Frosted Films Heritage
Frosted window films trace their roots back to traditional sandblasted and acid‑etched glass, long used to soften daylight and create privacy without darkening a room.
Modern films carry that heritage forward, delivering the same elegant diffused look with far more flexibility. They are removable, affordable, durable, and suitable for both homes and workplaces.
Yes. All three films Opal Frost Vinyl, 3M™ Haze Vinyl, and SolarGard Clear Frost provide day‑and‑night privacy. They diffuse light rather than relying on reflectivity, so privacy remains consistent regardless of lighting conditions.
For the highest opacity, 3M™ Haze Vinyl.
No. All three films maintain high light transmission, keeping rooms bright and naturally lit. They soften the light rather than blocking it.

These films are primarily for privacy and aesthetics, not insulation. They don’t significantly change heat gain or heat loss as they simply diffuse light beautifully.
