GETTING STARTED

 

DECORATIVE FILMS DESIGN STUDIO

HOW TO SPECIFY

When creating a custom glass film, there are three specification steps to complete before samples or a unique product code can be issued for a project specification.

01

DEFINE YOUR PROJECT SCOPE

First, we need to know the basics:

  • Project name
  • The expected square footage of material required for your project*
  • Anticipated project date

*If full glass elevations or a list of glass sizes and quantities are not available, then an approximate square footage can be used. How to measure will depend on the design type.

IDENTIFY YOUR DESIGN CATEGORY

Any vision, brought to life.

The possibilities are endless with custom Design Studio films. Add privacy where it's needed with single or dual fading gradients, create visual moments with one-of-a-kind scalable murals, or showcase a unique style with continuous patterns. 

03

CHOOSE YOUR FINISH TYPE

Experience the Design Studio difference.

Explore exclusive finishes that combine color, texture, and opacity to translate design concepts into professional custom solutions for glass. Our exceptional in-house design team provides one-on-one creative support every step of the way.

Color If you require a specific color not found on our selection charts, then we can utilize CMYK color values or, for even more accuracy, we can match commonly used industry color systems such as Pantone or paint color chips.
Opacity

When utilizing our selection charts we would need to know the opacity (identified by the code on the chart) that you have selected. If requesting a CMYK value, Pantone, or commercial paint color then we would need to know your desired level of privacy. These can be categorized as follows:

Transparent — perfectly see through
Translucent — a frosted finish that provides privacy while allowing some light to pass through (most common)
Opaque — although not 100% light blocking, this method produces the richest colors and even allows for a different color or design to be shown on opposite sides of the glass
