Gradient Window Film

Window Film Gradient - Category Overview 

Glass privacy along with enhanced aesthetics can be achieved with various types of window film. However, what makes gradient window film different is that the consistency of any tinting or patterns applied to the film will vary depending on where you look.

Examples of gradients include:

 

• Diagonal gradients 
• Horizontal gradients
• Radial gradients  
• Transparent gradients 
• Vertical gradients 

 

For instance, with a radial (or centre out) gradient, much of the privacy will be located within the central portion of the glass, before gradually fading out to transparent glass towards the edge of the film. 

 

Likewise, with horizontal or vertical gradients, there is a clear linear pattern going either up and down or side to side.

Beyond the type of gradient, some styles also have patterns to provide additional privacy and style.

Typically, our gradient window films are white in colour so that the design will show up on the glass. However, some styles also feature an array of tints and colours. 

 

What Is Gradient Window Film?

Gradient window films have an alternating opacity, meaning the design gradually fades in or out at various points. 

 

The gradients can take the form of different colours, shades or transparency levels. Some gradient window films also contain patterns such as stripes, lines or dots along with more expressive shapes. 

 

Not only do gradient window films add a stylish touch to windows or internal glass, but they also enhance privacy. Crucially, that privacy may increase or reduce, so that you can still see behind the glass, but not to the level whereby the room feels exposed.

How Do Gradients Help Achieve Privacy In Window Films?

Well, imagine any type of glass surface such as windows, glass partitions, shower glass, balcony glass, glass doors or glass balustrades.

When manufactured and installed, that glass will be completely transparent. It is not always practical to install blinds and curtains to gain privacy (i.e. in shower glass). So rather than have to change the window glass altogether, applying a window film allows you to reduce the transparency of the glass to a degree which suits you.

Some gradients can cover almost the entirety of the glass, only revealing a small portion at the very top or bottom of the glass. In other cases, you can choose to block our strategic areas within the glass, so that people can’t see what is happening with the room as easily.

For example, when confidential or sensitive meetings are happening in an office, glass transparency within such a public space may prove unsuitable. Likewise, some people simply dislike the feeling of being overlooked in the workplace or even at home.

 

Gradient window films and their designs which feature the likes of lines, stripes, frosting, tinting, dots, and various patterns such as honeycombs all work to reduce glass transparency.

On our website, it’s also possible to toggle the level of privacy between low, medium and high so that you can gain exactly the amount of privacy that the environment requires. 

 

Gradient Window Films - Usage Ideas

On each of our product listings, you’ll see suggestions of where our gradient window films would be perfect for your glass surfaces.

But to offer up some further inspiration for your project, here are just some of the ways that gradients on window films can be useful. 

 

Offices And Other Corporate Settings

 

Gradient window films include some incredibly smart and stylish designs, meaning they will seamlessly blend into any corporate environment. 

In particular, gradients add a level of privacy and practicality, yet don’t create distracting visuals. This allows them to pair with any existing decor or company branding without overtaking the design. 

 

For any setting that needs to feel formal or professional, opting for a subtle gradient will give you window or glass privacy in abundance.

Home Environments

Do you have a large glass shower and want to gain some privacy?

Gradient window films are also perfect for showers, especially if you opt for a style which obscures the centre portion of the glass. This allows for privacy, yet still allows light through at the very top and bottom of the glass for added practicality.

Also, any windows or balconies which feel overlooked can also benefit from gradient window film. That’s because with a gradient, you can achieve the perfect balance between ‘people can’t see straight in’ but without having to completely block the window either. 

 

How To Choose A Gradient Window Film

 

Whenever purchasing a window film, it’s always a good idea to think about what you’re looking to achieve within the space.

Gaining window privacy may be a given, but to what degree? Also, would a plain style suit your needs more, or are you looking for a window film with some colour or pattern?

Here are some of the things to consider when opting for a gradient window film to help you select the perfect option for your project.

Gradient Style

Gradients can come in many different styles. If you’re familiar with gradients in an artistic sense, then you’ll know what we mean when we say the likes of radial, linear, vertical or horizontal.

Some gradients focus more on centre detail (i.e. radial) and then gradually fade. Other gradients have more pronounced patterns which determine where most of the coverage or detailing will be seen.

A good exercise here is to consider the vantage points of the glass, including how far away the glass can be seen through. This will help you determine the level of coverage needed, which will vary depending on the gradient chosen. 

 

Interior Or Exterior

Gradient window film is suited to interior use with a select number of styles suited to exterior glass use.

Simply select ‘filter’ and your chosen environment to see applicable styles.

 

Level Of Window Privacy (Low To High)

Solid White and Isoline Frost offer the highest levels of window privacy within our gradient window film range.

The rest of our styles offer medium to high levels of privacy but within select areas of the glass.

For lower privacy, opt for a more sporadic pattern, or one which has a strong fade out towards transparent sections of glass.

Pattern Or Texture

Some gradient window films have a pattern or texture, allowing you to truly customise the look of your glass. 

 

For those in search of privacy especially, patterns or texture can reduce the transparency of your glass. As the style is a gradient, the pattern or texture may also fade in and out.

 

Window Colour

Some gradient window films are available with coloured patterns or tints applied. 

 

H3: UV Transmission Level

The window film will offer a degree of reduced UV transmission wherever there is a colour or pattern applied. Transparent sections of glass will not provide as much UV transmission. 

 

Window Film Size

Measure up your window size in terms of width and length to find the most suitable gradient window film roll size. 

 

Benefits Of Gradient Window Film

Gradient window films have a huge advantage when it comes to flexible usage purposes. While we typically see this style being used within corporate settings, it has just as much appeal within various residential settings too.

For those considering opting for a gradient window film, here are some of the top perks to enjoy compared with other window film styles. 

 

Blends With Any Decor

 

Window films are available in a wide range of styles, patterns and colours. But, it’s fair to say that not all styles are going to suit all environments, particularly where there is a need for something paired back.

The vast majority of gradients have a subtle look to them, in that they offer window privacy, but at the same time don’t take over the decor. This makes them ideal when other options may seem too loud or simply not suited to the setting.

Great Safety Feature For Internal Glass

 

When you have large panels of glass such as internal offices, windows or doors, it can be difficult for people to see the glass when it is transparent.

Adding any kind of window film, including a gradient window film helps the eye see that there is glass there to improve safety in your home or office space.

Cost Effective

Applying a film to your windows or glass is far cheaper than replacing the window glass. Therefore, if you require privacy, or simply want to enhance the look of your space, window film is quick, easy and cost effective.
