Design window film is a decorative film applied to glass that comes in various patterns, colors, textures, or printed designs.
It’s mainly used to enhance the look of glass surfaces while also offering privacy, branding, or light diffusion.
Think of it as a way to turn plain glass into something attractive and functional — like frosted patterns, stained glass looks, or printed graphics.
🔹 Key Features
-
Aesthetic Appeal: Comes in patterns (stripes, dots, geometric shapes), gradients, frosted styles, or even custom printed graphics.
-
Privacy Control: Many designs obscure visibility while still letting light through.
-
Custom Branding: Businesses often use it to display logos or designs on office partitions or storefronts.
-
Light Diffusion: Softens sunlight, reduces glare without making a room dark.
