Value Engineered

Versatile – Replaceable – Cleanable – Polyester

Whoever said that glass needs to be clear and colorless wasn’t aware of 3M Fasara Decorative Films.

Available in over 100 pre-printed flavors, these aesthetically pleasing polyester films allow you to express your creativity by transforming glass into what you never imagined possible. You can create privacy, redirect light, and add a visually appealing look to otherwise clear glass.

Typically, glass privacy and design are achieved by sandblasting or etching. 3M Fasara polyester films are a value engineered alternative to this process, often being less than 1/3 of the cost. Fasara can be applied to most any new or existing, glass (interior or exterior) surface and requires no added maintenance or special cleaning. And because Fasara can be removed when desired, a new Fasara pattern can be installed allowing continuous modernization and evolution of the space.

Apply to nearly any glass surface. Common installation sites include:

Entrances

Doors

Ceilings

Balconies

Windows

Staircases

Partitions

Corridors
