General FAQs

WHAT ARE SOLYX® FILMS?

SOLYX® Decorative Privacy Window Films are self-adhesive films that come in different patterns and shades and are easily replaced to update the appearance at a later time. Now any flat glass surface can be turned into a work of art, be it an office, restaurant, den, bathroom or child's room. Frosted films diffuse light without appreciably cutting down the ambient light. As a result, any existing window can be converted to privacy glass in a multitude of attractive patterns.

WHERE AND WHY ARE SOLYX® FILMS INSTALLED?

SOLYX® Decorative Films are ideally suited for applications that require day or night privacy without sacrificing natural light levels in both commercial and residential applications. See Applications page. Commercial applications are found in banks, restaurants, health clubs, hotel foyers, conference rooms and office partitioning. Commercial buildings are dramatically increasing the use of internal glass walls as partitioning. This brings natural light into offices creating greater work productivity, as well as the illusion of more space while offering privacy. Residential applications include solariums, bathrooms, entry doors and sidelights, etc.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADHESIVE FREE (STATIC CLING) AND ADHESIVE FILMS?

Both Static Cling and Adhesive films are identical in installation!

SOLYX® static cling window film has a great many advantages. One of the main benefits of SOLYX® static cling film is that it can be used many more than a few times over, since it does not involve adhesives. It can be removed and installed with ease, doesn't leave behind glue residue, and can be placed on plastic, Plexiglas, and ordinary glass.

SOLYX® self-adhesive window film offers a more permanent application, ideal for high traffic areas where a more durable, longer lasting product is required. SOLYX® self-adhesive films that come in different patterns and shades are easily replaced to update the appearance at a later time.

ARE STATIC CLING FILMS REUSABLE?

Yes, all SOLYX® static cling films are fully removable and reusable.

SOLYX® adhesive backed films are fully removable, but cannot be reused after they have been removed.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VINYL AND POLYESTER?

The design determines if the film is made of Polyester or Vinyl.

Polyester: Dimensionally stable, does not stretch, provides optical clarity, and allows for wider roll widths, a "green" product.
Vinyl: Allows for heavily textured designs, more receptive to surface textures and more suitable for Plexiglas, Polycarbonate and Acrylic applications. Less optical clarity than Polyester.
