Colour Film Overlays

 Overlay Colour Film Glass

A versatile and more cost effective option for Stained Glass effect designs is overlay colour film. In this process coloured transparent film, much like cellophane, is applied to one side of the glass. Lead strips are then applied to both sides of the glass to give the effect of a real stained glass window. 

The stained glass film can be applied to either smooth or textured glass and can be incorporated into a high performance insulated sealed glass unit giving your home or office a unique and personal appearance.
