Gradient window films have an ombré effect, meaning they gradually fade in opacity from dark to light. They come in all different colors, shades, and transparencies. Gradient film can either be a solid color or consist of a pattern. Not only are they decorative, but they can also add privacy by limiting visibility. Because of their versatility, gradient films are a great option for both homes and businesses.
Standard vs. Custom Gradient Films
Standard gradient films come in a limited number of sizes and styles, typically smaller than 60” in height. So if you’re looking to cover a bigger area or want a unique look, standard films won’t give you many options.
If you’re looking for more personalization, then you want to select a custom gradient film designed specifically for your space. Gradient film can be cut to fit glass surfaces of any height or width. Also, because of the precision with which professional window film installers like ATD Solar Film & Graphics cut and apply the film, the seams will be flush together and can be oriented according to your preferences.
Whether you want a more transparent film for better visibility or a more opaque film for added privacy, you can adjust the optical clarity to fit your specific needs.
Gradient Film Can Start from Any Direction
Gradients don’t just run from top to bottom; they can start from a few different directions:
- Vertical: Typical gradient films are vertical, which means they fade gradually from top to bottom or bottom to top.
- Horizontal: Horizontal gradients go from left to right or right to left.
- Center Out: This type of gradient starts from the center of the glass and expands outwards so that both ends fade into transparency.
- Diagonal: Diagonal gradients go from one corner to the other.
- Radial: Radial gradients stem from one central point and are symmetrical on both sides.
Gradient Film Comes in All Colors & Patterns
White may be the standard when it comes to gradient film, but it’s definitely not the only option. While white offers a clean and professional look, sometimes you want to spice things up a bit with a splash of color. Color can also be matched if you want to use a certain shade or Pantone color. Gradients can go from white to clear, white to color, color to clear, or color to color.
Gradient film is also available in a variety of patterns. From stripes and dots to geometric squares, custom gradients can come in any shape imaginable. Whether you want a cutout of your logo, a quote, or an image, the options are limitless. Custom gradients give you the flexibility to create any aesthetic you want with whatever color you want.
Where Can You Use Custom Gradient Films?
You can use custom gradient film wherever you have a flat glass surface, whether that’s at home or at the office. It’s a great way to add privacy to glass conference room walls or other open areas where you may need to limit visibility. You can use gradient film to divide up spaces, enhance aesthetics, and even boost branding. Gradient films also act as good distraction markers so people don’t unknowingly walk into a clear glass wall.
