What does the decorative film on the window give
The main task of the window is to transmit light. Close it curtains or tulle - and the light in the room will become much less. But here, for example, outside your window is not a gorgeous landscape with a river and a forest, but something unattractive like a funeral home. Every day to watch this picture - not every psyche can stand it.
Or another situation - you have windows on the ground floor, and in the mornings and evenings, when it is still dark outside and you are going to work, all passers-by see you in a dressing gown and slippers in the kitchen. So a maniac of some kind will start under your windows, and there it is not far from trouble.
Window film design
And here you will find a lot of pleasant surprises. Manufacturers did not skimp on a variety of design options. Window films can be colored or transparent.
Most of the colored films imitate stained glass drawings. It can be simple mosaics or even real paintings.
Colored sheeting allows less light to pass through and colors the room in different colors, keep this in mind. But otherwise, this is a very bright and unusual window design option.
Transparencies are created according to a different principle. They represent the finest relief from transparent plastic with regular ornamentation or artistic design.
The denser the drawing, the more opaque you will get the window. On the other hand, such films on the windows look completely unobtrusive, they are neutral in relation to the interior and building facade decoration.
There is another type of window film, and it is designed to protect premises from ultraviolet rays. Mirror film reflects rays, creates partial shade in the room.
Disadvantages of window film to be aware of
To begin with, the film itself is not a cold protection, as many believe. Heat loss through glass always occurs, and the film will not help you in any way.
Another significant nuance is that under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, any window film becomes unusable over time: color - burns out, and any - cracks. You will have to change it at least once every three to five years, and here you will find a surprise that is no longer pleasant. It is not difficult to tear off the film, but it will come off in pieces, some of which literally grow together with the glass.
Important points in pasting windows with film
It only at first glance seems that it is not difficult to stick the film. If you do not put in enough effort, wrinkles and bubbles will remain, and they will definitely ruin your mood. So you only need to stick the film on a clean, grease-free surface.
If small bubbles remain, they can be removed by puncturing the film with a thin needle.
Excess material is removed with a clerical or construction knife. Professional recommendations for applying the film are given in this video:
