How did we get our start?
In 1958, in the small village of Weissbach, Germany, we produced a self-adhesive decorative film and it was a huge success. Later, we created a static window film to change the look of windows and glass surfaces. Today, we still produce in the same village in Germany, and "d-c fix" is a generic term for self-adhesive films.
What makes our products unique?
Our high-quality standards and innovative material properties make us one of the leading film manufacturers in the world.
Why do we love what we do?
We love clever and simple DIY projects - turning something old into new.
-
What do I need to work with Adhesive Film?
Scissors or a utility knife, a ruler or a measuring stick, a pen, and a plastic smoother.
How should the surface to which the film is being attached be?
Smooth, dust-free, and grease-free; untreated wood should first be treated with a primer.
On which surfaces can the Static Film be used?
The static film can be used on real glass and perspex glass. Please visit our FAQ page on our Amazon Brand Store for any other questions!

Product Description
d-c-fix adhesive Foils
They are stylish, inexpensive and super easy to apply – with the adhesive foils from d-c-fix, outdated but cherished furniture can be quickly and easily transformed into new favourite pieces. This is not only one of the top latest living trends, but also fantastic in terms of sustainability. When designing kitchen fronts, tabletops or chests of drawers, you can draw on a wide range of different designs. Wood and stone looks such as Ribbeck, Santana and Sonoma Oak or marble prints such as Marble grey and white are particularly convincing thanks to their authentic look. But plain colours in a matt finish also infuse a shot of modern elegance to the interior. The adhesive foils are available on rolls in various dimensions.
d-c-fix adhesive foil – flexible application – ideal for furniture and as decoration

---|---|---|---|
Application area 1 – Kitchen frontsA new kitchen is an investment that needs to be well considered – after all, it has to please for a long time. Particularly important, therefore: the right look. For all those who don’t want to dig deep into their pockets again after a few years in order to change the look of their kitchen, the decorative foils from d-c-fix are the perfect choice because designs that are no longer quite up-to-date, as well as traces of use and small flaws, disappear behind the self-adhesive foils in no time at all. Particularly popular for renewing kitchen fronts? Wood and stone looks as well as plain colours in matt. |
Application area 2 – Cupboards & chests of drawersMonochrome? Old hat! So how about a makeover for the chest of drawers or the shoe cupboard in the hallway? Thanks to adhesive foils from d-c-fix, these furniture items can be transformed into truly unique pieces that are one of a kind. |
Application area 3 – Table topsThere is no question that the surfaces of dining tables and desks are exposed to particular stresses. Scratches, pen marks and other stains make themselves at home on them all too quickly: Not very attractive. The adhesive foils from d-c-fix can provide a remedy here, because the small unsightly traces of everyday life disappear behind the high-quality self-adhesive decorative foils from d-c-fix, in a flash. |
Application area 4 – DIY decorationSometimes, the smallest things make the biggest changes. Flowers and decorative items are known to immensely influence the impact of a room. Adhesive foils from d-c-fix can also be used to set small but subtle accents that have a big impact – whether it’s to visually enhance flower pots or redesign drawers – there are no limits to creativity with the d-c-fix foils. |
Make new out of old – “sustainability”
Tastes change, and what was really stylish two years ago may now be considered unfashionable. The same can also apply to furniture. But that doesn’t mean you have to immediately part with it - you can always give them a new look. This is where the adhesive foils from d-c-fix are the perfect partner, because they come in numerous different designs and can thus turn an unloved piece into a favourite again in no time at all. And the best thing about it: it’s super sustainable!
Adhesiveness
An absolute advantage of d-c-fix adhesive foils is that they are self-adhesive and don’t require a special adhesive, as is the case when applying wallpaper, for example. This makes application very easy. And if anything goes wrong during application – no problem either: Repositioning is easily possible because the full adhesive strength is only reached after a few hours.
Easy application
Special tools, special know-how or specific adhesive – nothing of the sort is required when applying the decorative foils from d-c-fix. After all, they adhere all by themselves. If you have scissors, a pencil and a ruler at hand, you’re well equipped for cutting. If you want to simplify application even more, you can use the d-c-fix application set that includes a cutter knife and doctor blade.
Easy cleaning
Once the foil is in place, most of the work is over. Now it’s just a matter of proper care. Cleaning is very easy, as standard cleaning agents can be used. Warm water with a little washing-up liquid as a mild soapy solution works best. It’s easy to wipe down the foil with this. Damp spots should be rubbed dry with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains can be removed using alcohol-based cleaners.
Heat resistance
If organic shapes need to be covered with the foil, this too is no problem at all. To cover the relevant object, the foil can be heated and stretched. It can easily withstand temperatures of up to 70 °C for short periods.
Removable without residues
You’re no longer happy with the design? No problem. The adhesive foils from d-c-fix can also be removed again without leaving any residues – the easiest way to do this is to heat the foil slightly with a hair dryer.
Processing adhesive films from d-c-fix - step by step
- Measure the surface and cut the film to size.
- Peel off approx. 10 cm of backing paper and place the film on the edge of the object.
- Press the film on lightly.
- Continue to peel off the backing paper step by step.
- At the same time, press the film on with a squeegee to avoid air bubbles.

