Product Description
Contra Vision Frosted Privacy Film — Light Frost delivers a softly etched, sandblasted glass appearance that softens sightlines while letting daylight flood through. With 90% visible light transmission and a 3/5 privacy rating, Light Frost is the go-to choice for glazed meeting rooms, office partitions, and any space where natural light is critical but a measure of privacy is still required.
Objects in close proximity to the glass remain noticeable. Anything a few feet beyond the glass softens to a blurred outline — enough to obscure activity and identity without creating a dark, closed-off feel.
Key Features
- Polymeric PVC face film — durable, dimensionally stable, conformable
- 100µm (4 mil) film thickness — substantial feel without being bulky
- Single PET liner with silicone release for clean handling and lay-down
- Unperforated — solid coverage with uniform light diffusion
- REACH compliant
- 60 in × 33 ft roll size — covers approximately 165 sq ft per roll
Applications
Light Frost is engineered for any glass surface where soft visual privacy must coexist with abundant natural light.
- Office partitions and conference rooms — privacy without the cave effect
- Glazed meeting rooms and huddle spaces — daylight in, distractions out
- Executive offices and private workspaces — discreet without being closed
- Medical and dental consultation rooms — patient privacy with a bright, calm atmosphere
- Retail fitting and showroom areas — soft separation that preserves brand aesthetics
- Residential — bathrooms, sidelights, stairwell windows, glass entry doors
- Hospitality and wellness — spa treatment rooms, salon studios, restaurant private dining
- Branded environments — overprint with logos, patterns, or wayfinding for a custom architectural finish
Printable for Custom Graphics
Unlike most privacy films, Light Frost is designed for in-house printing on latex and UV inkjet platforms. That opens up a wide range of revenue-generating applications for sign shops and graphics studios:
- Etched-glass-effect logos and corporate branding
- Decorative pattern overlays — gradients, dot matrices, geometric motifs
- Wayfinding and room identification graphics
- Custom privacy bands for storefronts and offices
- Hospitality menu boards, retail brand walls, and trade show booth glazing

- Minimum application temperature: 50°F (10°C). Glass surface and ambient air should both be at or above this temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
How private is Light Frost compared to other frost films?
Light Frost is rated 3/5 on Contra Vision's privacy scale. Close-up details (within roughly arm's reach of the glass) are still recognizable as shapes; anything a few feet beyond the glass appears as a soft, blurred silhouette. For heavier privacy where forms and movement should also be obscured, step up to Medium Frost (60% VLT) or Heavy Frost (30% VLT).
Can I print on this film?
Yes — Light Frost is fully compatible with latex and UV inkjet printers. This makes it ideal for branded glass treatments, decorative pattern overlays, and wayfinding graphics. It is not recommended for solvent or eco-solvent inks.
Inside or outside application — which is better?
Both work. Interior application is preferred when possible because it protects the film from weather and physical damage, yielding the full 5-year service life. Exterior application is offered for situations where interior access isn't practical or where signage/branding needs to face outward; expect up to 3 years of life in that configuration.
Will the frost effect be uniform across the glass?
Yes. Light Frost provides consistent, uniform light diffusion across the entire applied surface — no streaks, banding, or hotspots when correctly installed.
How many windows will one roll cover?
A 60 in × 33 ft roll yields approximately 165 sq ft of usable material. That covers roughly 3–5 office partition panels, 6–10 average office sidelights, or 8–12 average residential windows, depending on glass size and trim allowances.
Is a larger roll size available?
Yes. Light Frost is also offered in a 60 in × 100 ft (FEPYC90-152-30) roll for larger projects. Contact KG Supplies for pricing and availability.
Is the film removable?
Frosted Privacy films are designed for long-term application but can be removed when needed. Removal is easier from interior installations and on smooth, non-porous glass. Heat may aid removal of older or sun-aged film.
