Testimonials
What Cape Town Homes and Businesses Are Saying
Our glass meeting rooms now have proper privacy, and we added our logo in the frosting. Clients notice it straight away.
R. Van der Merwe
Office manager · Cape Town CBD
The glass panels beside our front door let everyone see straight into the house. The frosted film keeps the light and lost the audience. It looks like it came with the house.
L. De Jager
Homeowner · Diep River
We frosted the glass panels in our front door and the entrance looks so much more upmarket. Neighbours keep asking who did it.
C. Sekgoto
Apartment Tenant · Brackenfell
The frosted lower panels in the dining area give our guests privacy from passers-by but keep the space light and open.
N. Botha
Restaurant Owner · Tygervalley
We frosted the boardroom and reception glass. It looks sharp, and staff stopped feeling on display. The team was punctual and left no mess.
A. Malebane
Receptionist · Durbanvlle Office
Nick and his team were professional from start to finish. The product is top quality and installation was done in record time. We will definitely be using them for all future jobs.

FAQ's
Window Frosting Questions, Answered
How much does window frosting cost in Cape Town?
Window frosting in Cape Town starts from R199 per square metre installed for plain privacy film, from R289/m² for decorative patterns, and from R349/m² for custom branded designs. Final pricing depends on glass size, access, and design complexity, confirmed with a free on-site or photo-based quote.
Does window frosting block all light?
No. Frosted film diffuses natural light rather than blocking it, so your room stays bright while gaining full privacy.
Can window frosting be removed without damaging my glass?
Yes, our frosting film is a removable vinyl that doesn’t damage or etch the glass, so it can be taken off or replaced at any time. Quality film peels off cleanly when it’s time for a change, without harming the glass and any leftover adhesive is easy to clean off.
How long does sandblast vinyl installation take?
Most residential and small office jobs are completed in a single visit, usually within a few hours depending on the number and size of windows. Larger commercial jobs may take a day or 2. We will confirm timing with your quote.
Is window frosting suitable for offices and shopfronts?
Yes, frosting is widely used in offices for meeting room privacy and in shopfronts for a mix of branding and discretion without closing off the store.
Do you offer custom logos or designs on frosted glass?
Yes, our in-house design team can frost your logo or tagline onto the glass as part of the installation. We can cut custom patterns, stripes, privacy bands, etc, so your glass can look branded and professional instead of just plain frosted. Send us your artwork or ask for design ideas.
Do you service areas outside Cape Town city centre?
Yes, we install window frosting across the greater Cape Town metro area — contact us to confirm your specific suburb.
Why do you show prices when other companies don't?
We believe you should know roughly what to expect before you contact us. Our published prices are genuine starting points — we confirm your exact price upfront, before any work is booked, so there are no surprises.
Will people be able to see in at night?
With the lights on inside and darkness outside, some silhouettes can show through any frosted film. For full night-time privacy, we can recommend a denser frosting or a pattern with more coverage.
How long does it last?
Quality frosted vinyl typically lasts 5-7 years on interior glass. Lifespan depends on the film and the sun exposure, and we’ll tell you honestly which option suits your windows.
How much does window frosting cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your glass and the film or design you choose, but it’s a fraction of the price of, blinds, etched or replacement glass. Send us your measurements or a photo for a free, no-obligation quote within 24 hours
How do I clean frosted windows?
Use a soft cloth or squeegee with mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals. It’s much easier than cleaning curtains or blinds.
Does window frosting let light in?
Yes. Frosted film diffuses light rather than blocking it, so rooms stay bright while people outside can’t see in. That makes it a good fit for bathrooms, offices and street-facing windows.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
We will fix any installation fault at no charge. We would rather put it right than have you settle for less, so we check every job before we leave.
