In the world of interior and exterior decoration, solid wood has long been revered as the gold standard of texture and elegance. Its unique grain patterns, warm tactile feel, and natural luster have made it a favorite for high-end homes, luxury hotels, and premium commercial spaces for decades. However, the scarcity of high-quality wood resources, high production costs, and inherent defects such as easy warping, cracking, and moth damage have long plagued the decoration industry. Just as the market was seeking a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative, Wood Grain PVC Decorative Film emerged from being a "cheap substitute" to a leader of the simulation aesthetics revolution. Today, this innovative material not only achieves "false but true" effects that are indistinguishable from real wood but also surpasses solid wood in terms of durability, environmental protection, and versatility, redefining the value criteria of decorative materials.
Jiangmen Xiete New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., formerly known as Guangzhou SHQ Adhesive Products Co., Ltd. founded in 2004, has been at the forefront of this revolution. Located in Jiangmen City, adjacent to Guangzhou, the company has focused on the R&D, production, and sales of various PVC decorative film materials for nearly 20 years. Among its diverse product portfolio—including A2 and B1 flame-retardant series, elevator metal wire drawing series, outdoor film series, and more—the science and technology wood grain series stands out as a flagship product. With its commitment to "product quality as the life of the enterprise and innovation as the source of the enterprise," Xiete's SHQ and Kinnard brands have become trusted names in the industry, serving as designated material suppliers for Aucma and Philips, and providing comprehensive exhibition hall materials for Haier, Midea, Hisense, Skyworth, Gree, TCL, and other well-known enterprises. "The essence of the simulation aesthetics revolution is not to copy nature, but to inherit and surpass it," said a senior R&D engineer at Xiete. "Our PVC Wood Effect Film is the result of integrating advanced materials science and digital aesthetics, which allows people to enjoy the beauty of wood without relying on scarce natural resources."
Against the backdrop of global emphasis on sustainable development and circular economy, the market demand for environmentally friendly and high-performance decorative materials is experiencing explosive growth. According to the "Global and China PVC Decorative Film Industry Report 2025" released by Market Research Future, the global market size of Decorative Wood Film reached 12.8 billion US dollars in 2024, with an annual growth rate of 18.5%. China, as the world's largest producer and consumer of decorative materials, accounts for 42% of the global market share. Among them, modern simulation wood grain PVC film products, driven by technological breakthroughs, have seen a year-on-year growth rate of over 25%, becoming the fastest-growing segment in the decorative film industry. This growth trend not only reflects the market's recognition of the performance advantages of wood grain PVC film but also signifies a profound change in the decoration industry's aesthetics and resource concept.
1. Technological Evolution History: Comparison of Three Generations of Wood Grain Films
The transformation of wood grain PVC film from a low-cost alternative to a high-end decorative material is not an overnight achievement but a result of three generations of technological iterations, each solving key pain points and pushing the boundaries of simulation effects. From the initial simple printing to the current digital 3D embossing, each generation of technology has brought a qualitative leap in texture, touch, and durability.
1.1 The First Generation: Simple Printing Film (2000s-2010s) – The Era of "Shallow Simulation"
The first generation of wood grain PVC film, which dominated the market in the early 2000s to 2010s, was mainly produced using simple roller printing technology. The core process involved printing wood grain patterns on the surface of PVC films through pre-made printing rollers. At that time, this product was mainly positioned as a low-cost substitute for solid wood, targeting mid-to-low-end decoration markets such as affordable housing and small commercial stores. However, the technological limitations of this generation of products were obvious: the wood grain patterns were single and repetitive, lacking the natural randomness of real wood; the surface was flat without any texture, and the tactile feel was completely different from that of solid wood; the printing ink was of low quality, which was prone to fading and discoloration after long-term use. "At that time, customers bought this kind of Faux Wood PVC Decorative Membrane purely for cost savings," recalled an industry veteran who has been engaged in the decorative material business for 15 years. "Everyone knew it was a 'fake' wood grain. It could only meet the basic decorative needs but had nothing to do with aesthetics. Most high-end projects would never consider using it."
During this period, Jiangmen Xiete New Materials (then Guangzhou SHQ Adhesive Products Co., Ltd.) had just entered the PVC decorative film industry. Its first-generation wood grain film products mainly focused on solving the basic problems of pattern clarity and adhesion. Although limited by the technological level of the time, the company laid a solid foundation in raw material selection and production process control, which laid the groundwork for subsequent technological upgrades.
