Window and Glass Transfers and Window Decals

Using window film for glass stickers, window clings and window stickers

Window films for glass can be referred to in a multitude of ways, including glass transfers and window transfers. This description is accurate in a way as by adding a film to your window, you are transferring a range of effective new properties to your glass.

Window transfers for glass, or window film, can be used to deliver a number of benefits, including heat reduction, glare protection, privacy, safety and decoration. Whatever the solution you require, The Window Film Company is proud to offer a range of highly effective options.

1.      Window films and transfers for privacy

Privacy can be required in a number of situations. Perhaps your front room is visible to passers-by, maybe your bedroom is overlooked or you need an extra element of privacy in your bathroom. A popular and stylish way of creating privacy in your home is by using frosted glass window transfers. Frostbrite is The Window Film Company’s frost solution, that as the name suggests, gives glazing the appearance of acid0etched or sandblasted glass once installed. The film has been specially developed to provide a highly effective privacy solution, blocking the view from both sides of the glass, while also allowing for excellent levels of natural light transmission.

Frostbrite frosted window film also gives glass a stylish, contemporary new look, allowing you to give your windows and home a decorative flourish with the simple transfer of film onto your glass. Another benefit of this product is that it is incredibly durable and long lasting, including being resistant to water and moisture. This means it is ideal for use on bathroom or wet room windows, it will even perform when applied to shower screens.

One-way daytime privacy can be achieved with an application of reflective window film. The product works by giving the glass a mirrored external appearance during daylight hours, blocking the view in while still allowing a view from the inside out. It’s important to note that this window film works on the light balance; it’s the side of the film that is exposed to the highest light level that will display the reflective look.

2.      Modern décor window transfers

The Window Film Company offers a range of stunning patterns and designs, all intended to give your window a beautiful new decorative look. You can choose from cut patterns or white printed designs, with both decorative window options created from our Frostbrite frosted film. The cut patterns are computer cut from the film, leaving a clear area where the design is. This solution is perfect if you would like a vision panel in your window film or frosted glass window transfers. The white printed designs are printed in brilliant white ink, using state of the art print technology to deliver a beautiful, pin perfect reproduction of the pattern you choose. Both options are created to your exact size specifications, with every single order being checked and finished by hand in The Window Film Company’s in-house print and graphics department.

It’s also easy to add a touch of colour to your windows with window film. Whether you want to upgrade your glazing to feature a single colour or want to go all out and recreate a Harry Potter stained glass effect by using a range of different coloured films or transfers, then our range of rainbow window films is perfect. Available in a range of vibrant shades, the film will change the colour of your windows without blocking the view or sacrificing natural light. The perfect way of breathing fresh life into your glass.

4.      Window film for heat reduction

Left untreated, windows can allow rooms to overheat – especially in locations with a lot of glass such as conservatories or orangeries. An application of window film will help reduce the levels of excess heat that are allowed to pass through the glass, in turn stopping the build up of steady heat. This method is more effective than using curtains or blinds, as the film is applied directly to the internal face of the glass and bounces away solar energy before it can enter your home. Curtains or blinds are set back from the glass and allow heat to pass through before simply trapping it inside. In addition, drawing curtains or blinds will block the view and natural light – two benefits which are both maintained when applying solar control window film.

5.      Applying glass transfers to your window

Fitting window film is a straightforward process that can be achieved with no prior experience. Each order is supplied complete with comprehensive window film fitting instructions and a free application squeegee. We also recommend taking the time to view the step by step video fitting instructions at the bottom of each product page.

To begin the installation of your glass transfers or window vinyl, you will need to clean your window as thoroughly as possible. The cleaner your glass is, the better the installation and finish will be. Next, create a soapy water solution by adding a few drops of washing up liquid to a plant spray bottle full of water. Use the spray bottle to cover the window in the soapy solution, before removing the backing sheet from the window film and repeating the process; using the spray bottle to completely coat the exposed surface of the film with water. Then, take the film to the glass and allow it to flow into place. The soapy water will act as a slip solution, allowing you to position the film correctly, before using the application squeegee to push the water from underneath the film to the edge of the pane. Use a clean, dry cloth to mop up any excess moisture and your install is complete!
