Decorative frost film gives you privacy where you need it without giving up the daylight, and it gives a textured or frosted glass look for a small fraction of what replacing the glass costs. Bathrooms, entry sidelights, stairwells, internal doors and any window a neighbor can see straight into.

What it looks like

Frosted, textured, rain glass, reeded, stained and custom designs. Custom patterns are made to your drawing, so a specific band height, a motif or a shape that follows the joinery are all possible.

Privacy at full brightness

This is the point of frost over any other privacy treatment. A blind or a curtain buys privacy by taking the light. Frost film is translucent — the room stays as bright as it was and the sightline is gone.

Where it earns its keep

Ground-floor bathrooms, entry sidelights either side of a front door, stairwell windows overlooked by a neighbor, internal glazed doors, and any room where the only privacy option today is keeping a blind permanently shut.

It comes off cleanly

Frost film is removable without damaging the glass, so it suits rentals and it suits anyone who might change their mind. Replacing the glass is permanent.

Questions

What people ask us about this.

Does frost film provide privacy at night?

During the day it is complete. At night, with the interior lit and the outside dark, a translucent film will show silhouettes in the same way a thin curtain does. For full night-time privacy in a bathroom or bedroom, we specify a fully opaque white film rather than a translucent frost.

What are the benefits of decorative window film?

Privacy without losing daylight, UV protection for whatever sits near the glass, a textured or frosted look at a fraction of the cost of new glass, and the ability to change or remove it later.

Can I install decorative film myself?

You can, and most people who try get creases, trapped dust and edges that lift within a season. The material is unforgiving, the cutting has to be exact, and the surface preparation is most of the job.

Will it work on textured or patterned glass?

Usually not. Film needs a smooth surface to bond to properly. We will look at the glass and tell you straight rather than install something that will fail.

How do I clean it?

Soft cloth, non-abrasive cleaner, after 30 days of curing. Never an abrasive pad on a matte frost face.
