Plastic windows have long moved beyond being purely functional — today they are an important accent for both interior and exterior design. Let’s explore popular decoration methods.
Lamination involves applying a coloured film to the profile that mimics wood, metal, or provides a solid colour. Options include:
single‑sided (only on the exterior or interior);
double‑sided (different colours on each side);
textures — from glossy to ultra‑matte
Advantages: aesthetic appeal, profile protection, and a wide colour range (over 50 shades). Limitation: some films are sensitive to high temperatures.
Mullions are decorative strips that divide the glass into segments. Types:
structural (integrated into the frame, increasing rigidity);
inter‑glass (mounted inside the insulating glass unit);
surface‑mounted (can be added later, easy to replace).
Shapes and widths vary (8–55 mm), with options for straight, curved, or geometric patterns. Suitable for styles ranging from classic to modern.
Stained glass refers to coloured glass inserts or films that create artistic compositions. Techniques include:
traditional leaded stained glass;
film‑based (applied as a sticker to glass);
fusing (melting glass pieces together).
Motifs: abstracts, floral designs, geometric patterns, landscapes. Stained glass transforms a window into an art object but requires careful maintenance.
What to consider when choosing:
interior and facade style (e.g., wood imitations for cottages, monochrome for loft);
window size (structural mullions work well for large openings);
orientation to cardinal directions (inter‑glass mullions are less prone to fading in sunlight);
budget (lamination is more affordable than stained glass).
By combining these techniques, you can achieve a unique window appearance — from understated elegance to bold designer solutions.
