What is Frosted Glass?

Frosted glass, or window frosting, is a semi-transparent adhesive film applied to glass surfaces. This film has a clear, semi-opaque colour that offers privacy while still allowing natural light to pass through. The result is a sleek look that enhances office spaces, retail stores, and commercial buildings.

Beyond aesthetics, window frosting is also a practical solution for businesses to meet safety regulations by adding safety strips to glass doors and partitions.

Types of Frosting

Frosted glass film comes in various styles, allowing businesses to customise their space while maintaining functionality. Some popular types of frosting executions are:

  • Strip Frosting – A simple horizontal strip to add subtle privacy and aesthetics without overwhelming the design.

  • Band or Partial Coverage – Covers a section of the glass, typically at eye level, to create privacy while maintaining a level of visibility and natural light.

  • Full Glass Coverage – Offers complete privacy by covering the entire glass panel.

  • Top Cut Designs – Custom cut frosting that includes logos, patterns, or decorative elements within the frosting sheet.

  • Coloured Films – Adds a touch of personality by using coloured frosting elements.

  • Printed Graphics – Perfect for designs to incorporate company logos, messaging or artistic patterns and graphics while utilising the benefits of the frosting film.
