Is Window Film Good for Privacy?

March 13, 2023 by Carol S Leave a Comment

Yes, window film can be used for privacy. It can be applied to glass surfaces to obscure the view into a space, while still allowing light to pass through. There are different types of privacy window film available, such as frosted or tinted film, and they can be used in both residential and commercial settings. Here are some things you might not have considered when considering window film for privacy.

Is Window Film Good for Privacy?

Window film doesn’t clutter up your space

If you’re living in a small space, or are thinking about window film for an awkward room, window film won’t add to your clutter. You could put curtains on your window, but curtains will collect dust and require more maintenance than window film. Plus, you can actually use window film as part of your decor, since films come in different colors and can add to the look of your space.

Window film has a clean look

If you’re a minimalist, or even if you’re not, window film doesn’t even show. In fact, the great thing about window film is you don’t usually know it’s there! Unless you do it yourself and/or there are lots of bubbles or peeling. In which case, maybe consider hiring a pro! We know someone great! lol

How about window film for a balcony?

Are you tired of people on the street staring into your balcony? Use window film to block or partially block the view into your place. We wrote about using window film for patios and balconies before. Take a look! After all, many homes in the San Francisco Bay Area, are short on space, so it’s important that you have privacy.

If you can see your neighbor, they can see you, too!

Add privacy window film for a dentist’s office

We just chose dentist’s office because our dentist uses window film for privacy. But there’s really no limit to the places where window film could add privacy. For instance, we’ve seen it used as airports where people are charging their devices. And the added benefit is that it doesn’t require much in terms of permits, drawings, etc. We can even help you choose the perfect window film for your space.

You can choose a light window film

You don’t need to have a dark window film to get privacy, which goes against what some people believe. We’re not saying you’re “some people,” but you never know.

What’s the best privacy film?

We’re very fond of 3M Fasara window film. And you can read more about 3M Fasara window film in a series we wrote in the not-too-distant past. Many types are decorative, so you can have your privacy and beauty as well. It’s like having your cake and eating it, too!
