Window Film Reviews

Window film has been around for a long time, but today's home window film is not only decorative but aids in creating a more energy efficient environment. Also today's window film is not just a sticker that covers the window. Today we have the advantage of using a static cling window film that creates a warming environment plus privacy. These easy to install window treatments saves you money and creates a totally new look to your home in no time at all.

A decorative window film can give the appearance of stained glass, etched glass or frosted glass. The only tools required are a clean window, a straight edge and a cutting tool such as scissors or a utility knife. You also need an item for a squeegee, such as a credit card. For applying a larger window film an extra pair of hands may help also.

A decorative window film such as this Artscape window film can add a major decorating make over to any room. Stained glass windows have always been loved for an accent touch, but were considered too expensive.

I have a stained glass window in my front entrance way and I could not afford more than one. But I do have these window films on other windows in my home. My home is old and I have very ornate trim throughout and I hate covering up all my beautiful woodwork with heavy curtains so the window film does the job of showing off my woodwork and creating beautiful glass that lets the sunlight in.

There are several styles of stained glass window film available to purchase. They may not be stained glass or even closely resemble the real thing but they are very pretty and for a fraction of the cost. If you are under the impression that they will pass for real stained glass you would be wrong. They won't. They are what they are but beautiful all the same.

Privacy window film does exactly what it does. It creates the ultimate privacy without blocking out all the light. With the privacy window film you may still be able to see shadows or outlines of objects through the window but at the same time the objects are not defined enough to tell exactly what it is.

The privacy window film is great for when you have a nosy neighbor or live on a busy street. With the frosted window film you do not have to live in the dark behind closed drapes any more. You can live in your home and have the sunlight come through and feel comfortable knowing no one can see inside your home. The privacy window film is hung much like wall paper, where it can be seamed together to fit any width.

The etched glass window film is very beautiful in its simplicity. The etched glass is akin to the privacy window film except that you can get patterns as well with these films. In rooms where I like to keep a simple undertone I have used the etched glass window film.

I especially like these in my bathroom where I can match the shower doors with the window. My bathrooms are very stark and septic looking and the patterns on the etched glass window film adds just the right amount of definition to add a different texture.
