Sky Pods are upcycled spaces made from decommissioned aircraft and created by Mike Hyde. Elements of the aircraft are renovated to satisfy various functions, from living and lounging to workspaces. One of the challenges in creating Sky Pods is the need to transform the previous aircraft's lack of color and design into a modernized space with appropriate finishes and materials. Thus, the 3M™ DI-NOC ™ Architectural Finishes are used throughout the pods to ensure a high-end aesthetic while maintaining key functional benefits such as easy maintenance and durability.
DI-NOC ™ Architectural Finishes Benefits
3M™'s architectural finishes are applied on both exterior and interior areas of the Sky Pods. Interior finishes such as Earth, Suede, and Metallic give the Sky Pod a sophisticated contemporary look that is inviting to guests, creating a cozy feeling. On the exterior, sleek colors like Dry Wood and Fine Wood completely transform Sky Pod into a striking architectural assembly.
In addition to these design benefits, 3M™ DI-NOC ™ Architectural Finishes provide significant material and functional benefits including:
- Easy installation methods allow a fast application with less likelihood of construction errors or material waste
- The adhesive is easy to clean and maintenance-free
- Powerful 3M Comply™ Adhesive Technology creates a strong bond with any surface and ensures increased durability
- Lightweight material reduces labor and material costs
