Instant Privacy, Zero Construction
Need privacy in a bathroom, office, or front entry but don't want to replace the glass? Frosted Window Film is the intelligent, cost-effective solution. Unlike etching (which damages the glass permanently) or replacing the unit (which is costly), professional film application mimics the look of premium sandblasted glass at a fraction of the price. Installix provides expert frosted film application in Pickering, delivering a smooth, bubble-free finish that looks exactly like factory-frosted glass.
Why Choose Film Over Glass Replacement?
Cost Efficiency
Applying architectural film costs significantly less than manufacturing and installing new thermal glass units. It's the perfect solution for tenants, budget-conscious renovations, or large commercial projects.
Reversibility
Ideally suited for retail spaces or rental homes. If your needs change or you move out, the film can be professionally removed without damaging the underlying glass, restoring it to clear.
Design Flexibility
We can cut film to any shape. Want a clear border? A logo cut-out? A distraction band? Film allows for custom designs that are difficult or impossible with traditional acid etching.
The Solution: Professional Installation
DIY film often peels, bubbles, and turns yellow. We use premium architectural-grade films (like 3M or Avery) that are UV stable and scratch-resistant. Our installation process ensures the film bonds molecularly to the glass for a finish that lasts 10-15 years.
Why Choose Installix?
- Dust-Free Application: The enemy of film is dust. We clean the glass and surrounding frame meticulously to ensure zero debris is trapped under the film.
- Perfect Edges: We cut the film with a slight micro-gap (1/16") from the edge to prevent peeling while making it look like the glass was frosted at the factory.
- Warranty: Our films come with manufacturer warranties against peeling, bubbling, and discoloration.

Our Process: Clean & Quick
Step 1: Surface Prep
We razor-scrape the glass to remove paint specks, dirt, and residue. This is the most critical step.
Step 2: Application
We wet-apply the film, squeegeeing out the mounting solution to bond the film to the glass.
Step 3: Trimming
We hand-trim the edges for a perfect fit. The film cures over 1-2 weeks to a permanent bond.
Pricing Factors
- Square Footage: Pricing is generally per square foot installed.
- Access: High windows requiring ladders or scaffolding add labor costs.
- French Panes: "Cut-ups" (many small panes) are time-intensive to film and trim individually.
