Common Questions
Decorative & Privacy FAQ
What's the difference between frosted film and real frosted glass?
Frosted window film costs 80-90% less than replacing windows with actual frosted or etched glass, and installation takes hours instead of weeks. The visual effect is virtually identical. Film can also be removed or changed later if your design needs evolve.
How does Smart Tint switchable privacy work?
Smart Tint uses PDLC (polymer-dispersed liquid crystal) technology. When no power is applied, the film is frosted/opaque. When powered on, the film becomes clear. You can control it via wall switch, remote, smartphone app, or integrate it with building automation systems.
Can you apply decorative film to existing glass?
Yes—that's the primary advantage. Decorative film transforms existing glass without replacement. We install on interior glass walls, conference room windows, lobby glass, storefronts, and more. Installation is quick and minimally disruptive.
What patterns are available in decorative film?
3M Fasara offers hundreds of patterns including gradients, geometric designs, textured looks, and specialty finishes. We also create custom graphics with company logos or brand elements. We bring samples so you can see options in your space.
Does privacy film block natural light?
Frosted films diffuse light rather than blocking it, so rooms stay bright while views are obscured. Most offices report the light quality actually improves—softer and more evenly distributed—after frosted film installation.
How much does commercial privacy film cost?
Standard frosted film runs $10-15 per square foot installed. 3M Fasara decorative films range from $12-20/sqft depending on pattern. Smart Tint switchable film is $75-150/sqft due to the technology involved. We provide free site surveys with exact pricing.
