Frosted Window Film for Balcony Glass in Housing Association Development

A national housing association constructing a new residential development required frosted window film on 40 glass balconies to ensure privacy for its occupants.

Glass remains a popular choice among architects and developers due to its contemporary, stylish, and modern appearance—particularly when used for balcony design. However, while glass offers strong visual appeal, it can also create privacy concerns.

Frosted window film provides an effective, attractive, and versatile solution, creating an elegant satin-frost finish ideal for balconies overlooking neighbouring properties or unsightly views. In addition to improved privacy, the film offers several practical benefits, including UV protection, bird-strike prevention, and moisture resistance—helping to create a more enjoyable and comfortable outdoor space.

This type of film enhances privacy without compromising natural light, improves the overall appearance of glazing, and enables architects and contractors to maintain a modern design aesthetic. As a result, frosted window film remains a reliable and practical way to address glass-related challenges in both new-build and existing developments.

With over 26 years of experience in the window film industry, we professionally supply and install high-quality window films for residential, commercial, and public-sector projects.