1.2 The Second Generation: Embossed Printing Film (2010s-2018) – The Era of "Semi-Simulation"
With the improvement of market demand for decorative effects, the second generation of wood grain PVC film, represented by embossed printing technology, emerged around 2010. This generation of products made a key breakthrough in tactile simulation: on the basis of roller printing, an embossing process was added. The printing roller and embossing roller were synchronized, so that the surface of the PVC film could form a concave-convex texture corresponding to the wood grain pattern. This technological upgrade made the product have a certain tactile feel, which was a big step forward compared with the first-generation flat film. At the same time, the quality of printing ink was also improved, and the color fastness and durability were significantly enhanced.
The second-generation Interior Decorative Film expanded its application scenarios to mid-range residential decoration, chain hotels, and office spaces. However, it still had obvious shortcomings in simulation effects: the embossed texture was relatively shallow and uniform, lacking the three-dimensional sense of real wood grain; the pattern library was still limited, and the randomness of the patterns was not enough; the matching degree between the pattern and the texture was not high, and there was a sense of "disconnection" when touched. In addition, the PVC base material of this generation of products was relatively thick, and the processability was poor, making it difficult to apply to curved surfaces and complex-shaped workpieces.
1.3 The Third Generation: Digital 3D Simulation Film (2018-Present) – The Era of "Hyper-Realism"
Since 2018, with the integration of digital technology, 3D scanning technology, and advanced embossing technology, the third generation of wood grain PVC film has entered the era of "hyper-realism". This generation of products has achieved a comprehensive breakthrough in pattern simulation, tactile feel, and performance, completely changing the market's perception of wood grain PVC film. The core change is that the production process no longer relies on pre-made printing and embossing rollers, but uses digital scanning technology to collect the grain patterns and texture data of high-quality solid wood (such as teak, oak, walnut, etc.) in full detail, and then uses digital printing and 3D variable embossing technology to reproduce the data on the PVC film.
The third-generation Wood Grain PVC Decorative Film has three major characteristics that make it "indistinguishable from real wood": first, the pattern is highly realistic, with the same natural randomness as real wood, and there is no repetitive pattern even in a large area of paving; second, the tactile feel is completely consistent with real wood, with the concave-convex texture of wood grain, burls, and even growth marks accurately reproduced; third, the color is rich and layered, with the same luster and color gradient as real wood. More importantly, this generation of products has overcome the inherent defects of solid wood and achieved performance surpassing solid wood in terms of environmental protection, durability, and processability. It is precisely this generation of products that has pushed wood grain PVC film into the high-end decoration market, completing the transformation from a "cheap substitute" to a "high-end decorative material".
2. Core Technology Revealed: The Secret Behind Hyper-Realism and Performance Surpassing
The hyper-realistic effect and excellent performance of modern wood grain PVC film are not accidental, but the result of the integration of multiple core technologies. Jiangmen Xiete New Materials, as a leader in the industry, has accumulated a wealth of technical experience in the R&D and production of wood grain PVC film. Its third-generation science and technology wood grain series products integrate five core technologies, which are the key to achieving "false but true" and surpassing solid wood.
2.1 High-Precision 3D Wood Grain Scanning Technology
The foundation of hyper-realistic simulation is the accurate acquisition of wood grain data. Xiete uses high-precision 3D laser scanning equipment with a resolution of up to 0.01mm to scan high-quality natural wood. This equipment can not only collect the two-dimensional pattern of wood grain but also record the three-dimensional tactile data of wood grain, such as the depth of grain grooves, the height of texture protrusions, and even the subtle unevenness caused by wood growth. During the scanning process, the R&D team selects mature and high-quality wood from different regions and tree species to ensure that the scanned data has rich natural characteristics. After scanning, the data is processed and optimized through professional software to remove noise and redundant information, forming a high-precision wood grain digital model. This model is the "blueprint" for subsequent production, ensuring that the final product can reproduce the natural texture of wood in every detail.
Unlike the traditional roller printing which uses fixed patterns, the 3D scanning technology enables the PVC Wood Effect Film to have infinite pattern randomness. When producing large rolls of film, the digital printing system will randomly call different parts of the wood grain digital model, ensuring that there is no obvious repetition even in a large area of paving, which is exactly the natural effect of real wood. "We have established a large-scale wood grain digital library covering more than 100 kinds of high-quality wood species from around the world," said the technical director of Xiete. "Each wood grain in the library is scanned from real wood, which is the basis for our products to achieve hyper-realism."
