Stain Glass Windows In Time for Christmas

Is your church new or does not yet have stained glass windows?  Perhaps your congregation does not yet have their own building but instead rents a space as many do while grow their building fund.

New churches and temporary locations like these seldom have the money to invest in stained glass windows to give their worhsip space the warm, traditional enhancement of stain glass windows.

A good solution for this is decorative window films.  Like real stain glass they permit light flow and add color and warmth.  They also eliminate distractions from outside, particularly when you are meeting in a commercial space that may have surrounding businesses and industry.  Stain Glass window films give the look and feel of real stain glass, without the hefty price tag.  While they are a good interim measure for new buildings, they are so pretty that you may choose to leave them for the long term.

Stain glass window films can also be installed quickly compared to real stain glass, so if you are looking to add something special in time for your holiday services, now is the time to order stain glass window film!

These films are also an affordable and authentic alternative to real stained glass for Holiday Displays and Theatrical Sets.

Order Do-It-Yourself Stain Glass Window Film packages that ship across North America.  Call Apex Window Films today at (416)335-8181 or visit the website www.ApexFilms.ca

Interior Designers Choose Window Film for Affordable Window Dressing

In a recent article in the Montreal Gazette, decorator Georgia Thanos points out the interesting trend towards the use of window films for window dressing.

Thanos is quoted as saying that you must first determine the purpose of the window covering and "figure out if you want it to block out the light and how much.  Are you looking for privacy, and are you looking to add height or width to your wall"

Thanos recommends window films as an economical alternative to other window treatments or to be used in conjunction with curtains for UV blocking and protection from fading.

Thanos urges do-it-yourselfers to be true to their own sense of style.  The article quotes the decorator and owner of Deco Prassimo Design, as saying, "You also have to be true to your style and comfort, and the style of the home."

For a wide selection of decorative and UV blocking window films you can shop online from Apex Window Films at www.ApexFilms.ca.  If you  are looking for just the film to match YOUR sense of style, go where there is the best selection, go to Apex Window Film!

Winterize Your Home with Low-E Window Film

Insulate Windows Inside

In a recent article on www.TheDailyGreen.com they offered 19 Easy Home Winterization Projects to "make your home feel warmer without turning up the heat."

Tip number nine caught our interest as they suggested installing a window insulation kit (you know that plastic sheet you stick around your window and then discard in the spring) or they suggest to "Save even more by hiring a pro to install a high-tech 'low-e' film directly to the window glass."

In a related article, TheDailyGreen indicates that low-e coatings can reduce heat loss through old windows by 40% and comment that this is a great 'DIY' project.

Frankly, we couldn't agree more!

Low-E window films (short for low-emissivity) are ideal for the energy conserving home or business owner.  Not only do they reflect warm air back into the home during the winter (radiant heat) to keep heat from your furnace from escaping, They also reflect the suns heat back out in the summer reducing strain on air conditioners.  This makes low-e window films a great choice for year-round energy conservation and home comfort.

Do-it-yourselfers can order DIY low-e window films from Apex Window Films online for delivery to your door across the United States and Canada.

Fun Window Films are HERE!


Apex DIY Window Films is pleased to announce the addition of a new line of decorative window films to round out our comprehensive collection of do-it-yourself products.

DIY 'Fun Films' are a collection of decorative window film patterns at very low prices.

These patterns are in some cases more bold, whimsical, or even a little eccentric. The price point has been set so low on these products so you don't have to worry about getting tired of them! These films can be removed and replaced by another interesting 'Fun Film' pattern, a premium window film product or simply restore the window to its original clear perspective.

A great example might be a child's room--pick a window film instead of window blinds that may get tangled or have cords that dangle dangerously and pose a potential choking or strangulation hazard. Apex Fun Films are available in a variety of patterns that would provide interest as well as privacy, and can be changed if the child outgrows the pattern!

There are other potential applications for rooms throughout the home--Fun Films can reflect decorative themes in a specific room or you own personality. If your taste or decor changes they can be removed and replaced or another suitable window treatment option may be utilized.

Have a little fun with your decor! Try Apex Fun Films for window privacy or decorative enhancement.

New Look & Feel at Apex Winodw Films' Site


Apex Window Films recently changed the look and feel of the website to improve user experience. The site was getting so large, we wanted to make it easier (and faster) to get to the product you are looking for specifically.

While Apex Window Films installs window film and window and door security products throughout the Greater Toronto Area, we also sell window film across North America. Apex sells window film both wholesale and retail throughout Canada and the U.S.

Because our do-it-yourself line of window film has become so extensive, as well as our online support for our DIY customers, some wholesale, commercial, and residential installation customers in the Toronto area were becoming a little overwhelmed when they visited the site.

The solution has been to increase the speed of the site as well as using graphic navigation to help our customers quickly and easily click their way to their desired product area.

Visit ApexFilms.ca and let us know what you think! You can post your comments here in our blog so that we can better improve user experience on our site.
