Why Wood Grain Is the Most Popular DI-NOC Finish in LA
Wood grain is far and away the most-requested DI-NOC finish in Los Angeles commercial spaces. It adds warmth, texture, and a high-end, designed feel that customers and employees respond to — at a fraction of the cost of real wood paneling.
As a 3M Authorized DI-NOC dealer licensed and insured since 1994, we install factory-grade wood grain finishes that look convincingly real, even up close.
Applications
Wood grain DI-NOC works beautifully across commercial environments:
- Restaurant walls and wainscoting
- Hotel lobbies
- Retail store fixtures
- Office reception desks
- Elevator cabs
- Interior doors
Real Project: Habit Burger Wainscoting
We installed wood grain DI-NOC wainscoting across the dining area of a Habit Burger restaurant. The finish achieved the warmth of real wood paneling at a fraction of the cost, with zero demolition — the dining room was transformed without a lengthy renovation.
Available Wood Species & Finishes
3M's DI-NOC wood grain library spans dozens of realistic species and tones, including oak, walnut, teak, maple, and bamboo patterns — in matte, satin, and textured grains.
DI-NOC Wood Grain vs Real Wood Paneling
Compared to solid wood paneling, DI-NOC wins on cost, speed, maintenance, and flexibility: it installs in days, costs far less, never needs refinishing, and can be removed or updated when your space evolves.
How Installation Works
Our process is straightforward: surface preparation and cleaning, precise film application, heat-forming around edges and contours, and final trimming and finishing for a seamless, built-in look.
