided with the respective product. The pages on measuring furniture, choosing the right film and planning the installation also provide helpful information.
IKEA Furniture: Model Selection and Matching Film
How can I find out which IKEA furniture I have?
Check the product label, receipt or assembly instructions. Also compare the external dimensions, number of components, drill holes and visible edges with the product description.
Why is the series name not always sufficient for selection?
Series can include different sizes, generations, and versions. For a reliable match, the model variant and dimensions must correspond to the product being offered.
Are the films also suitable for older IKEA models?
This is only the case if the product description covers this model and the relevant dimensions match. Measure your existing furniture before placing your order.
Which furniture surfaces are included with an IKEA film product?
The scope of delivery is determined by the title, product description, and selection options. Fronts, sides, cover panels, doors, or inserts may be separate products.
What should I do if my IKEA series is not listed?
Use the general furniture film category and plan the surface based on its actual dimensions. Check the format, substrate and processing of the selected product there.
Do I need to remove IKEA fronts before installation?
That depends on the furniture and the surface in question. Removable parts can make it easier to align and work on edges; follow the instructions for the furniture and the film product.
How do I check the correct orientation of the IKEA furniture?
Document whether the furniture is assembled vertically or horizontally, with the left or right side facing out. Also check doors, drawers and inserts that alter the visible surfaces.
Is Maison Mavune affiliated with IKEA?
Maison Mavune offers products for correspondingly designated furniture models. Check the specific compatibility and dimensions on the respective product page.
Planning Furniture Film: Consider Surface, Pattern Direction and Edges Together
A successful furniture film project begins before cutting. Mentally divide the furniture into fronts, sides, panels, edges and cut-outs. Measure each part individually and note which surfaces will remain visible. Then check the product information for the existing substrate.
For wood, stone and linear patterns, establish a consistent pattern direction. Number doors and drawers so that the cut pieces and pattern flow can be clearly assigned later. Include visible edges, handle holes and transitions in the quantity calculation from the outset.
- measure each front, side and panel separately
- establish the pattern direction before cutting and installation
- prepare the substrate clean, dry and in accordance with the product information
- take edges, cut-outs and allowances into account during planning
Before Selecting: Check the IKEA Series, Variant and Dimensions Carefully
Many IKEA furniture items look similar, even though the series, production year or variant may differ. Therefore, do not rely on appearance alone. Look for the product label, proof of purchase or assembly instructions, and compare the external dimensions, number of elements, drill holes and edges with the product description.
The assignment on Maison Mavune describes the intended compatibility of the respective product. Before placing your order, check which furniture surfaces and parts are included. Accessories, inserts, doors or drawers may require a separate selection.
- Identify the series name and variant
- Measure the width, height and depth of the existing furniture
- Check the scope of delivery and the furniture surfaces shown
- In case of discrepancies, use the general furniture foil category
