Glass films and wallpaper guide
Glass films and wallpaper are the two fastest ways to change the look of a room without construction. This guide covers frosting, safety and solar films, printed wallpaper and feature walls for Nairobi offices and homes.
Glass films
Frosted film gives privacy on partitions and shop windows while keeping daylight. Solar tinting cuts heat and glare in our equatorial sun so offices and homes stay cooler. Safety lamination holds glass together on impact for shopfronts, schools and balconies. Printed and cut films add branding to glass doors.
Wallpaper and wall graphics
Printed wallpaper turns any wall into a feature, from a game-room mural to a restaurant brand wall. Designer rolls offer hundreds of ready-made textures and patterns. Laser-cut wood and foam feature walls add three-dimensional depth for offices, hotels and homes.
Choosing between film and print
Film is for glass surfaces and solves privacy, heat or safety. Wallpaper is for walls and solves decoration and branding. They are not interchangeable, but they are often combined in one project, for example frosted partitions plus a branded wallpaper feature wall in an office.
Installation
Glass film is applied on site with a bubble-free wet method, usually in under a day with no downtime. Wallpaper is measured first, printed to the exact wall size and hung by our team. See our installation service.
Care
Frosted and solar film wipe clean with a damp cloth and last 5 to 10 years indoors depending on sun exposure. Wallpaper is washable if rated vinyl. Both are removable and replaceable when branding or decor changes.
FAQs
Does frosted film reduce light?
Slightly. Frosted film diffuses the light but keeps most of it, so the room stays bright while the view is blocked. It is the standard privacy solution for offices that need daylight.
Can wallpaper go in a kitchen?
Only rated washable vinyl wallpaper. We advise on the right material per room. Standard non-woven wallpaper is better for living rooms, bedrooms and offices.
How long does glass film last?
5 to 10 years indoors depending on sun exposure. Solar film on a sun-facing window may need replacing sooner. All our films are removable without damaging the glass.
