Privacy frosting film
A sand blast or acid-etched appearance that blocks vision in both directions while natural light still comes through — the standard treatment for partitions, meeting rooms and street-facing glass.
Window frost film
Custom made frost window film.
Plan privacy frosting, cut-out and printed frost graphics and glass manifestation strips as one film, artwork and installation decision — using 3M, Orafol and Avery films.
Film selection, artwork and installation scoped together.

Choose the frosting treatment
Privacy, branding or compliance — the film does different jobs.
These three treatment paths cover most frosting projects. The right one depends on how much privacy the glass needs, whether branding or artwork is involved, and whether the glazing has a compliance requirement.
Cut-out and printed frost graphics
Logos, lettering and patterns cut from the frost itself, vinyl applied over it, or full-colour designs printed onto print-grade frost films for branded glazing.
Glass manifestation strips
Frosted bands applied to glass partitions and doors so the glass is clearly visible where required for safety compliance — produced and installed for offices and fit-outs across Australia.
Privacy without losing light
The finish depends on the film — and the install.
This fading gradient frost screens the meeting table at eye level while the top of the glass stays clear, so the pod reads private without going dark. Getting that result is a film-selection and installation job: panel measurement, edge alignment and a bubble-free application across every pane.
For complex projects and bigger panels we always recommend professional installation — with our own installers in Sydney and a contractor network across Australia.

Yes. Frosted film has a sand blast or acid-etched appearance that prevents vision in both directions, giving maximum privacy while natural light still comes through — which is why it is so popular for office partitions, meeting rooms and street-facing glass at home.
We use premium material only. Our best-seller is 3M Haze frost film, we carry a number of options from the 3M Fasara range, and we also work with Orafol and Avery, both well known leading brands.
Yes. Some of the frost films we work with are specifically designed for printing over, and we can also apply cut-out vinyl over the frost or cut logos, lettering and patterns out of the film itself. The effect is immediate once installation is completed, and it is long lasting and very durable.
Manifestation strips are the frosted bands applied to glass partitions and doors so the glass is clearly visible where required for safety compliance. We produce and install them for offices and fit-outs across Australia.
For more complex projects involving bigger panels we always suggest using our professional installers — frosted graphics are not that straightforward to perfectly install unless you have the right tools and set of skills. We provide remove and install frost film services anywhere in Australia, with our own installers in Sydney and a wide network of contractors across the country.
