Decorative Window Film: The Basics

Window Coverings
Decorative window film is a very thin sheet of vinyl that will transform just about any plain old window into something worth a second glance. It is an affordable way to brighten up a room while simultaneously creating a diffuse, ambient light. Decorative window film is available in many different styles and colors; it is perfect for those looking for an inexpensive and attractive accent that is sure to be noticed.
Styles of Decorative Window Film
Though you're sure to find a wide variety of designs, window film that mimics actual decorative glass is the most prominent. Film that has the appearance of stained glass or etched glass is very popular because of its traditional and classic aesthetic. Having a stained glass or etched glass windowpane installed could add up to big bucks and, unless you're happy to throw that money away, the results are permanent. With decorative window film, if you don't like what you see after a year or two, it is easily removed (plus, you didn't spend an arm and a leg putting it there in the first place).
Etched and stained glass are not the only options available, however. People with a taste for flare might consider window film that looks like a mural or painting. There are even textured films that are designed to have the look and feel of block glass (another pretty penny if you wanted to have it installed).
Window Film for Privacy
One of the most attractive reasons to install decorative window film actually has very little to do with decoration. In spaces where you don't want the outside looking in, many window films are designed to not only look good, but to provide privacy as well.
One place where the need for privacy truly comes into play is the bathroom. For a fraction of the price of installing frosted glass, you can frost your own bathroom windows. Since window film is made for moisture resistance, you're sure to have the privacy you need for as long as you want.

  1. Just like an ordinary window treatment, window films reduce the heat entering your building through the glass. They reduce glare coming from sunrays, which do have the potential to destroy fabrics over time. It thus, increases the life of your furniture. There are also specialty films that are designed to add security and protection against bomb damage, theft, and natural disasters.
