Does frosted window film provide privacy at night?

Frosted glass effect film provides privacy both during the day and also at night, even when the lights are on inside your room. However it is worth noting that frosted privacy window film is more effective the further you are from the window. When within a few inches of the glass, you will appear as a blurry shadow.

However it is worth noting that frosted privacy window film is more effective the further you are from the window. When within a few inches of the glass, you will appear as a blurry shadow;

Can glass frosting film be used externally?

You can use the frosted window film externally, on a glass glass balustrade for example. We don't recommend static frost for exterior use as it is more likely to peel off in high winds. We only offer a warranty for internal use, but if applied properly the film will last for many years externally.

Can you see through a frosted glass window?

Once the frosted privacy window film has been applied, you won't be able to clearly see through the now opaque glass. The frosted window covering is translucent, allowing light through, but not transparent. The privacy effect works both ways, so people can't see in, and you can't see out. Objects right up to the glass will be discernible, and anything a few inches away will be blurry. When using window glass film for concealement, make sure the object is at least 15cm away from the glass or it will still be faintly visible.

Should I order frosted window film by the metre or cut-to-size?

If you buy our window frosting films by the metre, most of our products have a metric grid printed on the backing paper to make it easier to mark. The static cling frosting film come with clear backing. To save time with your window frosting, you can order your frosted window film cut to size. Just measure your panes and enter the measurements in the required fields, and the price will calculate for you. All our frosted privacy window coverings are processed using a state of the art computerised cutting machine accurate to 0.5mm.

Frosted window film is ideal for privacy

Frosted window film is the clean and elegant solution for obscuring rooms from view, and thanks to the translucent quality of the material, without sacrificing natural light.

Once applied, the stick on glass frosting film gives windows and doors a sleek look similar to sandblasted or etched glass, making it instantly opaque for complete privacy day and night. Obscure glass window film is a very popular and cost effective solution for your privacy requirements. No need for heavy, claustrophobic curtains that make your interiors feel drab and dreary. In fact, many of our customers purchase frosted film as a light and airy alternative to net curtains and blinds, by applying our adhesive vinyl window stickers on the lower half of a bay window, in keeping with a more minimalist style.

For enhanced security and safety

Many of us are now working from home, with our computer screens and laptops on show, potentially exposing intimate or sensitive information to passers by. This can also be a greater issue at your place of work, in a shared office or one with clear glass partitions, where your data could be compromised. By the simple act of frosting windows or doors, you will instantly hide your valuables from sight, making you feel more secure.

Frosted bathroom window the easy way

If your bathroom, toilet, or shower room needs a little pick-me-up and added privacy, our frosted glass film is an excellent solution, as it is completely resistant to condensation. Tastefully update your room with our opaque film available in a range of colours and designs, including room specific designs with a nautical theme. If you are concerned that people may be able to see through, if your window faces a main road for example, we also have a denser white frosted window film for extra peace of mind.

Wide range of glass frosting products to suit your needs

We have several types of frosted film in stock, which can be purchased on our website by the metre, or cut to your exact measurements to make the installation process even easier.

Plain frosted window film has a subtle finish when viewed externally, making it ideal for older properties as it doesn't affect the appearance of the glass. This product is perfect for a home or office setting, or to hide items from view in an appealing way.

Our white frosted window film is a denser and more opaque frosted vinyl, making it the perfect choice for bathroom windows, shower rooms and toilets, or areas where privacy is more of a requirement.

The etched glass effect films range is a fun way to introduce a pop of colour to a space and an excellent decorative option for glass.

Our static cling frosted film is removable in seconds, making it an attractive option for renters and homeowners alike. Though this frosted plastic is designed for temporary purposes, it is very durable and will last for many years if necessary. It is the perfect solution to achieve a frosted door, to hide the mail whilst you're on holiday for example.

Contemporary and period frosted glass designs

Beautiful yet functional, our patterned window film is a stunning way to add a decorative touch to your living room, front door, or even your cupboard doors. We have a wide-ranging collection of contemporary styles, as well as period designs from the Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Victorian eras. The frosted window film patterns can be printed in a colour of your choice, or appear as transparent within the film giving them the appearance of acid etched glass.

Frosted glass film prevents your dog from barking

Installing frosted glass film on a front door or street facing windows can also help if you have a dog who tends to bark at passersby. You can try applying a frosted glass sticker to obscure the lower section of a window, high enough so that your dog can't see over the film even when standing on its hind legs, as otherwise the window frosting will not have the necessary impact.

Ordering your frosted glass film

When ordering window films by the roll, select a width and a length of material, and add to basket. The film is easy to cut thanks to the metric grid printed on the back. To make it easy to install, or for bespoke made glass window film designs, you will first need to measure the width and the height of your panes and the film will be produced exactly to these measurements.
