Easyfix Privacy Frost Window Film
Easyfix Privacy Frost Window Film is a quick and easy solution for your privacy needs. Suitable for indoor use, the self adhesive nature allows for year round fitting to the existing glass or more removable option when fitting to a secondary glazing panel. This options allows for you to remove and replace when desired.
The opaque nature of the privacy film allows light in while obscuring the details of your life from the gaze of people passing by, avoiding old fashioned net curtains and cumbersome blinds.
When you order the required amount of Privacy Frost it will arrive as just the single rolled length of 1220mm wide frosted film.
You can purchase our mini-installation kit separately and this includes a small squeegee blade, glass scraper and sharp knife to trim the film.
Measure the height and width of the glass/glazing panel that you wish to cover and order enough of the Privacy Frost to cover this.
The film is cut from a roll 1220mm wide so if your window is over that in height or width then you will need to order the appropriate length of film to cover the greater dimension. If you order 4 x 500mm, we will provide one piece 1220mm x 2000mm.
Tools required to fit are a squeegee blade, glass scraper and sharp knife(our installation kit) plus a sharp pair of scissors, tape measure, store card, spray bottle and a towel to absorb the excess water.
- Trim the Privacy Frost so you have roughly 20mm excess on each dimension.
- Clean the glass/glazing pane thoroughly using the soapy solution and a glass scarper to remove any specks of paint/dirt or stickers/coverings.
- Wet the entire area you wish to cover with the soapy solution, placing the towel along the bottom to absorb any excess.
- Lay the film face down on a flat surface and peel back a small amount of the liner to reveal the adhesive side and spray with the soapy solution.
- Spray your fingers to hold the film while peeling the rest of the liner and spray the adhesive side liberally as you remove it.
- Align the top edge and one side into position starting from that corner and smoothing the rest of the film into place.
- Spray the entire face of the Privacy Frost with the soapy solution to act as a lubricant before squeegeeing.
- Strating from the fitted corner squeeze out the solution using the felt edge squeegee from top to bottom and then side to side.
- Use a store card to guide the sharp knife along the edges that require trimming and then squeegee those edges again to ensure all of the solution between glass and film has been removed.
- Check both side for air bubbles, if possible, and if you need extra squeegeeing always lubricate the surface first.
I fitting the Privacy Frost directly to the polycarbonate glazing pane then it will be worth using the Antistatic spray once the protective films have been removed. This will help prevent any dust/small hairs being attracted to the sheet before fitting the film. Cover the entire glazing sheet with a little excess on each edge and then turn the sheet over to trim using the edge of the sheet as a guide.
Mini Installation kits, which include a small felt edged squeegee, a glass scraper and sharp knife to trim the film.
Antistatic Spray can be used to diffuse the static charge on the sheet when the film has been removed to help prevent the attraction of dust and particles from the air.
Microfibre cloths can be used to clean the sheets without scratching the glazing panels.
Can I fit the Privacy Frost to the secondary glazing pane rather than the original window glass?
Yes, you can fit to the secondary pane but please see comments in the fitting instructions section.
