Choosing the Right Tone for Frosted Films
Frosted Films
Let’s talk frosted films. They’re not just a decorative feature. They’re a solution—solving privacy concerns, transforming spaces, and giving glass surfaces a clean, sophisticated look. Whether you're outfitting a shower partition, sprucing up a meeting room, or creating privacy in your office, frosted films play a key role. But choosing the right one, especially when it comes to color tones, can make all the difference. Here’s what you should know.
Pale White and Deep White Frosted Films
You might think that all frosted films are the same—after all, they look similar at first glance. But the tones of a frosted film impact its performance and even its appearance. It influences how how much privacy it provides, and also for spaces that require light to enter into their space as much as possible.
Key Specifications to Consider
1. Film Model Series
215N (Translucent) or 216N (White): These models are the go-to for frosted series with a sandblast finish. The choice between translucent and white often comes down to aesthetics and privacy needs. While the translucent offers a softer, less opaque look, the white gives you maximum privacy with a crisp, clean finish.
2. Peel Adhesives and Application Ease
Peel Adhesives: Look for adhesive qualities like those in Softhome's frosted films. Peel adhesion strength should range between 0.70–1.10kg/inch, which ensures a strong hold without damaging the surface when removed.
Application Temperature: Applying films is not a one-season task. With an application temperature range from +8°C to +50°C, our films perform in both mild and warmer climates, providing flexibility for year-round installation.
3. Resistance and Durability
Frosted films are designed to last. Softhome’s frosted films go through rigorous testing to withstand a variety of conditions:
Humidity: No effect after 24 hours at 38°C/100% humidity.
Water & Seawater: Maintains its integrity after being submerged.
Detergent & Diesel Fuel: Resilient against common cleaning agents and fuel.
Battery Acid: No damage, even after exposure to this harsh substance.
Whether you're installing in a humid bathroom or a seaside property, these films are built to last without warping or fading.
Where to Use Frosted Films
Frosted films have incredible versatility. They’re not just for corporate offices—they're ideal for homes too. Let’s explore where these films excel:
1. Bathrooms and Shower Partitions
Need privacy in a shared bathroom or shower area? Frosted films provide the perfect balance. They obscure visibility without making the room feel closed off. Plus, they’re resistant to the moisture and cleaning products often used in these spaces.
2. Office Spaces
If you manage an open-plan office, you know the struggle. Sometimes, employees need privacy—whether it's for confidential meetings or simply to block distractions. Frosted films on meeting room glass walls or director’s offices create an effective barrier without making the office feel cramped.
3. Residential Privacy
In homes, frosted films are a lifesaver for areas like balconies, street-facing windows, or glass doors. They keep prying eyes out while still allowing light to filter through, creating a comfortable and stylish living space.
Actionable Tips for Choosing Your Frosted Film
Now that you know why thickness and quality matter, here are a few practical tips when selecting your frosted film:
Consider the Location: For high-traffic areas, such as meeting rooms or bathrooms, opt for a thicker film like Softhome’s 0.14mm model. It's durable and offers better privacy.
Match the Aesthetic: For a subtle look, choose translucent films. If you need more privacy, go for the white variant. The sandblast finish also adds a premium feel to the space and it keeps the look simple.
Installation: Pay attention to the application temperature range. Softhome films can be applied in temperatures as low as +8°C and up to +50°C, meaning they're flexible for different environments.
