Experience with plastic window interior decorative film?

The windows in the factory get the paint applied directly with high heat and are not simply covered with [Folie], is that still normal or not? I just call it "[Folie]" for simplicity.

Wrapping white plastic windows white again is, in my opinion, nonsense...

No no.. believe me, it makes a big difference. The "film" (or whatever) has a certain texture, a different gloss level, and is (in my case) also a bit darker than pure white.

No no.. believe me, that makes a big difference. The "foil" (or whatever) has a certain texture, a different gloss level and is (for me) also a tick darker than pure white.

Can you post a real picture once, Knallkörper?

Does daylight somehow enter your window frames from the inside, causing them to (not) shine?
With us, almost nothing shines, a) because of the simple plastic b) because of the lack of light due to the inner layer.

Hello ypg,

that may well be. My flooring (natural polished stone) also reflects in such a way that the light is reflected onto the ceiling and the non-reflective joints stand out there. Regardless of the light source, isn't it also a difference whether you print photos on glossy paper or satin matte?

What does the company Galan do differently?

The paint coating is fused warm during the production of the profile itself, while foils are applied cold during assembly.

Is it still normal that the windows get the color applied directly with high heat at the factory and are not simply covered with foil?

No, that is not normal, and high heat rather not. Foils are applied cold, similar to car lettering. And usually come with warranties for three years.

I'm looking for something that is not glossy but rather matte.

You don’t have to wait long, the plastic profiles are one-piece and therefore weather/age. But why matte, doesn’t that look less elegant?
