Frosted film: protects from view without darkening

The frosted film provides protection from prying eyes while letting in soft, diffused light. This day-and-night privacy window film is highly effective against prying eyes, providing 24-hour privacy. It also blurs glances from near and far.


The frosted film filters glances by transforming the pane into real sandblasted glass: it blurs the view. This film is particularly popular in doctors' surgeries, intimate rooms in the home, glazed offices and commercial premises. These are sensitive areas where visitors prefer to remain out of sight.

The one-way mirror film: seeing without being seen

Thanks to its specific composition, one-way mirror film turns glass into a real mirror, enhancing your privacy. This anti-glare window film is very useful for a window overlooking the street, or a bay window, for example.


When you're inside, the transparency of the glass is preserved, allowing you to keep your view of the outside world. From inside the room, you can see what's happening on the other side. The magical effect is that you become invisible to the people outside!


Want tocombine privacy and decoration? Some window films are tinted to match your facade. For a decoration full of finesse and detail!


Important: Mirror effect film only works when the light is stronger outside than inside. So, at night, with the lights on indoors, the film is not visible.