2.2 Digital Inkjet Printing with Nano Pigments
On the basis of high-precision digital models, digital inkjet printing technology with nano pigments is used to realize the accurate reproduction of wood grain colors. Compared with traditional roller printing, digital inkjet printing has the advantages of high color precision, rich color layers, and strong randomness. Xiete uses imported nano-scale environmentally friendly pigments, which have the characteristics of high color saturation, strong light resistance, and good weather resistance. These pigments can accurately reproduce the subtle color differences and gradients of real wood, such as the transition from light to dark in wood grain, the luster of wood surface, and even the slight color changes caused by light and shadow.
In addition, the digital inkjet printing system can adjust the color and pattern in real time according to customer needs, realizing personalized customization of wood grain. For example, for customers who prefer European-style decoration, the system can adjust the wood grain color to a warmer and darker tone; for customers who like modern simple style, it can provide lighter and brighter wood grain colors. This flexibility is difficult to achieve with traditional solid wood and printing technologies. At the same time, the nano pigments used are non-toxic and environmentally friendly, meeting international environmental protection standards, ensuring that the Decorative Wood Film does not release formaldehyde or other harmful substances during use.
2.3 3D Variable Frequency Embossing Technology
If digital printing solves the "visual simulation" problem, then 3D variable frequency embossing technology solves the "tactile simulation" problem. This technology is the core of modern wood grain PVC film's ability to achieve "false but true" tactile feel. Unlike traditional fixed embossing rollers, Xiete's 3D variable frequency embossing system uses a flexible embossing roller that can adjust the embossing depth and pressure in real time according to the wood grain digital model. During the embossing process, the system synchronizes the digital printing pattern and the embossing action, so that every part of the film's surface has a concave-convex texture that perfectly matches the wood grain pattern.
The embossing depth of the 3D variable frequency embossing system can reach 0.1-0.5mm, which is exactly the range of the tactile texture of real wood. When touching the Faux Wood PVC Decorative Membrane produced by this technology, people can clearly feel the ups and downs of the wood grain, just like touching real wood. What's more, this technology can also reproduce the unique textures of different wood species, such as the dense and shallow grain of oak, the deep and wide grain of teak, and the irregular burl texture of walnut. This level of tactile simulation is a qualitative leap compared with the second-generation embossed products.
2.4 Environmentally Friendly PVC Base Material Modification Technology
The base material is the guarantee of the performance of wood grain PVC film. Xiete uses high-quality medical-grade PVC resin as the base material and modifies it through a special formula. The modified PVC base material has the advantages of light weight, thin thickness, good flexibility, and high strength. Compared with traditional PVC materials, it has better environmental performance, no formaldehyde, no heavy metals, and meets the EU REACH and ROHS standards. This makes the Interior Decorative Film suitable for sensitive environments such as hospitals, kindergartens, and bedrooms.
In addition, the modified PVC base material has excellent weather resistance and durability. It can resist high temperature, low temperature, humidity, and UV radiation, and is not prone to warping, cracking, or discoloration. In contrast, solid wood is easily affected by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, leading to deformation and cracking. The modified base material also has good processability, which can be directly applied to the surface of various substrates (such as wood-based panels, metal, glass, etc.) and can be bent and pasted on curved surfaces, greatly expanding the application scope of the product.
2.5 Multi-Layer Coating Protection Technology
To further enhance the durability and service life of the product, Xiete adds a multi-layer coating on the surface of the wood grain PVC film. The coating system includes a primer layer, a color layer, a wear-resistant layer, and an anti-fouling layer. The primer layer enhances the adhesion between the base material and the color layer; the color layer enhances the color saturation and uniformity; the wear-resistant layer is made of high-hardness polyurethane material, with a wear-resistant coefficient of up to 4000 revolutions, which is much higher than the wear-resistant performance of solid wood (usually 1000-2000 revolutions); the anti-fouling layer has a super-hydrophobic and oleophobic effect, which can easily wipe off stains such as oil, coffee, and ink, and is easy to clean and maintain.
The multi-layer coating technology not only improves the durability of the Wood Grain PVC Decorative Film but also enhances its scratch resistance and impact resistance. In practical applications, the film can withstand the friction of daily use and the impact of small objects without being easily damaged. This performance advantage makes it particularly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hotels, shopping malls, and exhibition halls.

