This type of vinyl allows some light to pass through the glass. It softens the outside light enough to make it tolerable to the naked eye, even in a sunny location. The vinyl diffuses sunlight so that it lessens the overall intensity, eliminating glare and deep shadows, which helps block out sunlight in west or east-facing windows.
Etched glass makes a house look classy and can improve the overall aesthetic of your office. It's such a simple way to enhance a space. While the effect is highly noticeable, it's also an understated feature that adds just enough to create an impeccable atmosphere.
A translucent window surface with etched glass vinyl allows some light to pass through, but it's opaque enough to obscure the details. You can only see shapes and general outlines of people and objects through an etched glass window, whereas a transparent window cannot provide privacy.
Etched glass vinyl is a popular choice for conference rooms and other office settings for these reasons. The element of privacy it provides makes employees feel comfortable and also limits wandering eyes to outdoor distractions.
Vinyl is highly customizable and with the proper tools, you can shape it however you want. You can cut edges and curves into the vinyl so it will fit perfectly over your glass. With the help of a plotter cutter, you can add words or logos to highlight your brand or create a unique design.
Etched vinyl prevents people from seeing outside the glass, which might be desirable for hiding an unappealing outdoor view. If the space outside of the window is less manicured than you would prefer for a classy location, coating the windows with vinyl is one way to avoid it.
Compared with frosted glass or other solutions, etched glass vinyl is the option that saves the most money to buy and install. You can also install it yourself to avoid service charges.
Furthermore, vinyl offers a temporary application that is also durable and fully replaceable. You can switch out the vinyl film yourself with updated graphics or wait years down the line to update it.

It was easy to cut and install. Will definitely order more!
The product cuts and installs really well and quite easily. I am unhappy that RVinyl did not ship the order correctly, nor did they care to rush shipment of short product. It appears USPS is the only option they are willing to ship.
