Etched Glass Window Film

Etched glass window films provide an excellent option for both aesthetics and functionality. Not only can these unique films add a layer of privacy, sun control, and energy savings, but they also offer a tasteful option that can enhance the curb appeal of any building or dwelling.

Etched window film and glass finishes come in many different styles, so it can be difficult to choose a certain product for a given application. To help provide some inspiration and direction, below are five products from the 3M™ FASARA™ series worth considering.

Yamato

Whether for conference rooms, private offices, partitions, or verandas, Yamato delivers a semi-frosted, etched glass look that’s ideal for windows that require additional privacy. Yamato is perfect for spaces that have classic and historic charm, but can also suit more contemporary and modern applications.

Yamato is a great option for a uniquely-textured look that adds character to any glass window or door.

Prism Silver

Prism Silver is one of many different geometric designs that’s ideally suited for decorative applications. Next to its counterpart Prism Noir that has a greater shading effect, Prism Silver provides a visually-stunning option that’s suitable for both interior and exterior windows.

In addition having 3D design effects that stands out among certain backdrops, Prism Silver is a functional option that blocks almost 50% of solar heat transmittance.  

Seattle

For a more linear design, Seattle is an etched window film option that’s uniquely tailored with faded vertical textures and an edgier personality. Its wavy style is reminiscent of sandy beach waves but in a congruent, dissolving effect that provides uniformity and consistency.

While the applications for Seattle might better suited for select retail and commercial environments, this product offers a creative way to enhance the look of standard glass pains.  

Mat Crystal I

As a popular option for privacy applications, the Mat Crystal I is also one of 50+ different 3M™ FASARA™ Glass Finishes that transforms plain glass into the look of cut or textured glass at a fraction of the price. It’s counterpart, Mat Crystal II, offers a slightly different fade effect that provides great transparency.

This decorative finish can be used to control sunlight and privacy while enhancing interior aesthetics. The versatility of this window treatment also allows you to tailor the level of privacy a space possesses. Both Mat Crystal products are some of the best choices for a frosted window film with faded transparency.

Altair

As a level-up from Yamato, Altair is an etched window film that defines frosted privacy glass. Altair truly captures the frozen-over look and feel of textured glass with random etches similar to that of an ice surface.
