What is decorative window film? What are some of the amazing ways that you can use it? Read on to find out.

What Is Decorative Window Film?

Decorative window film is made from a durable and versatile material that applies with ease to any window or flat piece of glass. Modern window film can be made to mimic any expensive glass design style that you can think of, from etched and frosted glass to colored or meticulously patterned glass.

Unlike traditional window treatments like shades and curtains, decorative window film doesn't keep all of that natural light out. Instead, it obscures the view through your windows while adding visual interest. Plus, it blocks out just enough light to reduce harmful or unpleasant amounts of UV rays.

What Are the Benefits of Decorative Film for Windows?

Why do we recommend decorative window film to any homeowner looking for an upgrade? The benefits of decorative window film are hard to beat. Don't just take our word for it--let's take a closer look at those benefits in action.

Increase Privacy and Block Unsightly Views

Big street-facing windows are great until you realize that people can see inside of them just as easily as you can see out of them. By adding decorative window films to exterior windows, you can get back the privacy you deserve. As a bonus, this works great for any interior windows or glass doors you want to obscure, as well.

Do those glass panels in your cabinet doors reveal the mess behind them? Does your kitchen window look out on your trash cans? Decorative window film is perfect for blocking the views that aren't so scenic so that your home looks and feels tidier.

Boost Your Home's Design

Windows aren't just practical features of a home. They also tend to reveal the quality, age, and overall design of a home. What if your windows don't need replacing but you're unhappy with how they look?

Colorful, matte, or frosted window films can bring your home into the 21st century. Patterned and etched window film can give your home that regal, classic feel that you prefer. Window film can boost your home's design without breaking the bank.

Lower the Glare

Natural light is one of the top features homebuyers look for when making a selection. However, they often don't think about what all of that direct light will do on a daily basis in the years to come.

Unfortunately, there is such a thing as too much sun. UV ray exposure can cause damage to our eyes and skin--plus our furniture and interior fixtures. Because decorative window film filters out some of that direct sunlight, it can make your home a safer place to live without dimming the natural light, altogether. 

Mimic Specialty Glass or Bring in a Pop of Color

Decorative film for windows is easy to customize and match to your interior design needs. We already mentioned our etched, frosted, and patterned window films. These designs can mimic expensive specialty glass that you'll find in historic or luxury homes. 

Another customizable option is our colorful window films that allow you to transform any room into a colorful oasis. Whether you're feeling the popular maximalist style or you're looking for a clean and simple way to add color to a room, you're going to love these bright-colored window films.

Create Visual Interest 

Good interior design balances everything from color and space to pattern and texture. Most of the time, when we think about texture in interior design, we think about textiles: upholstery, carpeting, throws, and pillows. What if your windows could create a texture of their own?

Natural materials like wood and stone add visual and textural interest to your home. With decorative films for windows, your windows can join in the symphony of textures, as well. The best part is that the subtle change will make your home look more unified and sophisticated without creating visual chaos.

Update Your Home With Ease

The absolute biggest benefit of decorative film for windows? They don't cost a fortune, they don't take long to install, and they're easy to remove or replace if you so choose.
