A Brief Overview of Fast Kitchen Renovation in Dubai
Anyone who has been in Dubai long enough has come to the same realisation – the kitchens, in most places, let the whole property down. Whether it’s a new build or older accommodation, the kitchen often feels mismatched, out of place or just generally awful.
Here we’ll briefly discuss how opting for a fast kitchen renovation using vinyl wrapping can eliminate this problem entirely – transforming a tired kitchen into something practically unrecognisable.
“According to a poll of around 11,000 UAE residents carried out by property website Propertyfinder, 70 per cent of respondents said that they rented their homes rather than buying them.” – The National, July 2016.
Although that’s an old stat, it still holds true. And with most Dubai residents renting, there’s traditionally been a frustrating limitation on what tenants can do to update their homes.
That outdated bathroom cabinet with deep grooves? The worn-out interior doors? The dark brown wood everywhere? And, of course, the yellowing kitchen – all sadly familiar.
But back to the point: kitchens.
Your average-sized space can now be wrapped in all things wood, stone, marble, concrete – you name it. With over 1000 material references available, you no longer have to just “accept” your kitchen as it is.
Think of it like shopping for a new outfit for the weekend: you can now choose your kitchen’s new look. Cabinets, countertops, backsplash, tiles, even ceilings – almost anything can be wrapped to suit your vision.
It’s the kitchen of your dreams, done in one day. Explore our kitchen wrapping services to get started.
Limitations of This Kind of Kitchen Makeover
There aren’t many. And certainly not the ones you’d expect.
Normally, choice is the limitation – but here, with over 1000 finishes (including fifty shades of grey, pun intended), that’s no issue.
Realistically, the only consideration is durability. What are your priorities? If you’re looking for something long-lasting, the answer is architectural vinyl. This option is scratch- and heat-resistant (up to 110°C), making it perfect for busy kitchens.
In fact, architectural vinyl often outperforms the material it replicates. Marble-effect wraps are non-porous and won’t stain like the real thing. Wood-effect finishes won’t scratch. Matte paint-effect doesn’t peel.
Standard vinyl, on the other hand, works well for quick “face-lift” applications if long-term durability isn’t your focus.
Some clients go a step further – like one who added tempered glass to boost heat resistance in certain areas. Small touches like that can make this kind of renovation even more flexible.
