Stained Glass Window Film

Stained glass is a technique that's been practiced from about 1100 AD, to this very day. Its ability to capture selective parts from the white light spectrum, due to the presence of metallic salts and oxides, allows us to see the many colors. Churches and cathedrals use religious stained glass windows to depict parables from the Bible, and also the lives of saints. Here you will see how you can put up stained glass-like mosaic imitations in your home, giving it that air of elegance yet keeping it homey.
