Today, we may know that decorative films have become more popular very rapidly, some of people may have used once and realised how decorative window films can make difference to the house. This including in terms of protecting room from strong sunlight and add privacy to people who stay behind windows and glass doors. The most common types of decorative window films that widely used are adhesive-based polyester films and adhesive-free static-vinyl films. The adhesive-based films were used in the past this could be in the form of normal paper stick on the glass panel of the window.

When we first thinking about the adhesive type, we normally think about its advantage of price, which generally cheaper than adhesive-free static-vinyl film. However, if compare to all of other element and characteristic of both type of films, you will realise that there are other advantage that adhesive-free type has more benefit of use. These benefits can be demonstrated as appearance, materials, supplies, time of installing and remove and energy saving.

However, the method of application of both films to window glass surface is quite similar. These steps are firstly clean the glass surface and make sure the surface is free from stain and dust. Remove film from backing paper then apply film to the surface. The most important process is you have to squeegee out water and air bubbles from under film and let dry.

The following detail describes about the basic characteristics of both types of films in order for you to have more idea about what the films look like so you will be able to choose proper type for home decoration. Generally the adhesive-free films are the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheets and they are available in 0.8 mm. in thickness. The adhesive-free means the film will stick to glass automatically like magnet stick on steel. Mean while the ordinary adhesive type is the polyester film that has stronger power of glue that applied to it and this cause difficulty when we want to remove, the normal adhesive type usually available in 0.2 mm. in thickness.

Although there is a huge different of both type of films, but you still be able to choose them as they have benefits, especially in terms of easy to trim size as well as easy to be applied to glass that has wet surface. The other different between the adhesive-free and normal adhesive is the adhesive-free needs water sprayed once after it has been removed from the backing paper. So this make the normal adhesive type is more difficult in terms of installation and removal.

However, a big difference between both types is obvious when we remove film form backing paper. The ordinary adhesive generally is heavier and it will hang quite straight when removed from its backing paper. There is a caution point that you have to be careful not to let the ordinary adhesive touch on the window before apply to the glass because it will easily straightened and it will lose ability to stick on the glass. However, some manufacturers have realised of this point and improve the quality so some type of ordinary adhesive still ready to apply.
