What Is Window Tinting and Frosting?
Window Tinting
Window tinting involves applying a thin film to your glass windows or doors to reduce:
- Solar heat gain
- Glare
- UV radiation
- Visibility from outside (for privacy)
Depending on the film type, tints can be reflective, neutral, or darker toned — and are often used for both solar control and privacy enhancement
Window Frosting
Frosting is a translucent film applied to glass that:
- Obscures visibility
- Allows light in
- Offers complete privacy
Frosted films are ideal for:
- Bathrooms
- Office partitions
- Consulting rooms
- Decorative accents
They can also be customised with patterns, company logos, or stripes for branding or design purposes
