What is Privacy Film?

Privacy window film is a type of window film that is installed directly onto a glass surface. Typically for privacy or decorative purposes, it can be used to prevent people from seeing into or out of the space and allows significant creativity.

Privacy window film is an ideal deterrent for prying eyes, instantly protecting your business and allowing the team to focus on their work rather than being distracted by passers-by.

Our range of privacy films is available in one-way mirror, smoke tint and frosted acid-etch options. It also offers the additional benefit of being easily removed if need be with no damage to the glass surface. 

What is Privacy Glass?

Privacy glass is a piece of glass that is created using either an internal texture or a frost inner layer. Unlike privacy window film, privacy glass is a permanent addition to the glass which cannot be reversed. 

Do Privacy Window Film & Privacy Glass Share Any Similarities?

Both privacy window film and privacy glass are generally used for decorative/privacy purposes with the primary goal of preventing people from seeing into property or home. The visual effect is also very similar with either option and they both have a clean and professional look that will not dramatically alter the look of your space. The biggest difference between the two products is privacy window film allows you more creativity and flexibility, and it can be removed if needed. 

Which Is Cheapest?

When it comes to pricing, the comparison is not a close one. Privacy window film is far more affordable in the majority of cases and on top of that, is also more sustainable. Because the installation of privacy glass will require the original piece of glass to be removed, as well as the framing, the increased labour and other associated expenses, are highly likely to ensure that costs spiral quickly.  

The Advantages Of Privacy Glass

The primary benefit of privacy glass is its durability. There are certain projects, such as areas that receive high traffic, where privacy glass may offer a better option because of its strength and lifespan. 

The Advantages of Privacy Window Film

The advantages of etched, cut, sandblasted, textured, blackout or one way mirrors are clear: enhanced safety and security can be provided through privacy. These matte, blackout, and mirror films limit views through the glass on the building interior. Because these films come in rolls, they can be cut into numerous decorative designs and can provide an updated look, while maintaining the privacy desired.

One of the biggest benefits of privacy window film is the ability to be creative with your space and give it a custom look. We regularly receive requests from customers to install bands or stripes of frosted window film, which is simply not possible with privacy or frosted glass. 

Relax In Improved Safety & Privacy

When it comes to your home, you have every reason to expect it to be safe and private. A place where you can get away from the stresses of life, relax and be comfortable. You deserve to feel secure in your home, free from the wandering eyes of passers-by, neighbours who happen to be driving or passing by or maybe even just from people who are potentially up to no good.
