By printing onto optically clear film, The Window Film recreated a stunning run of intricate graphics for a premises based at Luton airport. It was decided that the manifestation should take the form of a sketched-effect London skyline and it was agreed that the best way of reproducing the graphics would be to print the design using a frosted effect onto optically clear film.

By printing on and installing optically clear film, only the printed area is visible, giving the impressive impression of a cut graphic.

The Window Film Company was involved in the creation of an eye-catching exhibition at a prominent London gallery. The project involved the installation of coloured film to three large panes of glass, providing the backdrop to an exhibition by up and coming star of the London fashion scene, Molly Goddard.

The transparent nature of the film means that while the appearance of the glass is changed, the view from both sides of the glass is maintained.

This two storey premises features a predominantly glass front elevation and while the glazing provided welcome natural light and a view to the exterior, it also resulted in excess glare, making the internal environment unduly uncomfortable.

An external application was required as no internal access was available, with the chosen film reducing glare by up to 77% whilst allowing good levels of natural light to pass through the glass and without blocking the view to the exterior.
