Faux Stained Glass Window Film

Faux Stained Glass Created With Window Films

Faux Stained Glass may sound somewhat tacky to some, conjuring up images of low-budget Las Vegas wedding chapels.  However, faux stained glass created with window film is so beautiful and realistic that it is frequently used in church sanctuaries, homes and other buildings with excellent results.

Why choose faux stained glass window film over true stained glass?  Well the first and perhaps most obvious reason is the cost.  Decorative Window Films are a fraction of the cost of real stained glass.  This is often an advantage for new churches that cannot yet afford real stained glass or in homes and buildings with very large windows.

The second compelling reason to go with stained glass window film is permanence.  Sometimes you are not sure you will enjoy the effect of stained glass or fear you may grow tired of it - window films, which can be removed without damaging the original window glass are a good option for those that would like to change the look and feel of their decor in the future without having to replace a window.  Also, they are a good option for rental properties or condominiums where a permanent glass replacement may not be an option for the resident or tenant.  Faux stained glass is also a great way to improve the ambiance of a temporary sanctuary, for example, where churches are renting a property until a permanent building is constructed.

Window films are also a great trick in scenic design.  A set designer can create faux stained glass windows with window film to easily give the impression of a church or sanctuary without a lot of extra props or background effects.