It's only a little bit of a pain in the butt to put on, which is ok because I expected it to be a large pain in the butt.
Here are a few tips:
1) I think the most important thing is to unroll it slowly as you work so that you can hold the excess paper as tight and taut as possible while you smooth it on. I used a 6 inch plastic ruler to work out the air bubbles. Slow and steady wins the race when putting this on, but the results are worth it for the money!
2) I followed the suggestion of another reviewer and googled "how to do corners with contact paper" and found a lot of helpful suggestions. As usual, the internet makes everything look a little bit easier than it really is, but I was able to finagle a few ideas together and make them work for me.
3) The paper was just a little too narrow to cover the entire top of the dressers, so I had to use two strips. There's a seam where the two meet - this would be almost impossible to avoid as it's not an actual slab of marble and I am not some sort of contact paper whisperer. For my purposes, this is totally fine - I used as wide of a piece as possible and then used a smaller strip at the back of the dresser. Since the dressers are against a wall, and I have various tchotchkes on them, it's really not noticeable. If you are covering a large and/or highly visible surface, this something I would consider.
It's hard to get the patterns to match up along a seam - and even if you did, it would likely mean wasting a lot of paper AND the seam would still be visible if you were looking at it from close up. If this is the type of thing that would drive you bonkers, it might not be the right fit for you. I also think curved surfaces/corners would be tough. Do-able for those folks out there that are pluckier and more patient than me, but I probably would have lost my marbles.
4) Have your tools laid out within arm's reach before you start - once you remove the backing from the adhesive, it's really all systems go time. Here are the things I found most helpful:
• Plastic ruler to use for a "squeegee". Obviously it doesn't have to be plastic, or even a ruler, but you are going to want something rigid/strong for this. I found the advantage of the ruler to be that there's no handle - I did this project on my own, so I found myself contorted at odd angles for much of the time, and a squeegee handle would have been unwieldy to manage.
• Scissors
• X-acto knife - I used the scissors for making big cuts and the x-acto knife for cleaning up the edges and doing the corners.
• Pencil - helpful to measure/mark the back of the paper for extra strips/pieces.
All in all, for the price, it's a seriously awesome product for small projects. I ended up needing to buy two rolls for this project (two dressers), but have most of the second roll leftover for a rainy day DIY.

I applied the paper to my Formica kitchen countertops (see before and after pics) over two years ago. Since then, the paper has not peeled or stained -- it looks like when I applied it. Honestly, I'm shocked. I thought the edges would pop up at some point, but nope, everything has stayed stuck. These counters are pretty high traffic since my kitchen is tiny. To keep the paper nice, I just make sure of a few obvious things: 1) I don't put anything hot directly on it; 2) I wipe it regularly; 3) I keep sharp things away (don't cut stuff on it, duh). The last point I was actually a bit lax on, so I have some superficial scuffs where i dragged a coffeemaker back and forth every day for like a year before I realized I was scratching the paper.
The bottom line is, the paper was only meant to be a temporary glow-up until I remodeled my kitchen, but it's held up so well, I'm fine with keeping it and continuing to save money!
I won't go in-depth into the application process since many other reviewers have shared tips -- I'll just say I watched a couple Youtube videos and used an Exacto knife and credit card. It was pretty easy, and it turned out really well -- just a few tiny bubbles that I fixed easily. My one minor beef (because I am anal) is that I got two rolls, and I swear one roll had a warm undertone and the other had a cool undertone. No one has said anything or probably even notices, and I stopped obsessing about it as soon as I put down the paper and saw how good it looked compared to mint green laminate (sorry, retro fans).
I haven't tried removing it, so can't speak to that. But if you're into the long-term outlook, I say go for it!

It has a very good random wood grain pattern, has the proper color of real mahogany and is very easy to cut and apply. It makes the panels look like the original Sony panels such that you likely would not be able to tell unless you removed them from the tape deck so this product did exactly what I needed it to do.
I also used it to cover a 3D printed box that contains desktop audio components (pre-amp, amp and switcher) and it looks like a real mini-audio system with wood laminate. So another successful use of the remaining roll.
I'm not sure the adhesive will hold up over a long period of time so I'll have to monitor that but, for now, it seems to be holding on nicely. It does have a vinyl smell to it but that goes away after a while.
If you need a wood-like vinyl laminate and don't want to spend a lot of money, this product should work for you.
