Decorative
Window Film

Etching is an artistic technique where a design or pattern is carved onto the glass by either acid etching, sandblasting, or molding. It’s expensive and only comes in limited patterns unless you pay even more money to get a custom design by a craftsman. An easier and more affordable alternative is frosted or etched glass window film. Decorative glass finishes look so similar to authentic etched glass that it’s hard to tell the difference.

Decorative window film is visually appealing and adds privacy. This combination of benefits makes glass finishes great for conference room walls, storefronts, or windows where you still want natural light but not as much visibility. Frosted glass films come in many different patterns and can be customized for a unique look. With varying levels of transparency, you can tailor the level of privacy to your requirements.

While there’s nothing wrong with etched glass, there are many reasons why you may want to opt for frosted window film instead. For starters, it’s a lot more affordable than the real thing. Window film is also easy to remove if you change your mind or end up wanting something different. While decorative window film lasts for years, you can always switch it up sooner. On the other hand, once the glass is etched, there’s no turning back. You’re stuck with that design forever. You can’t simply peel and remove the carving if you get tired of it like you can with decorative glass finishes.
