Decorative films, especially those by MANLEE, serve as an environmentally friendly option for architects and interior specialists who do not want to compromise on aesthetics even as they try to go green.

In sustainable design, there is a lot of material wastage which can be controlled with the use of decorative films. Rather than displacing the entire surfaces, the designs can update the exposure of the materials by using decorative films. In this way, not only the life of the surfaces underneath is increased but wastages and fresh raw materials requirement is decreased.

MANLEE produces its decorative films using PETG, a type of plastic that manufactures environmentally safe products. Compared to conventional papers, PETG films are laminated in a way that they are encouraged to last long - this helps in the need to replace things frequently. Also, these films are made to be easy-to-use-clean-dispose for the environmental concern during refurbish or design change projects.

Energy efficiency is also a key consideration in the design. Decorative films help enhance the energy efficiency of a space by controlling the level of sunlight that penetrates the room. MANLEE’s films continuously protect residents from UV light which in turn aids in indoor natural temperature control hence not highly relying on heaters and coolers. This reduces energy use and greenhouse gas emissions that are associated with a building and enhances its sustainability overall.

Similarly, decorative films serve to let in daylight with a minimal loss of privacy. For buildings that are working towards LEED certification or other sustainability objectives, access to natural light is critical. MANLEE’s decorative films promote light transmission, while offering appropriate privacy for glass covered surfaces. This makes the occupants more comfortable through the incorporation of sunlit, breezy spaces that gives an outside impression.

‘This is primarily because it is the best available option for residence designers who are concentrating on environmental protection. These films are reasonably priced, incorporate energy saving features and materials that are waste minimizers, it is correct to say that these films are appropriate within the context of green construction.
