Use a hobby knife to cut your own design into one of our films! For a thicker or more decorative film, sketch out a design on tracing paper then convert it into a stencil to trace the design, or use a shadow box to transfer it onto film. Or, use a white or light colored design-free film like our Solyx clear sand blast film and simply place the sketch under the film to trace directly on top of it. Using a precision knife, carefully cut along the outlines of your pattern, being careful not to tug or stretch the film. Prep the surface, carefully peel off the release liner, and admire your unique custom window film, a piece of art that enhances privacy while allowing natural light to filter through softly. Consider creating landscapes, geometric shapes, or even abstract art, making the window a focal point that truly reflects your personal style and creativity. Pictured: SX-1002 Clear Sand Blast

To enhance the appearance of a plain framed window, consider transforming it into a stunning stained glass feature. To achieve an antique stained-glass window effect, you can use a variety of different colored films for each framed pane while strategically leaving a few clear panes to create visual balance. For an added layer of visual interest and historical accuracy, consider utilizing Solyx Antique Glass for the clear panes, as this will produce a wavy glass effect that mirrors the glass finishes commonly found in the early 20th century. This attention to detail will result in a beautiful and authentic stained glass appearance that is sure to impress.

Instead of applying film to fill an entire window pane, consider trimming along the design to add dimension and interest to the installed window film. Before applying, delicately trim along the edges of the design with a hobby knife. This ingenious technique not only adds a personal touch to your window but also turns the film into a custom decorative piece that adds character and enhances privacy. The end result? A one-of-a-kind look tailored to your tastes and privacy requirements. Pictured: SX-3141 Dusted Leaf

A popular design trend in mid-20th-century window design was the use of leaded picture windows. These colorless stained glass windows feature a diamond pattern made up of dozens of pieces of clear glass. While it's a desirable feature for many renters and homeowners, it can look outdated and does not offer the same privacy as colored glass. You can update the windows to match your décor style by using opaque or optically clear colored films, cut to size and installed in each individual framed piece of glass. Leaving a few clear panes will provide a balanced look and added authenticity. With more than 70 colors to choose from and products sold by the foot, not by the roll, it's easy to get exactly the amount you need, and find the perfect color scheme to match your style. To add extra flair, you can match the colors with nearby flowering plants for a stunning visual effect during the blooming season.

Who said film could only be used on glass? Design firm MSR Design used several feet of our DicroFrost film to create a one-of-a-kind dress for the 2024 IIDA Fusion & Fashion Show. The creative and captivating design, featuring unique face coverings and a flowing thread-like dress (shown on the right), won the show's coveted "Cyberpunk Award."

In the 1980s, it seemed like every bathroom had a huge wall-sized mirror. While this design made the space feel larger, it limited renovation options. An affordable alternative to replacing the entire mirror is to order a piece of film large enough to cover it and create a frame around the glass. This is a simple, inexpensive way to update the space without the trouble of replacing the entire mirror. It can also cover up any dings, cracks, or stress fractures that might appear over time in the corners or edges. Pictured: SX-SC563 Overlays
