Have Stained Glass In Your Home …Almost
Really there are few things that can exceed the stunning beauty of an old church’s stained glass windows. Taking photos of these settings was the only way the “common person” would be able to enjoy the magnificence of these windows in the past.
Today, there’s a modern equivalent of stained glass windows that is widely available and ready to be installed instantly in your own home. Stained glass window film is a new way to add beauty, privacy, and energy efficiency to your home all in a single afternoon.
This film is an adhesive free overlay that can be applied to your existing windows relatively quickly using only a simple cutting tool and some water. It adheres to the window because of static energy and remains in place for as long as you decide.
Many times, their are more patterns to choose from than you can decide on! I find it helpful to consider your current decor in the room that you are decorating, then try to find the pattern that matches that color scheme. If you do the process in reverse…meaning looking at all the available patterns in the marketplace, everything starts looking the same and it gets confusing.
Besides adding beauty and class to your door sidelights, alley windows, etc. window film can add privacy and energy efficiency. Many of the modern day films can block UV radiation and reflect some of the suns’ heat. The less heat that enters your home, the less you need to run your Air conditioning, thus saving you money.
In summary, while you may not have the money or experience to create a stunning stained glass masterpiece in your own home, you can still enjoy the beauty and style that stained glass provides for much less money. Consider stained glass window film and see if its the right fit for your lifestyle.
