## Pages

- [iNfeel or iNfeel Woven](https://decoblugroup.com/en/comparisons/infeel-or-woven): iNfeel is a self-adhesive vinyl film for furniture and walls, while iNfeel Woven is vinyl with a woven textile finish for dry areas. Woven is used on floors, walls, furniture and rugs; its flooring guide requires vinyl flooring adhesive. Woven is not suitable for bathrooms; iNfeel is water-resistant in indoor bathrooms and kitchens.
- [Vinyl film or paint](https://decoblugroup.com/en/comparisons/vinyl-film-or-paint): Paint changes the colour of a surface; a vinyl film such as iNfeel also changes the finish, with wood, stone, textile or plain textures. iNfeel is self-adhesive, 0.24 mm thick or more depending on the series, and goes over the existing surface. The fire-retardant (F) version of iNfeel has a B-s1,d0 reaction to fire classification (EN 13501-1). Not every finish is made in the F version.
- [Vinyl film or laminate](https://decoblugroup.com/en/comparisons/vinyl-film-or-laminate): iNfeel goes over the existing piece to change its finish, while a laminated board comes with its factory finish. The film adds 0.24 mm or more, depending on the series. The fire-retardant (F) version of iNfeel has a B-s1,d0 reaction to fire classification (EN 13501-1). Not every finish is made in the F version.
- [Covering instead of refurbishing](https://decoblugroup.com/en/comparisons/cover-or-refurbish): Covering with iNfeel keeps the piece and gives it a new finish; a traditional refurbishment takes it out and fits a new one. The film goes over doors, headboards, wardrobes, furniture, bathrooms, walls and kitchens. Decoblu does not do the building work: it sells the material and trains installers through approved training programmes.
