What is Decorative Privacy Window Film?

By Blog No Comments

Decorative privacy window film is a very popular window tint in Oklahoma City. Privacy film is simply a thin layer of polyester or vinyl film that is applied or installed on to a smooth, glass surface such as a door, window or shower door. This film is also easily removable allowing you to change the look of your windows and space whenever you would like.

Decorative privacy film comes in a variety of patterns, colors and opacities.  Frost privacy film is a very common film we use for customers when they are looking for an updated look that still provides privacy. Frost film is great for not only privacy but also light diffusing and décor! Frost film is great because it is translucent that blocks visibility but still allows a percentage of light to come through.  A benefit to tinting your windows with privacy film is the film can be easily removed with the help of a professional.

Is Decorative Privacy Window Film a Cost Effective Options?

The answer to this question is a big YES! Let’s compare the price of frosted glass versus frosted decorative film: If you were to replace a standard window with a frosted tempered glass, you would be spending approximately $400-$500. If you were to keep the existing window and cover it with a standard frost film, you would be looking at a price of $75-$100 which includes installation. Now that is quote the difference. Most people don’t have to think long about which they would chose.

Privacy film provides a lot of options in terms of color, designs and privacy level. It is a much more cost effective option that factory etched glass. Give Oklahoma City Window Film a call and we can help you determine the best option for you in your home or office.
