# Privacy for street-facing windows

A frosted band across the lower part of a front window screens the street while keeping the sky and daylight in view. You choose exactly where the band starts and stops.

Example: Living room window, 60 × 48 in, Privacy Band: **$70.00** before shipping and tax.

## What to consider

### Frost only what you need

Set the bottom and top edge of the frost in the design tool. You pay only for the film you use.

### Soft patterns

Stripes and fading lines give privacy at eye level while keeping a sense of the view.

### Large windows

Glass wider than 46.5 inches in both directions is supplied in panels with the pattern aligned at the join.

## Designs that suit

## Questions

### How high should a privacy band be?

Most people frost from the bottom of the glass to just above eye level when seated or standing, typically 5 to 6 feet from the floor. The design tool shows the band height in inches as you adjust it.

### Will it make the room darker?

Very little. Frosted film diffuses daylight rather than blocking it.

## Measure your glass and see the price.
