Decorative Window Film in Salt Lake City

Decorative Window Film for Salt Lake Entry Doors and Sidelights

A lot of the valley's bungalows and cottages have a glass panel in the front door or narrow sidelights beside it. Clear glass there means anyone on the porch can see down the hall, and a package thief can see whether anyone is home. Put a frost or a pattern on it and the hallway still gets its morning light, but the porch sees only a soft glow.

Newer homes in South Jordan, Lehi and Draper often have tall glass entries with transoms above. Those look good from the curb but put the stairway and living room on display. A band of decorative film at eye level is a common fix, leaving the transom clear so the entry still feels open.

Etched, Reeded and Patterned Film Styles

Plain frost is the most requested, because it matches most trim and hardware and never goes out of style. It also photographs well for owners planning to sell. Reeded or fluted film imitates the ribbed glass that has come back into style in kitchens and baths. Linear stripes and dot screens give partial privacy while leaving part of the view open.

For older houses, there are films that look like the textured and obscure glass that was common in early twentieth-century bathrooms, which helps a replaced pane blend in with the originals. For modern builds, gradient films that fade from opaque to clear suit clean lines and large panes.

We bring sample books and cut pieces so you can hold each pattern against the actual window. Light changes a lot from morning to evening in Utah, and a pattern that looks busy at noon can look just right in the soft light of a north-facing bathroom.

Decorative Film for Bathrooms, Showers and Cabinets

Bathrooms are the single biggest use. Many older Salt Lake houses had their bathroom window replaced with clear glass at some point, and remodeled baths sometimes end up with a large clear window over the tub. Decorative film restores privacy without the cost of new obscure glass.

Inside the house, film works on glass shower enclosures, glass cabinet doors, pantry doors and interior French doors. A reeded or frosted film on a pantry door hides cereal boxes. On a home office French door, it gives a sense of separation from the rest of the house without blocking light from the hallway.

Removable Decorative Window Film in Historic Homes

In the Avenues, Capitol Hill and other older neighborhoods, original glass is worth protecting. Decorative film goes on the interior side and can be peeled off later without damaging the pane, which means the change is fully reversible. That is a big part of why owners of historic houses prefer it over sandblasting or replacing glass.

Renters like it for the same reason. A tenant in a Sugar House duplex or a downtown apartment can add privacy to a bathroom or a street-facing window and take it off at move-out, leaving the glass as they found it. We can also install film that is easier to remove for short-term needs.
