silikonikoristeet

Silikonikoristeet are decorative elements made primarily from silicone polymers. The term is used in Finnish contexts to describe various ornamentation products such as wall decals, stickers, figurines, and relief elements that incorporate silicone or are coated with silicone layers. Silicone is chosen for its flexibility, resistance to temperature changes, and durability compared with other conventional coatings like acrylic or epoxy.

Manufacturing of silikonikoristeet typically involves silicone molding or extrusion techniques. A mixture of polydimethylsiloxane, curing agents, and color pigments is pressed or poured into molds that are preheated to reduce viscosity. After curing, the silicone components are cleaned, trimmed, and often laminated onto adhesive backing for easy application. The finished products can be produced in a range of colours, patterns and textures, from subtle gradients to opaque, metallic finishes.

These decorations are popular for interior design, especially in modern or minimalist settings where a soft, matte appearance is preferred. They can be applied to walls, glass surfaces, or canvases, providing a non‑intrusive way to change ambience. Some designers use silikonikoristeet to create scalable thematic installations for events or commercial spaces, where the material’s flexibility allows easy removal without damaging surfaces.

Because silicone is inert and non‑allergenic, silikonikoristeet are considered safe for most installations, though the adhesives used for mounting are often tested for VOC emissions. Alternative materials, such as ceramic or polymer paint, may offer different textures or environmental benefits, but silicone remains popular for its combination of durability, ease of application, and aesthetic versatility.
