FW-791 on boat deck top

Although we don’t know how 3M DI-NOC  would truly perform with this type of application on the open seas, here is a photo submitted by one of our customers for a display boat!  The work was done by Rocky Shaw (3M Window Film Sales Representative), and profile used was FW-791.

You can order FW-791 directly from IDSfinishes.com at our online store!  The 10′ length increment is located here.

If you have any innovative installations, please feel free to submit them to us and we’ll post them there (and then link them to our other social media sites!).

Ari Meisel’s LEED Materials: A Resource Guide to Green Building, is a new book aimed at advising and procuring proper materials for sustainable design and obtaining LEED Credits for building projects.  3M DI-NOC can help contribute to these credits by maintaining the existing stock of walls, doors and frames, etc. while refreshing the look and feel of the substrates.

However, there are many other uses and looks you can provide with the Carbon series as well.  We installed some CA-424 BROWN Carbon on some glass top and wood combination coffee tables that can be both aesthetic and practical by refreshing the look and reducing the glare set off from a glass table.

Subject: Use of 3M DI-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl

Friday April 16th I stopped by with my friend and Purchased some 3M DI-NOC vinyl from you. Over the weekend I have put some of it to good use. I am very pleased with the end result and how easy it is to work with this product. I would like to thank your friendly staff who helped me purchase this quality product. Attached are some images of the finished product.

Sincerly,
