Frosted Glass
Frosted glass effect window film is a modern and stylish alternative to traditional net curtains. Ideal for privacy purposes or decoration, it is suitable for flat, non-textured glass windows. As well as stopping outsiders from looking in, it is also ideal for obscuring any unsightly buildings, traffic, etc., that may be visible from your window, offering two-way privacy day and night.
Whilst glass manifestation regulations do dictate where and when manifestation should appear, there are no requirements as to how it should appear. This allows flexibility when deciding on your design. As long as the film chosen provides a contrast between its appearance and that of the glass, it serves its purpose by making the glass apparent. With a wide range of films offered, it is possible to be creative with your choice.

Reeded Window Film
Reeded window film is a type of decorative window treatment that features a textured, ribbed, or vertical pattern. The "reeded" effect mimics the look of glass with thin, raised ridges, which diffuse light while offering privacy. This film is typically applied to windows to obscure the view from the outside, making it a popular choice for bathrooms, offices, or any space where privacy is desired but natural light is still needed.
The textured surface of reeded film can also add a modern or stylish aesthetic to a room, giving it a more elegant or sophisticated feel. It is available in various colours and thicknesses, allowing for customisation based on the amount of privacy or light control needed. Reeded window film can be easily applied, is removable, and is often more affordable and easier to maintain than traditional window treatments like blinds or curtains.
Temporary Block Out
If you're looking to promote the grand opening of a new business or simply need to cover windows during construction, temporary window graphics and removable stickers from Vision offer the ideal solution. These versatile and easy-to-apply designs are not only perfect for temporary branding but also provide an effective way to maintain privacy and protect your space while renovations or work are underway. Whether you need attention-grabbing advertisements or discreet coverings, Vision's products combine functionality with style to suit your needs.
