You deal with one team throughout, wherever in Kent the job happens to be.

From £32 per m² + VAT · UK guide price

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.

Why choose frosted window film in Kent?

  • Is the back office of your Maidstone shop visible from the till? A frosted panel on the glazed door hides paperwork without blocking light.
  • If you lease a unit on a Maidstone business park, peel-off film helps you hand the glass back clear at the end.
  • In a listed Maidstone building, we ask the council before frosting historic windows, as altering their look can need consent.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Kent

Two sets of rules can touch glass graphics in England. The first is advertisement control: lettering and graphics on the inside of a shop window are often outside it or allowed, but councils differ, and conservation areas and listed shopfronts can bring restrictions on large graphics. The second is safety. Approved Document K points to manifestation bands at 850–1000 mm and 1400–1600 mm from the floor, and in workplaces regulation 14 of the 1992 Workplace Regulations requires glazing to be marked where needed. We take both into account when we set out the proof, and we check with the council where the building or street calls for it.

Frosted window film in Kent: questions

Is frosted film suitable for washrooms?

Yes, it's a common use. Choose a denser film for full privacy, especially in rooms used after dark. Condensation doesn't harm properly fitted film, but wipe it down and keep the room ventilated so the edges aren't left wet for long periods.

Do you work across Kent or only in Maidstone?

Across all of Kent, and the rest of the UK too. Maidstone is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Can I get a fixed price for frosted window film in Maidstone before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £32 to £68 per m² excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

Will frosted film stick to textured glass?

Not reliably. Frosted film needs smooth, flat glass to bond fully; on textured or patterned glass it bridges the dips, traps air and soon lifts. If one side of the glass is smooth, the film can usually go on that side instead.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on frosted window film happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Maidstone once materials are ordered.

How much does frosted window film cost?

Plain frosted film has a guide price of £32–£48 per m², and film with a cut-out design £45–£68 per m², supplied and fitted, excluding VAT. Small jobs have a £225 + VAT minimum. Your fixed price is confirmed after a survey and design approval.
