Frosted Window Film Cut to Size

Frosted window film cut to size means the piece arrives at the exact dimensions of your glass. Cutting accuracy is 0.1 mm per metre of cut length, corners are finished, edges are clean, and every piece is labelled with its size and the name of the film. You enter the measurements, we cut, you install - there is no stage in between.

Solaris 979 keeps eight frosted films in stock, in five colours and with light transmission from 68% to 77%, and every one of them can be ordered to your own dimensions. The cutting itself costs nothing extra: you pay for the area of film, not for the service.

Cut to size frosted window film - what you actually gain

1. No trimming on the glass

Trimming film in place is a skill, and installers used to train for it specifically. You work on wet glass, the sheet slides under your hand, the blade has to follow the frame without catching the seal, and the last 20 cm decide whether the window looks professional or homemade. One slip on a two-metre pane and the sheet is scrap.

With pieces cut in advance that stage simply disappears. Wet the glass, lay the piece on, squeeze the water out from the centre - the edges already line up.

2. No offcuts

Buying by the roll means guessing. Your windows are rarely the same size, so you either order several roll widths or you cut a bathroom pane out of a metre-and-a-half roll and put the rest in the bin. A piece cut for that window costs what that window costs.

3. Time

Measuring an evening's worth of windows takes half an hour. Trimming the same four pieces by hand takes a Saturday, and one of them will still need doing twice.

The pieces arrive ready; the only thing left is the wet application itself, and that is twenty minutes per window at a calm pace.

The same service covers every film we sell - mirror, solar, safety: see cut to size window film.

What the service includes

• Cutting accuracy of 0.1 mm per metre of cut length, on equipment built for film.
• Precise corners and clean edges, ready to install.
• Every piece labelled with its dimensions and the film name - four pieces for four windows do not get mixed up on the kitchen table.
• Free installation tool and mounting concentrate in every order - see the bonus tool set.
• A free test piece of the same film, to practise the wet method before the real sheet.

How to place the order

1. Choose the film - by colour and by how strongly it should hide the view.
2. Enter width and height in centimetres on the product page, for example 120 x 90 cm. Decimals are allowed, so 67.5 cm goes in as it is. Set the number of pieces if you need several.
3. The price appears instantly, no registration. One order can hold several films and several different sizes; the basket lists every piece with its dimensions before you pay.

Solaris 979 offers a choice most shops do not

Two or three frosted films is what a normal shop carries. We keep eight, and they differ in things you can see on the glass rather than in the catalogue: the colour they leave, how much daylight they let through, and how hard they hide the view. That is why the order starts from the room, not from the model name.

Colour

White for tiled bathrooms and white frames; neutral and light grey for anything, because grey does not argue with the walls; silver with fine speckles when bare glass looks unfinished; warm gold and bronze for oak doors and brass handles, where a cold white film reads as a repair.

Light transmission from 68% to 77%

The figure tells you how much daylight stays in the room after the film goes on. A north-facing bathroom with one narrow window is dim already on a February afternoon - there you take the brightest end, FG-Etched White at 77% or FG-K/302 at 76%, and the room barely notices the change. A south-facing kitchen door that gets the full afternoon sun takes the other end comfortably: FG-K/300 at 72% or DLX-01/01 at 68% reads as proper milk glass and softens the glare on the way.

Density of the frost effect

Density is a separate question from brightness. Intense Frost (FG-K/300 and FG-K/300 BF) is for the pavement a metre from your ground-floor window or a bathroom looking into the neighbour's kitchen - the strongest blur we have, working just as well at nine in the evening with the light on. Classic Frost (FG-K/302) is the everyday choice for internal doors and office partitions. Light Frost (KPMF 51112 and FG-51131 Gold) is decorative first: silhouettes go soft, the surface stays textured. FG-Etched White sits outside the scale - privacy as strong as FG-K/300, but the surface is completely smooth, like glass itself.

Available frost film models

Every one of them can be ordered as a frosted window film made to measure, in any size within the limits below:

• FG-K/302 - the everyday grey frost, almost smooth to the touch.
• FG-K/300 - the densest blur in the range, pronounced rough grain.
• FG-K/300 BF - the same Intense Frost with air channels for dry installation.
• FG-Etched White - etched glass effect, completely smooth, maximum privacy.
• DLX-01/01 - white matt with the look of milk glass.
• DLX-01/02 - the same matt finish in bronze.
• KPMF 51112 - silver sandblast grain, decorative.
• FG-51131 Gold - sandblast film in a warm gold tone.

Mixing models in one order is normal: Intense Frost where the neighbours are close, Classic Frost on the internal door where the view only needs softening. Full technical data on all of them is in the frosted window film section.

How to measure the glass

Measure the glass you can see, not the frame. On a sealed unit the bead overlaps the edge by a few millimetres, and the film only needs to cover what shows.

Old wooden frames are rarely square: measure the width at the top, the middle and the bottom and take the smallest of the three - the same for the height. A piece cut to the largest reading fights the frame on one side, and you are back to trimming.

Write the width first and keep that order for every window on the list: every frosted glass film cut to size arrives with its dimensions and model on the label, and you want to match them at a glance. For a glazed door measure the panel, not the leaf; for a shower screen, the pane inside the profile.

Size limitations

Film comes on rolls 152 cm wide - an international production standard, not our choice. The largest single piece we cut is 280 x 145 cm.

If your glass is wider than that, the element is produced in two parts. In practice: a pane of 130 x 220 cm comes as one piece, because 130 cm fits across the roll; a pane of 180 x 170 cm comes as two, because neither side fits. On frosted film the seam is barely visible - the surface is diffuse anyway - and it is worth planning it to fall behind a glazing bar if the window has one.

What arrives

Each custom-cut piece arrives labelled with its dimensions and film name; in the same parcel are the squeegee, the concentrate and the test piece. Delivery across the UK is by FedEx courier. Before you start, lay the pieces next to their windows and check the labels against your own list - two minutes there saves the moment when the bathroom piece goes onto the hallway door and comes up 4 cm short.

Still choosing between two shades? Order the smallest piece of each and hold them against your own glass in your own light: a shade that looks obvious on screen often reads differently on a north-facing pane.

Nothing here is permanent either - interior films last nine years and more, and come off without damaging the glass or the frame. Whichever shade you settle on, a custom frosted glass film goes onto the pane the same way: wet it, position it, squeeze the water out, and the window is done for the next decade.
