Frosted window film is a translucent, etch-effect self-adhesive film that blurs the view through glass while still letting daylight pass, giving the look of sandblasted glass without replacing it.
Reasons to choose frosted window film in Tranent
- If you lease a unit on a Tranent business park, peel-off film helps you hand the glass back clear at the end.
- Is the back office of your Tranent shop visible from the till? A frosted panel on the glazed door hides paperwork without blocking light.
- In a listed Tranent building, we ask the council before frosting historic windows, as altering their look can need consent.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Tranent
Scottish planning authorities vary on whether window graphics count as advertisements. Much internal vinyl is outside control or allowed, but a conservation area or listed frontage can restrict larger graphics, and listed building consent may be relevant too. Safety is the other consideration. Scotland's building standards have their own guidance on making glazing visible, while in workplaces the 1992 Workplace Regulations (regulation 14) require marking where necessary. Before the proof for frosted window film is approved, we confirm the heights for any manifestation and raise any planning point with you.
