Answers on ordering, measuring, lettering, the film, fitting and delivery. If yours is not here, contact us.

Ordering and pricing

Is there a minimum order?

No. You pay only for the area of film you order, whatever the size. Shipping is a flat $25 on orders under $100 and free on orders of $100 or more, anywhere in Canada.

How is the price worked out?

The area of your film in square feet is multiplied by the rate for the design you choose, which ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot. Each line of text or motif adds $10 per pane. The design tool shows the full calculation before you buy.

Do I pay for the whole window if I frost only part of it?

No. With part coverage you pay only for the frosted strip.

Can I see the film before ordering?

Yes. A sample card with a swatch of the film and every design at reduced scale costs $5, is mailed free and is credited to your first order.

How do I pay?

Payment is taken at checkout through Helcim, a Canadian payment processor. Card details are entered in Helcim's secure payment window and are never stored by FrostFit.

Measuring and fit

How exact is the fit?

The film is cut 1/8 inch smaller than your glass on every side. This standard gap lets the water escape during fitting and allows for glass that is slightly out of square. If you prefer to trim the film yourself, choose the oversize option and an inch is added to each dimension.

What if a measurement is wrong?

Send the corrected size and we remake that piece once at half price. If the error was ours, the remake is free.

Can you cover glass wider than 46.5 inches?

Yes. The film is 46.5 inches wide, so glass that exceeds this in both directions is supplied in panels with the pattern aligned across each join. The preview shows where the join falls before you order.

Should I measure in inches or centimetres?

Either. The design tool accepts both and converts between them.

Lettering and logos

Which way will my house number or logo read?

Film is applied to the inside face of the glass, so anything cut into it reads correctly from one side only. Choose "reads from outside" for house numbers and storefront logos, which we then cut in reverse so they read correctly from the street. Choose "reads from inside" for lettering meant for people in the room.

Can I preview how it looks from the street?

Yes. The design tool has a "Seen from" switch that shows the pane from inside or from outside, so you can check that the lettering reads the right way before ordering.

Can you cut our logo?

Yes. Upload vector artwork (PDF, AI, EPS or SVG) in the business order builder. Logo panes are priced straight away and confirmed once we have checked the artwork.

The film

Can people see in at night?

Frosted film obscures the view in both directions at all hours, with the lights on or off. Shapes pressed close to the glass appear as soft shadows.

Does it darken the room?

Very little. The film diffuses daylight rather than blocking it, so rooms stay bright.

Can it be removed?

Yes. The film peels away from the glass, and any adhesive left behind cleans off with soapy water and a plastic scraper.

Is it suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, on smooth glass that is not under direct, constant spray from a shower head.

Will it work on textured glass?

No. The adhesive needs a smooth, flat surface to bond evenly.

Fitting and care

Do you install?

No. Every order is supply only. The film is designed to be fitted by the customer, and business orders are prepared and labelled for your own team or installer.

Is it applied wet or dry?

It depends on the design. Patterned designs, clear borders, lettering, motifs and logos are cut with many separate pieces, so they arrive pre-masked with application tape that holds everything in place, and they must be applied dry. Solid film with no cut-outs, such as Full Frost and Privacy Band, can be applied wet with soapy water, which is easiest, or dry. Every design page and the design tool show which method applies.

Do I need experience to apply a patterned design?

Experience is highly recommended. Pre-masked film is applied dry, grips as soon as it touches the glass and cannot be repositioned, so it needs careful alignment. If you have not applied film before, consider a solid design or ask an experienced installer to fit it for you.

How long does fitting take?

About 15 minutes a pane for solid film applied wet. Pre-masked designs take a little longer because the application tape is removed after the film is down.

What tools do I need?

A lint-free cloth and the squeegee supplied with your order, plus a little masking tape to hinge the film while you line it up. For a wet application of solid film, a spray bottle of water with a few drops of dish soap. A trimming knife is supplied with oversize orders.

How do I clean it?

Wait a few weeks after fitting, then use a soft cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and scrapers.

Shipping and returns

How long does delivery take?

Film is cut to order and dispatched as soon as it is ready, with a tracking number sent by email.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is a flat $25 on orders under $100 and free on orders of $100 or more, anywhere in Canada.

Do you ship outside Canada?

Not at present. FrostFit ships to addresses in Canada only.

Can I return my order?

Film is cut to order for one piece of glass, so it cannot be returned for a refund. The remake promise covers measuring errors, and orders damaged in transit are replaced free.

Business orders

Can I order many panes of different sizes?

Yes. The business order builder takes one line per pane size, each with its own quantity and design, and totals the order as you go.

Can a pattern run continuously across several panes?

Yes. Because this needs a layout from our team, the order is sent as a quote request and confirmed within one business day.

Are the pieces labelled?

Yes. Each piece is labelled with the pane name you give it, so fitters know where everything goes.