6.1 Case 1: High-End Residential Decoration Project – Achieving Luxury Style with Low Cost
A high-end residential community in Shenzhen launched a hardcover room project, requiring the interior decoration to have a European luxury style, with a focus on the use of wood grain elements. The developer initially planned to use solid oak for the TV background walls, wardrobes, and floor skirting lines, but faced three problems: first, the cost of solid oak was too high, which would exceed the decoration budget; second, the supply of high-quality oak was unstable, which might delay the construction period; third, the solid oak was prone to deformation in the humid climate of Shenzhen, affecting the quality of the hardcover rooms.
After communicating with Xiete's technical team, the developer decided to use Xiete's high-end oak grain PVC decorative film as a substitute for solid oak. Xiete's team provided a personalized solution: according to the developer's European luxury style positioning, they selected a deep-colored oak grain pattern with a strong three-dimensional texture; the thickness of the film was 0.3mm, which ensured the tactile feel and durability; at the same time, the film was enhanced with moisture-proof and anti-mildew performance to adapt to the local climate.
The final effect was remarkable: the decoration effect of the hardcover rooms was completely consistent with the expected European luxury style, and the wood grain texture was indistinguishable from real oak. The cost of using PVC film was only 1/4 of that of solid oak, saving the developer more than 2 million yuan in decoration costs. The construction period was shortened by 30% due to the easy installation of the film. After one year of delivery, the decoration film in the residential units remained intact without any deformation, discoloration, or delamination, and the owner satisfaction rate reached 98%.
6.2 Case 2: Chain Hotel Renovation Project – Balancing Durability and Aesthetics
A well-known chain hotel brand carried out a comprehensive renovation of its 50-storey hotel in Shanghai. The hotel's original decoration used a lot of wood veneer, which had problems such as serious wear, fading, and delamination after 8 years of use. The hotel management hoped that the renovated decoration could maintain the warm and comfortable style of the original wood grain, while improving durability and reducing maintenance costs. In addition, the renovation needed to be completed within 2 months to minimize the impact on business.
Xiete provided the hotel with a solution using PVC Wood Effect Film. Based on the hotel's original wood grain style, the company customized a matching walnut grain film. The film's surface was coated with a high-hardness wear-resistant layer and an anti-fouling layer, which could withstand the frequent friction of hotel guests. The flame-retardant grade of the film reached B1 level, meeting the fire safety requirements of hotels. In terms of installation, Xiete sent a professional team to guide the construction, and the film was directly pasted on the original substrate, avoiding the complicated process of removing the original wood veneer.
The renovation project was completed in only 45 days, 15 days ahead of schedule. The renovated hotel rooms and public areas maintained the warm style of the original wood grain, and the new film was brighter and more textured. After one year of operation, the film showed no obvious wear or fading, and the maintenance cost was only 10% of that of the original wood veneer. The hotel manager said: "The wood grain PVC film not only meets our aesthetic and durability requirements but also greatly shortens the renovation period and reduces costs. We plan to use Xiete's products in the renovation of other hotels in the chain."

7.1 More Intelligent Simulation: Integrating Sensing Technology
The future Wood Grain PVC Decorative Film will integrate more intelligent technologies, such as pressure sensing, temperature sensing, and light sensing. For example, the film can change its color and luster according to the change of ambient light, simulating the effect of real wood under different light conditions; the pressure-sensitive film can sense the touch of human hands and make subtle texture changes, further enhancing the tactile simulation effect. In addition, the intelligent film can also be connected to the smart home system, realizing functions such as automatic cleaning and maintenance reminders. Xiete's R&D team has already started research in this field and plans to launch the first generation of intelligent wood grain PVC film within 3 years.
7.2 Multi-Functional Integration: Beyond Decoration
Future wood grain PVC film will no longer be limited to decorative functions but will integrate more practical functions, such as heat insulation, sound insulation, energy saving, and anti-electromagnetic radiation. For example, the film with heat insulation function can be used in building exterior walls and windows, reducing indoor energy consumption while maintaining the wood grain aesthetic; the sound insulation film can be applied to interior walls and doors, improving the sound insulation effect of the space. Xiete is currently developing a wood grain PVC film with integrated heat insulation and sound insulation functions, which is expected to be applied to high-end residential and commercial projects.
7.3 Greener and More Sustainable: Developing Bio-Based PVC Materials
Under the background of global carbon neutrality, the environmental performance of decorative materials will be paid more and more attention. The future Faux Wood PVC Decorative Membrane will use more environmentally friendly and sustainable raw materials, such as bio-based PVC resin made from renewable resources (such as corn starch and sugarcane). This kind of bio-based PVC material has the same performance as traditional PVC but can reduce carbon emissions by more than 50% during the production process. In addition, the recyclability of the film will also be improved, realizing the closed-loop utilization of resources. Xiete has established a special R&D project for bio-based PVC materials and is committed to launching environmentally friendly products that meet the requirements of circular economy.
