The Best Alternative to Frosted Glass

09.29.22

Frosted glass is a great design aesthetic for commercial and residential properties. You can find frosted glass in bathrooms windows, glass showers, glass conference room walls, office doorways and more. It offers functionality, beauty and privacy to windows, glass doors and glass walls. Frosted glass is a popular choice for good reasons, but there are some downsides that lead individuals to look for alternatives. 

Many individuals who consider frosted glass love the idea, but the cost and/or idea of replacing their glass surfaces lead them to wonder what else is available. If you are in this situation and wondering what other options are available, then consider window film. As you will see in a moment, window film is one of the best alternatives to frosted glass for various reasons. 

 

The Best Alternative to Frosted Glass

If you want the look and functionality of frosted glass without having to replace all of your windows with real frosted glass, then consider frosted glass window film. Window film provides the same benefits as frosted glass, is affordable, easily installed without replacing glass, and can provide a temporary or permanent solution. 

 

What is frosted glass window film exactly?

Window Film is a thin strong sheet of polyester designed specifically for windows and glass objects. It can be used for decorative designs on glass, privacy, and some specialty films are designed to offer security and protection. 

Frosted glass window film looks and offers the same functionality as frosted glass, without having to reinstall new glass windows and doors. With skilled installation, window film looks like authentic sandblasted or acid etched glass frosted glass. This allows homeowners and businesses to get the exact aesthetic they are going for without having to replace any glass surfaces. 

Window film has many styles and designs but can also be customized to fit the look and feel you need. This means you can get a traditional frosted glass look, add custom designs to it or find a new solution altogether.

Is window film the right frosted glass alternative for you?

Finding solutions always comes down to your goals. What are you looking to achieve with frosted glass or an alternative? 

Do you need privacy? Is it the aesthetic you desire? Is it the authenticity of having real frosted glass? 

Many choose window film because of it’s flexibility of design, ease of installation (i.e. our installers can work around your life/operations), and because of how aesthetically pleasing it is. However, some have concerns as to whether or not it will look as nice as true etched glass.
