Frosted glass in the shower and on the balcony
Hello, everyone! We recently moved into a new apartment, and it turns out that the window on the neighboring balcony looks directly into our bathroom and part of our balcony. Clear glass offers no sense of privacy at all, and I really don’t want to hang heavy curtains or blinds in a damp room because they constantly get dirty and collect dust. My neighbor suggested applying a frosted film, since it’s cheaper than replacing the entire window unit. Has anyone installed something like this themselves—is it difficult? I also forgot to ask how it holds up in a humid environment and whether it starts to peel at the corners over time due to steam from a hot shower.

It’s a very common problem—we installed frosted glass partitions in our office, and then did the same on the first floor of our home. As for installing it yourself—it’s really not complicated at all. The main thing is to wash the glass thoroughly and spray it generously with soapy water before applying the film so you can smooth out any bubbles evenly. It’s not affected by moisture at all if it’s high-quality; we’ve had it up in our bathroom for two years now, and not a single corner has peeled up. You can check out the selection at https://www.tintfit.com/shop/frosted ; they have various options in terms of thickness and patterns to suit any interior. They let in plenty of daylight, but from the outside, you can’t see anything at all except for blurred silhouettes. Do you have a large glassed-in area there?
