Stained glass has commonly been used in history within churches and cathedrals to beautify the windows of these places. The beautiful art work was created with many purposes in mind. They were for controlling light, decorating and for relating a story. It takes great expertise and attention to detail to create one of these masterpieces as it is necessary to ensure they fit into the spaces available.

The great craftsmanship involved is creating these works of art is very detailed. The windows were produced for different purposes. These include controlling light, telling stories or decoration. The expense of creating them is very large due to them needing to be weather resistant and fitting into the required space allowed, making them a luxury item for most.

They improve the look of your home while letting in enough light and providing privacy from the public. They add a distinctive European theme to your home as the sun's rays filter through them and display a large range of unusual shades on the floors, walls and furniture. There is such a wide variety to choose from you will certainly find something to meet your needs.

They can be customised, for example cut to the correct size, or made in the colours that suit the theme of your house. There is the static cling vinyl kind that is so simple to use. You just take off the the protective layer and paste the film to the window glass. This can be re-used, so you can remove it in winter when you need more sun and put it back on in summer if you wish to.

There is also the wet film kind which is a bit more complex to apply, but allows time to place the design. This application requires a solution of water and soap which must be sprayed on the film and window panel before pasting. If your film is not the same size as your window you can cut it to fit once it is securely fixed in its place.

Different manufacturers of of this popular product use different applications to create that sparkled look of original stained glass windows. Some use glass particles for a bit of sparkle. The top quality brands make use of special inks to manufacture the stained glass window films which have a deep and vivid rich colour appearance.

Other manufacturers produce a vinyl film that can act as an insulator for your windows, so it will provide coolness in the summer and warmth in the winter. A very practical way to use these decorative window films is to place them on a window that has a poor view. This will make it unnecessary to keep the blinds down and will allow you to look at something that is unique and beautiful.
