Installation Examples > Windows > Frosted Privacy Film

Large front windows and doors are a great way to allow light to come into your home. The negative side to this type of entry way is it can sometimes make you feel like you live in a fish bowl, for all your neighbors and people driving by to look in and see what you are doing in the privacy of your home. The solution to make you and your family feel more secure: apply a frosted decorative window film to these "fish bowl windows". Most frosted decorative window film allows for a large amount of light to still be transmitted through, but distorts vision to allow for privacy.

This particular frosted window film was applied to these windows after being put through a plot-cutting machine. This special machine, sometimes called a “plotter” cuts out shapes along the film, using computer generated coordinates. Although someone with a very steady hand can cut the film using items such as a sharp utility knife, a strait edge or ruler, as well as the proper cutting surface...its best to search around your local area for a company that can cut the film for you using precise computer generated measurements. Stores that make signs or vinyl cut lettering for business, may a have plot-cutting machine and may be willing to work the materials you bring in.
