What affects the cost of window frosting?

High windows, shopfronts or glass that needs scaffolding or ladders take longer.

Is window frosting in Cape Town worth the cost?
Compared with replacing glass, building walls or fitting custom blinds, frosting is usually a practical, flexible way to gain privacy and improve the look of a space. Given some of the extreme heat waves we experience in summer, window frosting is a viable option: it dims the light and also protects furniture and other valuables. It also adds branding value for businesses.
