- What
are specialty films?
- Specialty films,
which are also known as decorative films, graphic films, designer films
and frosted films, are for designer and privacy applications. Some films
mimic acid etched or sandblasted glass (in white, grey and bronze
colouring) while others block out light and the view (in white, black and
silver).
-
- DecoFilms are
similar to specialty films but are pre-patterned. They are available in
White Ribbon (thick or thin), Black Blocks and Ice Cubes.
-
- Colour Graphic Films are available in
five colours: Kelly Green, True Blue, Cherry Red, Fire Red and Sunburst
Yellow.
- How
are specialty and graphic films installed?
- Specialty And Graphic Films are installed by
professional dealers using a water and soap based solution. Specialty and
Graphic films can be hand cut or can be cut by computer for patterns and
logos to produce spectacular results. With or without the use of
computers, company logos, sign writings and unique designs are only
limited to your imagination.

Where and
why are specialty and graphic films installed?
Specialty and Graphic films are ideally
suited for applications that require day or night privacy without
sacrificing natural light levels in both commercial and residential
applications.
Commercial applications are found in banks,
restaurants, health clubs, hotel foyers, conference rooms and office
partitioning.
All over Canada offices and commercial
buildings are dramatically increasing the use of internal glass walls as
partitioning. This brings natural light into offices creating greater work
productivity, as well as the illusion of more space while offering
privacy.
Residential applications include solariums,
bathrooms, entry doors and sidelights, etc..
Why
specialty and graphic film?
Architects and designers have accepted the
finished product enthusiastically. Decorative film is no longer seen as a
problem-solving product; instead it has become an integral part of the
design and construction processes. Many new building projects are
specifying Sun-Gard Specialty and Graphic Film and DECOfilm film patterns.
The film's theme normally continues throughout the office area and
sometimes is personalized with a corporate logo or graphic.
-
Can
specialty and graphic films be removed?
Yes. Unlike other decorative glass
processes, Specialty and Graphic Films can be removed if desired. This of
course is a huge advantage and most landlords do not object to their
tenants' installation of film when they find out the product can be
removed.
Further,
the cost of installing Specialty and Graphic Film on existing glass is low
in comparison to other processes.
