General

No. TECTARA Materials Limited is a materials supply company only. We supply products to contractors, architects, and developers. Installation is carried out by your own team or appointed contractors.

Products

Yes — in interior work they describe the same material. "Architectural film", "interior film", "architectural vinyl" and "vinyl wrap" are trade names for a self-adhesive PVC sheet applied over an existing surface to change its appearance without demolition. Note that "vinyl wrap" is also widely used for vehicle wrapping, which is a different product with different adhesives and outdoor durability requirements. KOVON is an interior architectural film and is not intended for vehicle or exterior use.

KOVON is supplied in full rolls of 1.22 m × 50 m across all series; cut-length supply is not available. Minimum order is one roll. Physical samples are available to architects, designers and contractors on request — dispatched within 3–5 working days.

Technical

KOVON Architectural Film has been tested by SGS for VOC emissions to EN 16516 (report No. CANIN26011986102, issued September 2026). After 7 days, TVOC was 23 µg/m³, formaldehyde was not detected (< 2 µg/m³), and no carcinogenic VOCs were detected (detection limit 1 µg/m³). Results relate to the sample tested. The full report is available to specifiers on request — contact us with your project requirements.

KOVON is designed for interior applications. It is not recommended for exterior use, surfaces continuously above 50 °C, or areas with direct prolonged sunlight or standing moisture. For wet-area interiors, edges must be fully sealed — see the Installation Guide.

We provide product data sheets, installation guides (for reference), the EN 13501-1 reaction-to-fire classification report, and the EN 16516 VOC emission test report. Visit the Technical page to view and download available documents, or use the contact form to request specific documentation.

Fire & Safety

KOVON Performance Grain has been tested and classified B-s1,d0 to BS EN 13501-1:2018, tested by SGS under HOKLAS accreditation (Reg. No. 229) — very low flame spread, the lowest smoke classification, and no flaming droplets. The classification applies to the film applied to substrates classified A1 or A2 (such as calcium silicate board), self-adhered, without joints. The classification report (No. SDFTS26003552R01, issued July 2026) is available to specifiers on request.

No — and we state this openly because your fire engineer will ask. The B-s1,d0 classification is valid for application to non-combustible (A1/A2) substrates without joints. Application to combustible substrates such as MDF or plywood falls outside the scope of the classification. For fire-rated applications, specify Performance Grain as a system: film plus A1/A2 substrate. Always confirm project-specific compliance with a qualified fire engineer.
