skai x-brush window profile film (award “Special Mention”)
Award for skai x-brush: The highly precise laser engraving of the window profile film skai x-brush makes it possible to create a detailed and contoured grinding look.
The highly precise laser engraving of the window profile film skai x-brush makes it possible to create a detailed and contoured grinding look. Precision at the nano-level creates an amazingly realistic, delicate, and non-repeating result: opposing grinding marks meet at an oblique angle and give the window profile film a lively and techno-dynamic look. The metallic colors make the surface iridescent. The light refraction changes depending upon the viewing angle. The exterior film perfectly matches modern, rectilinear architecture.
d-c-fix metallic designer film (award “Winner”)
Award for d-c-fix metallic: With their typical metallic look, the adhesive films of the d-c-fix metallic edition create exciting accents with a modern ambience.
The adhesive films of the d-c-fix metallic edition are particularly quick and easy to use. With their typical metallic look, they also create exciting accents with a modern ambience. On furniture, kitchens, and other device fronts, the typical metallic colors and surfaces are particularly effective.
