Can you see through a frosted glass window?

After applying the frosted privacy window film, the glass becomes opaque, ensuring that visibility through it is significantly reduced. While the film allows light to pass through, it does not provide transparency. This means that the privacy effect works in both directions – people won't be able to see inside, and you won't have a clear view outside. Objects in close proximity to the glass will be discernible, but anything a few inches away will appear blurry. To ensure effective concealment with window film, make sure that objects are at least 15cm away from the glass; otherwise, they may still be faintly visible.

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

When purchasing our window frosting films by the metre, many of our products come with a convenient metric grid printed on the backing paper, making it easier to measure and mark accurately. The static cling frosting film is supplied with a clear backing for effortless application. To save time and ensure a perfect fit, you can order your frosted window film pre-cut to your desired size. Simply measure your window panes and enter the measurements in the designated fields, and the price will be calculated for you. All our frosted privacy window coverings are precision-cut using advanced computerized cutting technology with an accuracy of 0.5mm.

Can glass frosting film be used externally?

The frosted glass window film can also be applied externally, making it suitable for various applications such as glass balustrades. However, it's important to note that for exterior use, we do not recommend the static frosted film as it may be prone to peeling off in high winds. While we provide a warranty specifically for internal use, if applied correctly, the film can still offer long-lasting performance and durability when used externally. Rest assured, with proper installation, you can expect the frosted window cover film to maintain its effectiveness and aesthetics for many years in outdoor settings.

Can frosted window film be removed easily?

Certainly! Removing frosted window glass film is a simple and non-damaging process. If you have a self-adhesive film, start by gently lifting a corner of the film and peeling it off. In the case of static cling films, use a plastic scraper or your fingernail to lift the film and peel it away. Once the film is removed, ensure a clean surface by using a glass cleaner to eliminate any residue.

How to apply frosted window film?

Applying frost on glass is a straightforward and rewarding DIY project that requires no prior experience. Achieving the desired frosted effect is immediate, providing instant satisfaction. To ensure optimal results, it is crucial to start with clean and dust-free glass, devoid of any paint specks. As part of your order, we provide a complimentary felt-edged application tool, along with comprehensive instructions to guide you through the process. The key to a bubble-free application lies in using a solution of soapy water, which facilitates smooth and seamless installation. Rest assured, the entire process is relatively swift, allowing you to enjoy the transformed appearance in no time. Once applied, our films require minimal upkeep, typically only requiring a gentle wipe with a damp cloth once a year. We highly recommend taking a moment to watch our instructional video tutorial, which provides valuable insights into how to effectively frost a window.

Does frosted window film provide privacy at night?

Frosted glass effect film provides privacy both during the day and at night, even with the lights on inside your room. It's important to note that the effectiveness of the frosted privacy window film increases as you move further away from the window. When standing within a few inches of the glass, your image will appear as a blurry shadow.

Is frosted film suitable for all types of glass?

Frosted adhesive window film is suitable for application on various glass types, such as single and double-glazed windows, tempered glass, and laminated glass. However, it is important to note that textured or patterned glass is not ideal for applying the film, as it may not adhere properly due to the surface irregularities.

Can frosted window film be applied to bathroom windows?

Indeed, obscure glass film is an excellent choice for bathroom windows. It offers the perfect balance between privacy and natural light transmission, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. With its moisture-resistant properties, the film can withstand the humid conditions typically found in bathrooms, ensuring long-lasting performance and durability.
