HOW DOES ARTSCAPE WINDOW FILM PERFORM IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS?
HOW DOES ARTSCAPE WINDOW FILM PERFORM IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS?
Artscape’s static cling window films are crafted from durable vinyl with a sealed, printed ink layer, engineered to perform beautifully in a range of conditions.
- High-moisture spaces: Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas prone to moisture. Because the film adheres with static cling (not adhesive), humidity won’t damage it or your glass. Just make sure the surface is cleaned and dried thoroughly during installation.
- Direct sunlight: All Artscape films are UV-resistant, helping block harmful rays and protect your interiors from fading. In areas with long hours of direct sun, the film may naturally expand and contract with temperature changes, but the vinyl and sealed ink layer are designed to stay stable and clear.
With proper installation and care, Artscape Window Film provides privacy, UV protection, and a timeless decorative design, making it perfect for even the most challenging environments.

CAN I USE WALLPAPER IN BATHROOMS OR HIGH-MOISTURE SPACES?
CAN I USE WALLPAPER IN BATHROOMS OR HIGH-MOISTURE SPACES?
Yes, but the type of wallpaper matters. For humid environments like bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms, choose Paste the Wall Wallpaper. It’s designed to hold up better against moisture and light condensation, keeping your walls looking seamless.
Peel and Stick Wallpaper is not recommended for damp areas, as it may lose adhesion over time in high-humidity conditions.
