<p>A method and means for decorating a substrate such as glass, tiles or mirrors to simulate stained glass comprises taking a flexible, transparent or translucent film, for example a polyester film, which may have a self-adhesive coating on one side, sublimation printing a design (12), a motif (14) or a colouration on the film so as at least partially to penetrate the film, and securing the film adhesively to the substrate. The sublimation printing may be done by a process involving the application of heat and pressure to cause deep penetration of the printing into the film, in a transfer printing process. A dividing strip (13) of lead or imitation lead may be adhered to the substrate and to the film.</p> |
