Make
Space Yours.

All of British Columbia. Send a photo and your town with your quote request and we'll take it from there — most quotes start from photos and rough measurements, so distance rarely slows anything down.

DM a photo of the surface on Instagram (@buvidstudio), email it to hello@buvidstudio.com or call 778-952-0053. Rough measurements help. The quote builder above writes the message for you — and can open it straight in your mail app.

Four things, priced for your exact surface — never a flat guess:

• The film itself — solar, frost, print graphics and Bodak interior film all cost differently
• How much of it — square footage, full coverage vs. partial
• The surface — glass type, access, height, and how much prep it needs
• Design work — a plain frost band is simpler than printed, multi-panel graphics

That's why a photo plus rough measurements gets you a real number fast, instead of a ballpark that changes later.

It scales with the job: a frost band or a set of cabinet doors is a very different day from a full storefront or a whole kitchen. What we can promise is the order of events — you get a time estimate with your quote, before anything is cut, and we confirm the install window with you up front. Tell us your deadline (an opening date, a move-in, a launch) in your quote request and we'll plan backwards from it.

Very little — we measure, cut, line up and finish by hand on site. It helps if the surface is reachable: window displays moved back, items cleared off cabinets we're wrapping, and the vehicle washed if it's a fleet job. We'll tell you exactly what your specific job needs when we book it, so there are no surprises on the day.

Storefront and office work is planned to keep your doors usable — that's why timing is part of every quote conversation. Tell us your opening hours and any hard deadline, and we'll agree on an install window that disrupts the least before we start.

Full frost gives complete privacy — nobody sees in or out, but the light still comes through, so the room stays bright. A partial frost band puts privacy exactly at eye level while people can still see in over or under it — good for storefronts that want privacy and a view at the same time. Send a photo of your glass and we'll recommend one for your space.

Both exist, and they're different films. Solar-control film is made to cut glare and solar heat while keeping the view; privacy and frost films are made to block sightlines. Some spaces need one, some need the other, some need different films on different windows. Tell us the problem — a west-facing room that bakes, a meeting room everyone can see into — and we'll match the film to it instead of selling you one film for everything.

No — and any installer who says otherwise is guessing. Glass type, age and exposure all matter when choosing a film, especially for tint and solar films. That's why we ask for photos and details up front: so the film we recommend is one that's suited to your glass, not just the one on the shelf.

The work on this page is built to be reversible: the Cafe MILI coming-soon film came off on opening day, the fleet wrap comes off clean when the truck changes hands, and the striped wall film removes cleanly when the room needs a new mood. Film goes on without paint, paste or demolition — and comes off without taking the surface with it.

Keep it simple and gentle:

• Soft cloth or sponge, mild soapy water — that's all most film ever needs
• No abrasive pads, powders or blades on the film surface
• Give fresh film time to fully settle before its first proper clean — we'll tell you how long for your job
• On wrapped cabinets and edges, wipe rather than soak

Treated that way, film keeps its finish — and if an edge or corner ever lifts, tell us early. Small lifts are a quick fix; ignored ones aren't.

It depends on the film, the surface and how much sun and wear it takes — an interior cabinet film and a sun-beaten storefront live different lives. So instead of a generic number: before you commit, we'll name the exact film going on your job and what its documented specifications say. You approve the film first, then we install it.

The cabinets themselves are usually fine — it's the finish that's dated. Hyundai Bodak interior film gives them a brand-new finish with no paint, no demolition and no new doors, and the edges are folded by hand so it reads as a real finish, not a sticker. The vanity in our work section went from glossy red to dark wood grain without a single door being replaced.

Usually it's the best option, precisely because it's reversible: no paint, no holes, no demolition, and it comes off clean when the space changes hands. Two things stay your call — check your lease or strata rules first if they cover window coverings or signage, and if anything needs approval, we're happy to describe exactly what will be installed so you can ask with real details in hand.

For most company vehicles, partial — like the Renewspace truck above. Brand colour, logo, services and phone number placed where eyes land first (sides and tailgate) carry the whole message at a fraction of full-wrap coverage, and it removes clean when the vehicle is sold or replaced. Full wraps make sense when the vehicle itself needs to become the colour. Send a photo of the vehicle and we'll tell you honestly which one yours needs.

Yes — storefront graphics and fleet wraps are designed work, not off-the-shelf stickers: panels are designed, printed and installed to your branding. If you have logo files, send them with your quote request; if you only have a name and a colour in mind, that's enough to start the conversation.
