The Bodaq vinyl film distributed by Nelcos has a variety of patterns and textures, including marble.

Vancouver, British Columbia-Bodaq vinyl architectural film is a self-adhesive, stretchable decorative surface. Nelcos Distribution offers more than 450 patterns. In addition to solid colors, Bodaq films are also available in a variety of textures, including wood, metal, leather, stone and marble. Bodaq is manufactured by South Korea's Hyundai L&C Corp. Nelcos is a North American distributor, and its films can be used to cover any flat or curved surface, including walls, ceilings, doors, cabinets and furniture. The installation process involves wrapping the existing surface with film.

The following is a brief overview of the available design categories:

From black pearl wood to common hardwood boards, wood patterns of almost any color and texture can be provided. The Metal series contains 23 patterns, from pure gold to fine grid silver. Since the patterns imitate real materials, they reflect light accordingly. It also provides non-reflective patterns that can be defined as metal or texture, such as antique silver.

According to Nelcos, as the marble design trend is gaining momentum, Stone & Marble ranks second in popularity. Both are cost-effective options for achieving custom marble and stone furniture or the appearance of characteristic walls. Nelcos points out that solid colors and matte colors are often used in large interior projects with wood patterns because they cover the color spectrum. Fabrics and leathers are "the most interesting and diverse series because each pattern of leather is intricate and unique," Nelcos said. "In places where genuine leather could not be used before, such as walls, exquisite design solutions can be implemented."

The floors are presented in wood, marble and concrete patterns. In addition to its waterproof and moisture-proof properties, the thickness of the mulch is about twice that to improve damage resistance.

The thickness of the vinyl film is about 0.015 to 0.016 inches. They have rolls that are 48 inches wide and 2,000 inches long.
