What Are Self-Adhesive Coloured Matte Films Used For?

Coloured matte films for glass are used to provide privacy, control light and change the appearance of glazed surfaces at the same time. After application, they create a matte or satin glass effect that diffuses daylight and limits visibility on both sides of the glass.

Their main purpose is to reduce visibility on both sides of the glass while diffusing light and reducing glare, which improves comfort at work and during rest. Unlike mirror films, matte films provide privacy around the clock, regardless of lighting conditions, even when the light is switched on inside the room.

What Are the Main Types and Variants of Matte Films?

The basic division is by colour and light transmission level. The most frequently chosen film is White Matte in a milky white shade. Another distinctive matte film is Silver Matte, which is reflective on one side and matte on the other. Coloured variants are also available, including yellow, red, green and blue, which introduce coloured light into the interior and serve a decorative function.

Key Properties of Coloured Matte Films

• Matte effect and privacy – they fully blur the image, so from the outside you can usually see only the outline of a person or object directly next to the glass. They provide privacy both during the day and at night.
• Light transmission – despite providing discretion, matte films do not completely darken the interior. They transmit and diffuse a significant part of daylight. Light colours, such as white and yellow, transmit more visible light, while darker colours, such as grey and bronze, transmit less.
• UV and sun protection – most high-quality matte films block almost 99% of harmful UV radiation, helping protect furniture and furnishings against fading and helping limit room heating. Heat reduction may be noticeable, especially in summer, but it will not be the same level of difference as with exterior solar window films.
• Water resistance and resistance to everyday conditions – made from synthetic materials, these films are resistant to standard conditions, temperature changes and very light scratches. They can be used in bathrooms.
• Thickness and safety – matte films are very thin, with a thickness of around 0.08–0.09 mm, including the adhesive and protective layer.
• Durability – good-quality Lite Solar self-adhesive matte films are a durable solution, with a service life of over 10 years in interior applications.

Most Common Uses of Lite Solar Matte Films

The wide range of applications makes matte films extremely versatile:

• Educational and care spaces – in kindergartens, nurseries and playrooms, matte shades create a friendly environment and reduce harsh light. In therapy rooms and libraries, they support concentration.
• Commercial and office spaces – on glass partitions, doors, shop windows, conference rooms, medical, dental and beauty offices. They provide discretion, a modern look and a more economical alternative to etched glass.
• Homes and apartments – in bathrooms, shower doors and windows, where privacy is needed without losing natural light; in kitchens and children’s rooms as a decorative element that can be removed if needed.
• Industrial and specialist applications – in warehouses and laboratories to limit visual access, as well as on internal glazing of balconies and loggias.
• Decoration and design – coloured versions combine a screening function with a decorative effect, giving glass the look of coloured, semi-transparent glazing.

Installation and Care of Coloured Matte Films

Self-adhesive film installation is carried out using the wet method with installation fluid, which makes positioning easier and helps remove air bubbles. The films are easy to clean with a soft cloth and can be removed. High-quality products do not leave permanent marks on the glass after removal.

• Reversible change, with easy removal without damaging the glass.
• They do not allow clear visibility through the glass.
• They reduce harmful ultraviolet radiation, helping protect furniture and objects against fading.

Matte films also help protect rooms from dazzling sunlight by limiting and diffusing direct rays. They scatter light, reducing glare and reflections, which is gentler on the eyes and can help create a more relaxing interior. For this reason, they are not only a way to separate yourself from the outside world, but also a method of improving comfort inside a room.

Did You Want Coloured Glass?

It has never been easier. Choose the film, place your order and install it yourself. Coloured matte window films are durable and do not deform over a long period of use. You also do not have to worry about darkening the interior – depending on your needs, you can choose a film with high light transmission, for example White Matte transmits over 70% of light.

Installation is not difficult and, depending on the size of the window, should not take more than 2–3 hours.

Decorative matte films have a special transparent adhesive, allowing you to apply the film to the window smoothly and efficiently. The other side of the film is a protective layer resistant to scratches, which is why window films are sometimes also used for glass protection, for example on glass entrance doors to offices. Importantly, installation is reversible, so you can remove the decorative window film at any time without risking damage to the glass.
