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.
The case for frosted window film in Portsmouth
- Ground-floor offices on a Portsmouth street can frost the lower half of each window, keeping desks private while daylight comes in above.
- In a listed Portsmouth building, we ask the council before frosting historic windows, as altering their look can need consent.
- If you lease a unit on a Portsmouth business park, peel-off film helps you hand the glass back clear at the end.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Portsmouth
Most businesses ask two things about glass: do I need permission, and does it need marking? On permission, councils in England take differing views on window graphics; inside-the-glass work is often outside control or allowed, while big graphics on listed shopfronts or in conservation areas can be restricted. We check before you commit. On marking, Approved Document K recommends manifestation at 850–1000 mm and 1400–1600 mm above floor level on glazing people could walk into, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 (regulation 14) cover transparent surfaces at work. Our proof shows the heights, so you can see the result before anything is cut.
