Window frosting film in white, grey, silver and gold

Window frosting film makes glass opaque from both sides, day and night. This frosted window film is self-adhesive and goes on any smooth glass - in a house, an office or a ground-floor flat - and it holds up in damp rooms, which is why it is the usual answer for bathrooms, shower rooms and toilets. Every piece is cut to your dimensions at no extra charge, so the sheet arrives ready to fit.

Window frosting film - privacy day and night

Frosted window film lets light through and blocks the view at the same time. Through frosted glass film only general outlines and soft shadows are visible; the further an object is from the glass, the more it blurs. In the evening, with the light on inside, the view through the window frosting film is the same - vague silhouettes, nothing more. That is the difference between a window frost film and mirror film, where the effect flips as soon as it gets dark outside.

Fitting a frosting film for windows turns clear glazing into matt privacy glass without replacing the pane - far cheaper than new glass, and reversible if you change your mind.

Solaris 979 offers window frost film in different colours

Most shops keep two or three of them and call that a range. Here there are eight, and they differ in three things you can actually see: colour, how much daylight the window frosting film lets through, and how hard it hides the view. So start from your room, not from the model name.

Colour is easy to underestimate, yet it decides how a frosting film for glass sits in the finished interior. Model by model:

• White - DLX-01/01 (white matt, milk glass) and FG-Etched White (white with an etch effect). A white window frosted film goes with white tiles, white frames and a bathroom that should feel clean and bright. The full white frosted window film section is here.
• Grey - window frosting film FG-K/300 (neutral grey) and FG-K/302 (light grey). The safe pick: grey reads as neutral in almost any room and does not argue with the wall colour.
• Silver - window frosting film KPMF 51112, grey with fine silver speckles that catch the light when you walk past.
• Gold and bronze - frosted window film FG-51131 Gold and the bronze DLX-01/02. Warm tones for oak doors, brass handles and older interiors, where a cold white film would look like a repair.

Light transmission of frosted glass window film: from 68% to 77%

Light transmission is how much daylight is left in the room once the window frosted film is on the glass: films in this range keep from 68% to 77% of it. The rule is simple: the higher the figure, the lighter the frosted window film and the brighter the room stays; the lower it is, the closer the effect to dense milk glass. Model by model, the most popular first:

• FG-K/302 - light transmission 76%: one of the brightest in the range, in a light grey frost tone.
• DLX-01/01 - 68%, proper milk glass. Your window catches full afternoon sun - take this one: it hides the view and softens the glare on the way.
• FG-K/300 - 72%: even the strongest blur of the range keeps the room bright.
• KPMF 51112 - 74%.
• FG-51131 Gold - 73%, warm gold.
• Window frosting film DLX-01/02 - 71%, warm bronze tone.
• Frosted window film FG-Etched White - light transmission 77%, the brightest of the eight. Your room is dim or faces north - take it: the room will barely register that anything went on the glass.
• FG-K/300 BF - 75%.

Whichever shade you land on, we ship window frosting film UK-wide by FedEx courier, and abroad.

Choose a frosted privacy film by the density of the effect

Density is a separate question from brightness: it decides whether a privacy frosted window film leaves you comfortable in the room. Four levels, from the strongest blur to the lightest:

• Intense Frost - frosted window film FG-K/300 and FG-K/300 BF. The strongest blur in the range, working day and night, with a pronounced rough grain to the touch. The choice for ground-floor windows and bathrooms with neighbours close by. The BF version is the same film with air channels in the adhesive for dry, bubble-free fitting.
• Etched effect - window frosting film FG-Etched White. Privacy on par with FG-K/300, but the surface is completely smooth, like glass itself - the choice when nothing on the pane should feel like a sticker.
• Classic Frost - FG-K/302. Medium density and the best seller of the collection: a frosted window film for glazed internal doors, office partitions and meeting rooms. Almost smooth to the touch.
• Light Frost - KPMF 51112 and FG-51131 Gold. Window frosting film with decorative sandblast grain for shop fronts, reception desks and glass balustrades: silhouettes go soft, and the surface stays lively and textured.

Where people put a frosted privacy window film

The same four or five rooms come back in every order:

• Bathrooms, toilets and shower enclosures. The classic case for window frosting film, and the reason it has to survive steam: ours are damp-proof, so a shower screen is no different from any other pane.
• Ground-floor flats and windows onto a path. Curtains stay open all day because there is nothing left to see; the room keeps its light instead of living behind fabric.
• Glazed front doors and internal doors. From the porch the frosted window film shows that someone is home - not who, and not what is on the hall table.
• Offices, partitions and meeting rooms. An open-plan floor keeps its daylight, the meeting keeps its privacy behind a glass frosting film, and nobody has to build a wall.
• Utility rooms, basements and technical spaces - where the point is simply that nobody looks in.