7.4 More Precise Customization: Based on Digital Twin Technology
With the application of digital twin technology, the customization of wood grain PVC film will become more precise and efficient. Manufacturers can build a digital twin model of the customer's decoration space, and simulate the effect of different wood grain films in the space through the model, helping customers make more accurate choices. During the production process, the digital twin system can realize real-time synchronization between the physical production process and the digital model, ensuring that the customized products are completely consistent with the design plan. Xiete is actively promoting the application of digital twin technology in its production and customization process, aiming to improve the customization efficiency and effect.
FAQ: Common Questions About Wood Grain PVC Decorative Film
Q1: Is Wood Grain PVC Decorative Film environmentally friendly? Will it release harmful substances such as formaldehyde?
A1: High-quality Wood Grain PVC Decorative Film represented by Xiete's products is very environmentally friendly and will not release harmful substances such as formaldehyde. The film uses medical-grade PVC resin as the base material and nano-scale environmentally friendly pigments, which meet the EU REACH and ROHS standards. The formaldehyde emission is far lower than the national E0 standard (≤0.01mg/m³). In contrast, solid wood and wood veneer may release formaldehyde due to the use of adhesives during processing. Therefore, wood grain PVC film is a more environmentally friendly choice for interior decoration, especially suitable for sensitive environments such as hospitals, kindergartens, and bedrooms.
Q2: How is the durability of PVC Wood Effect Film? Can it be used in high-traffic commercial spaces?
A2: The durability of modern PVC Wood Effect Film is very excellent, completely meeting the use requirements of high-traffic commercial spaces. Taking Xiete's products as an example, the surface of the film is coated with a high-hardness wear-resistant layer, and the Taber abrasion test can reach more than 4000 revolutions, which is much higher than the wear-resistant performance of solid wood (1500-2000 revolutions). In addition, the film has good moisture resistance, flame retardancy, and scratch resistance, and can withstand the frequent friction and collision in commercial spaces such as hotels, shopping malls, and exhibition halls. The service life of the film in indoor environments can reach 15-20 years, which is longer than that of solid wood and traditional decorative materials.
Q3: Is the installation of Decorative Wood Film complicated? Can it be pasted on curved surfaces?
A3: The installation of Decorative Wood Film is very simple and efficient, much easier than the installation of solid wood and wood veneer. The film can be directly pasted on various substrates (such as wood-based panels, metal, glass, etc.) after simple surface treatment, without complicated processes such as cutting and polishing. For curved surfaces, modern wood grain PVC film has good flexibility, and the minimum bending radius can reach 5mm, which can be easily pasted on curved surfaces such as round tables, cylindrical columns, and elevator cars. It should be noted that the installation needs to be carried out by professional construction personnel to ensure the flatness and firmness of the pasting. Xiete provides on-site installation guidance services to help customers solve installation problems.
Q4: Can Faux Wood PVC Decorative Membrane be customized according to personal needs? What are the customization ranges?
A4: Yes, Faux Wood PVC Decorative Membrane can be fully customized according to personal needs. Xiete provides a comprehensive personalized customization service, covering four major ranges: pattern customization, color customization, thickness customization, and performance customization. In terms of pattern customization, customers can choose from a large number of wood grain patterns in the company's digital library, or provide their own wood grain samples for scanning and reproduction; in terms of color customization, the company can accurately match the color according to the customer's color sample; in terms of thickness customization, the thickness can be adjusted between 0.15mm and 0.5mm according to the application scenario; in terms of performance customization, the company can enhance functions such as flame retardancy, moisture resistance, antibacterial, and UV resistance according to special needs.
Q5: How to maintain Wood Grain PVC Decorative Film in daily use? What should I do if it is scratched or stained?
A5: The daily maintenance of Wood Grain PVC Decorative Film is very simple. For general stains, you can directly wipe them with a damp cloth; for stubborn stains such as oil and ink, you can wipe them with a cloth dipped in a small amount of neutral detergent, and then clean them with clean water. It should be avoided to use corrosive cleaning agents (such as strong acid and strong alkali) to prevent damage to the film surface. For minor scratches, you can use a special repair agent for PVC film to repair them; for serious damage, you can cut the damaged part and paste a new film, which is convenient and quick. In daily use, it is only necessary to avoid sharp objects scratching the film surface, and no special maintenance measures are required.
