Stained-glass film: masterpieces of art on new technologies

Perhaps, any person will agree that stained-glass windows will look very impressive in a modern apartment. However, for all its beauty and sophistication, this type of decoration by its price immediately scares off even a person with an average income. Meanwhile, thanks to modern technology, there is an alternative solution that can decorate any masterpiece with a real masterpiece - stained glass.

The classical technique applied in the creation of world-famous masterpieces of stained glass art is imitated with film stained glass so skillfully that at first glance it is absolutely impossible to detect a difference. This is the first advantage of this method. And the second - acceptable, in comparison with the cost of this stained glass, the price combined with a guarantee of high quality.

Each stained glass composition begins with a sketch developed by the artist. Based on the sketch, a ready-made scheme with a color solution of the composition is created, which is transferred to a glass or mirror surface. Stained-glass film is superimposed on this surface by a master who constantly checks his actions with the scheme and removes excess films. Often the drawing on both sides of the glass is complemented by a lead tape band that simulates the solder joint (so-called broach) used in classic stained glass windows. This makes the film stained glass even more indistinguishable from the present - the team.

Such decorative elements can be decorated with windows, niches, doors, partitions, furniture facades, suspended ceilings. Even uneven and rounded surfaces are subject to the method, which makes the interior more exotic. In all cases, a self-adhesive transparent stained-glass film is used, matte or opaque, with or without a pattern, imitating both a complete composition and its individual elements.

Until now, there is an opinion that film stained glass windows are not worth doing, because they are faster than interior decorations, will become worthless. This opinion is completely mistaken. Stained glass film on the windows is made of high-quality polyester, protected from the effects of ultraviolet radiation and high humidity, so it does not threaten fading, flaking or caving. And since the film stained glass covers a single sheet of glass, its strength is the same as that of a glass of "bezvitrazhnogo." They weigh the same, because the thin film does not add weight to the glass.

In addition to the aesthetic, the stained glass film fulfills one more function: it increases the strength of the glass substrate to which it is glued. If it breaks, the fragments will be held in place. In the case of tempered or acrylic glass, its strength will increase by an order of magnitude.

The substance used in the self-adhesive film quickly bonds the substrate to the surface. And so strong that the film material is almost impossible to peel off the glass. If the elements of the stained - glass window are still separated, do not grieve. Competent specialists will always be able to quickly and accurately carry out repairs at home: they will find the film of the desired shade and restore the original pattern.

Film stained glass perfectly harmonize with any interior: living room, hallway, kitchen, study, nursery. They are durable and reliable, easy to install, and caring for them is simple. Stained glass film will allow you to choose any picture for execution. It's a pity that he will not be happy for you for a relatively short time, 10-15 years. What can you do? The classical stained-glass window is much more durable ...
