Furniture film-technically known as nano-ceramic furniture protective film-falls under the category of interior decoration and finishing materials; it is a surface protection product based on a highly transparent polymer substrate. The material offers properties such as high-temperature resistance (up to approximately 300°C), scratch and abrasion resistance, moisture resistance, and ease of cleaning. By covering the furniture surface, it provides shatter-resistance and radiation-blocking capabilities, making it suitable for tabletops made of marble, glass, piano-lacquer finishes, sintered stone, and solid wood. The film utilizes a precious metal sputtering process (incorporating materials like silver-indium oxide) and features an outer layer reinforced with an acrylic structure. Its high transparency preserves the furniture's original texture, its thermal insulation prevents heat damage, and its ultra-durable surface wards off scratches. Widely used in homes, hotels, and offices, the product protects furniture through a physical overlay method.
Early forms of furniture protection date back to the 1970s, when glass sheets were commonly used to cover tabletops. Furniture film in the modern sense emerged around 2008, originating when technicians specializing in automotive paint protection films (PPF)-originally made of PVC-began applying these materials to furniture. The market subsequently evolved to include materials such as PET and TPH, giving rise to various product categories marketed under names like silicone film, "diamond" film, and crystal film.
