What decorative film does
Frosted film gives glass the soft look of etched glass. Light still comes through, but the view is blurred. Other decorative films add patterns or colors.
These films are chosen for looks and privacy, not for heat control.

How it is made
Inside a ThermaCore Decorative film
Decorative film layers a printed, patterned or etched-look design on polyester, then covers it with a protective coating. It adds colour or pattern without replacing the glass.
Window film starts as optical-grade polyester (PET), a clear plastic made in very thin, even sheets. Coatings are added in layers: dyes or ceramic particles, thin metal or metal-oxide layers applied in vacuum chambers, and a scratch-resistant hard coat. A pressure-sensitive adhesive and a protective liner go on the other side. The layers are laminated and cured, then slit into rolls and checked for clarity, coating evenness and defects before they ship.
Specs to ask for
Numbers that matter when you compare
Visible light
VLT is the share of visible light that passes through. Higher is clearer and brighter. Ask for the pattern name or artwork proof and how much light and privacy it provides.
Total solar energy rejected
TSER shows how much of the sun’s total energy the film blocks, including heat. Decorative film is mainly cosmetic, so confirm any heat or UV claims with the datasheet.
UV rejection
The share of ultraviolet rays blocked, which affects fading of floors, furniture and art.
Solar heat gain
Lower SHGC means less solar heat enters the room. It applies to the whole window, so ask for the film-on-glass value.
Glass compatibility
Film suits some glass better than others. We check your glass type and any maker restrictions before we quote.
What is covered
Ask for the film maker’s warranty and ours, including what each covers and for how long.
Exact figures come from the maker datasheet for the film we quote. We send the datasheet with your quote. Ask us and we will explain any number.
After install
Looking after it
Soft cloth, mild soap and a little patience in the first weeks keep this film clear for years.
Questions
Will you check my glass first?
Yes. Glass type matters, so we confirm the film suits your windows before we quote. If a film is not right for a window, we will say so.
Where do I find the exact specifications?
The manufacturer’s specification sheet for the exact film comes with your quote. We do not publish performance figures on this page, because they differ from roll to roll.
What does the warranty cover?
The warranty length is named on your quote. See our warranty page for the draft terms.
Can I use my own design?
Often yes for custom orders. Send us the artwork and we will advise.
Is it permanent?
It lasts as long as the film, and it can be removed later by a professional.
