# About the film

One finish, chosen because it looks like sandblasted glass and cuts cleanly into fine patterns.

## What it does

### Privacy, day and night

The frosted surface blurs shapes on the other side into soft light and shadow. Unlike mirrored film, it works the same after dark with the lights on.

### Daylight stays

Frosted film diffuses light without blocking it, so rooms remain bright. Clear areas in a pattern let through a little more view and sparkle.

### The look of etched glass

An even, matte white finish with no printed dots or texture, at a fraction of the cost of sandblasting and fully reversible.

## Where it works

- Smooth glass in windows, doors, sidelights, shower screens, partitions and cabinet doors.
- Applied to the inside face of the glass, where it is protected from weather.
- Not suitable for textured, patterned or already frosted glass, because the adhesive needs a smooth surface.
- In bathrooms, on glass that is not under direct, constant spray.

## Specification

| Finish | Etched-glass frost, matte |
| Installation | Patterned and lettered designs arrive pre-masked and are applied dry; solid film can be applied wet or dry |
| Largest single piece | 46.5 inches on the shorter side, any practical length |
| Cutting accuracy | To the nearest 1/8 inch |
| Removal | Peels away; adhesive residue cleans off with soapy water and a plastic scraper |

## Care

Wait a few weeks after fitting before the first clean, so the adhesive can cure fully. After that, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and scrapers, which can mark the surface.
