Who doesn’t enjoy allowing natural sunlight to fill a room? It makes any room look better than using artificial light. Plus it just makes us feel better. But what do you do if your sun filled window faces a busy street or a neighbor’s house? You want to let the light in of course, but you do want your privacy to, right? Closing the shades or blinds defeats the purpose of letting to light. So how do you solve this problem? Try installing opaque window film on those windows.
You have seen opaque window film used before. You may have seen it in a doctor’s office in that little window the receptionist has. When she closes that window, you notice you can’t see into that area. That’s an example of opaque window film. It is also referred to as frosted window film.
Adding window film to any window in your home isn’t expensive. Depending on the style of film you want, you can do a window for under $30.
Using window film will allow most of the sunlight to come into your home, but prevents people from being able to look into your home.
There are many styles to choose from. You can get the basic white frosted look. This would be a solid sheet of frosting with no designs in it. You can find window film with etchings in it to give different look. It will have little designs of clears leaves for example to break up the pattern.
If you want to be a little bolder, you can find window film with colorful designs in them. You can give your window or glass door the look of stained glass. This affords you privacy plus a very nice looking window too.
You do not need to hire anyone to install it. Read the directions carefully and it is helpful to have another set of hands with you to make installation easier. In less than 30 minutes, you can change the look of your windows.
