Wanted frosted glass

Tam · May 21, 2007 11:56 am

I was just hoping for some help here.

I have just had my feature doors delivered and they are clear not frosted as I thought they would be. These are for the bedroom (double doors), linen and pantry. I therefor do not want the visitors to see into them.

I have looked back on my contract and it does say clear so I guess it's just my oversight. I do remeber telling them I wanted the ones like the display.

Is it very expensive to get the glass replaced or what is the frosted coating stuff like that you can put on it.

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks guys

I started googling too.

I love the look of the etched glass, some of them you can make it more personal and design something for yourself.

I wish I was more artistic in that way.

It it easy to install? What about bubbles in the material?

All you need is water, a squeegee and a razor blade and the rest is easy!!

The company i mentioned sent me out a sample and it looks really easy to apply!!

Hi

I bought my frosting film on eBay. It worked perfectly. Just remember to keep the glass thoroughly soaked AND your hands.

Good luck!

Ed, you got any pics of yours? Just curious to see how it turned out. If not, all good.

yeah that would be good to see some photos and from anyone else.

I just don't want it to look like all my other DIY jobs! lol

You know how you want the house looking just so.

What about etching or pictures on glass.

You can see some pretty funky designs on shop windows, would this work in residential homes?

Anyone have any experience on this?

I got a sample of the Ezi Tint and think it would be great for bathrooms or small windows but on such a large area would not look as good in my opinion.

Hi
We are considering offering this service - I think if you talk to someone who does vinyl signs you should be able to get what you want. The frosted vinyl sign material can be used to produce some interesting effects - you see this on a lot of commercial offices etc...

Thanks
