What are SOLYX® films?
SOLYX® Decorative Films come in different patterns and shades, and are easily removed and 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 number of attractive patterns.
How are SOLYX® films installed?
All SOLYX® Decorative Films have a permanent acrylic adhesive system protected by a removable release liner which must be removed prior to installation. Films are installed using a water and soap based solution. See Installation Instructions
Where and why are SOLYX® 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.Why SOLYX® film?
Architects and designers have accepted the finished product enthusiastically. Decorative film is no longer seen as a problem-solving product; instead it has become an integral part of the design and construction processes. Many new building projects are specifying SOLYX® Decorative film patterns. The film's theme normally continues throughout the office area and sometimes is personalized with a corporate logo or graphic.
Can SOLYX® films be removed?
Yes. Unlike other decorative glass processes, SOLYX® Decorative Films can be removed if desired. This of course is a huge advantage and most landlords do not object to their tenants' installation of film when they find out the product can be removed. To remove SOLYX films simply peel away the film from one corner and pull the film from the glass. Should any adhesive remain on the glass it can easily be removed with a spray of soapy water and a single edge razor blade. In addition, the cost of installing SOLYX® Decorative Films on existing glass is low in comparison to other processes.