Frosted window privacy film is the most popular of all window films for privacy. One limitation: the glass must be smooth. On patterned or textured panes the film will not bond properly and bubbles stay under it.

What you get with the order

• All photographs on this site are real and match the product you receive.
• Free cutting to your sizes: the window frosting film is cut on a CNC plotter with 0.1 mm accuracy, corners finished - see frosted window film cut to size.
• A bonus in every order - installation tool and mounting concentrate, plus a free piece of the same film for practising the installation technique. Fit it on a small pane first: ten minutes of practice and the big sheet goes on without drama.

What an adhesive frosted window film gives you

• The room stays bright: the films cut brightness by only 20-30%.
• Nothing extra to buy: the self adhesive frosted film already carries its adhesive layer.
• Damp-proof: suitable for bathrooms and shower rooms.
• Nine years and more of service life on interior glass.
• Does not shrink, crack or curl: the frosted window film survives direct sun and comes off later without damaging glass or frames.

What it will not do

• It will not black out the room. Even the densest option keeps 68% of the daylight - if you need darkness, you need a blind, not a window frosting film.
• It is not a one-way mirror. A frosted window film blurs the view in both directions, all day and all night: nobody sees in, but you do not see out either. If you need to see out while blocking the view in during the day, look at one way mirror film.
• It is for flat glass only. A frosted film for windows bonds to smooth panes; patterned or textured glass and car windows, no.

Frosted films by popularity: the short list

Eight frosted glass films, ranked by popularity - the best sellers first. Every frosted window film here is cut to your size for free:

1. FG-K/302 - Classic Frost, the best seller of the collection: light grey frosting film for windows, almost smooth to the touch. This is the one most people order - internal doors, offices, bathrooms.
2. DLX-01/01 - milk glass: white matt frosted film for glass windows. Takes the most light (VLT 68%) - good on a sunny side, hides the view and softens the glare.
3. FG-K/300 - Intense Frost, the most requested dense window frosting film: neutral grey, the strongest blur in the range, working day and night. Rough grain you can feel under a finger.
4. KPMF 51112 - Light Frost: silver frost film for glass with fine speckles, the most textured sandblast surface. Decorative first - shop fronts, glass balustrades.
5. FG-Etched White - frosted glass effect film that stays completely smooth, like real etched glass. Privacy on the level of FG-K/300, with nothing you can feel on the pane.
6. FG-Etched Clear - the same etched effect in a clear matte shade.
7. FG-51131 Gold - Light Frost window frosting film in a warm gold tone: sandblast texture for oak doors and older interiors.
8. FG-K/300 BF - Intense Frost with air channels in the adhesive: fitting is dry and bubble-free. Take it if the pane is large and you are fitting alone.

Three things to settle before you order

• Density first. The degree of frosting is fixed in the window frosting film and cannot be adjusted after fitting - there is no "a bit less frosted" once it is on the glass.
• Then colour. Grey and white read as neutral; gold and bronze warm the room up; silver adds the speckled texture.
• Then the glass itself. Some glazing carries a factory tint that shifts the shade of the film slightly, so hold the free piece of frosted window film from your order against your own pane before you judge the colour.
• Measure the glass, not the frame, and write the width down first - the frosted film for windows is cut exactly to the two figures you enter, so a centimetre of error stays a centimetre of error.

Ordering window frosting film cut to size

1. Measure the glass and enter the width and height of your window frosting film in centimetres on the product page - for example 120 x 90 cm. Maximum piece: 280 x 145 cm.
2. The price appears instantly for your frosted window film, no registration.
3. Add to basket. The window frosting film arrives cut by CNC to 0.1 mm, corners finished, labelled with its size and name.

Ordering a window frosting film this way costs nothing extra: the cutting is free, and so is the tool kit that comes with it. The same applies to any frosted film for windows in the range, whatever size you enter.

Fitting the frosted window film yourself

Peel the liner, wet the glass and the adhesive side of the frosted window film with the mounting solution, position the sheet, then squeeze the water out from the centre to the edges with the squeegee. The solution buys you time to slide the window frosting film into place and pushes the bubbles out; after a few days the adhesive is fully set and the surface needs nothing but ordinary glass cleaner and a soft cloth.

Still torn between two densities? Order the smallest piece of each frosted window film and compare them on your own glass in your own light - the difference between Classic and Intense is obvious on the window and almost invisible on a screen.
