The d-c-fix Cortes Grey Marble film excels in transforming everyday items and spaces with minimal effort. Its primary applications include:
Kitchen Makeovers: Refresh outdated kitchen cabinet doors, drawer fronts, or even create a faux backsplash. The wipe-clean surface makes it practical for areas prone to splashes and spills.
Furniture Upcycling: Give new life to old tables, dressers, bookshelves, or bedside cabinets. The marble design adds a touch of elegance, turning worn pieces into focal points.
Craft & Hobby Projects: Ideal for customizing picture frames, decorative boxes, or creating unique wall art. Its flexibility allows for application on various shapes.

Bathroom Accents: Can be used on vanity tops or cabinet exteriors, provided the area does not experience constant direct water exposure. Remember to use coasters for heated styling tools.
This film is designed for robust performance in daily life. It is water-resistant, meaning minor spills can be easily wiped away without damaging the film. Its heat resistance up to 70°C allows it to be used in kitchens or other areas where indirect heat might occur, but direct contact with hot pots, pans, or appliances should be avoided. The material is also easy to cut and clean, ensuring impressive and long-lasting results when properly applied and maintained.
Achieving the best results with your d-c-fix Cortes Grey Marble film requires proper preparation, careful application, and ongoing care.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure your chosen surface is perfectly smooth, clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose paint particles. For optimal adhesion, rough or porous surfaces may need to be lightly sanded and primed (test primer in an inconspicuous area first).
Measure and Cut: Measure the dimensions of the surface you intend to cover. Cut the d-c-fix film to size, adding a small overlap of approximately 1-2 cm on all edges for easier trimming and a neat finish.
Initial Application: Peel back only a small section of the backing paper, about 5-10 cm. Align the exposed adhesive edge of the film carefully with your surface.
Smooth and Adhere: Slowly and gradually peel away more of the backing paper with one hand while using a squeegee or a soft cloth with the other hand to smooth the film onto the surface. Work from the center outwards to push out any air bubbles.
Remove Air Bubbles: If bubbles appear, gently lift the film back to the bubble and reapply, smoothing firmly. For tiny trapped bubbles, a fine pin can be used to prick them, allowing the air to be pressed out.
Trim Excess: Once the film is fully applied and smoothed, use a sharp utility knife along the edges of the surface to carefully trim away any excess film for a clean, professional look.
The d-c-fix film adheres best to smooth, non-porous surfaces. This includes materials such as:
Painted wood (ensure paint is fully cured)
Laminate
Glass
Metal
Plastic
It is not recommended for heavily textured, unfinished wood, porous, or damp surfaces, as adhesion will be compromised and the finish may appear uneven.
Cleaning: Wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads, which can damage the film's finish.
Heat Protection: While heat-resistant up to 70°C, always use coasters, trivets, or hot pads for very hot items (e.g., fresh-from-the-oven dishes, hot curling irons) to prevent potential damage or discoloration.
Avoid Cutting: Do not cut directly on the film surface to prevent scratches and tears. Always use a cutting board.
Sunlight Exposure: Prolonged direct sunlight exposure or high humidity might affect the film's longevity and color over time. Consider these factors when choosing application areas.
