Window Decoration Tips

Do's

• As long as the film takes up less than 50% of the surface, there is no risk of glass breakage if the window is
  heated by the sun
• Use light colours, these are less sensitive to heat
• Use transparent (sandblast effect) films and translucent films, these absorb less heat than cutting films.
• Full prints can always be used indoors (e.g. in a shopping gallery), even if it is a dark coloured print
• Apply the film on the outside, this provides more cooling options, which reduces the risk of thermal glass breakage. Especially with full prints outdoors and exposed to direct sunlight

Don'ts

• Be careful with dark colours. These absorb a lot of heat, which creates tension differences between the window and the film, causing a risk of glass breakage.
• Watch out with partly shadows, dark objects close to the glass, heating elements…
• Be careful with HR++ windows: Only cover the windows at the outside. The inside of these windows has a special coating. The effect of this coating is disrupted if you apply the film to the inside of the window.
