Hello everyone,
I’m currently thinking about options for privacy protection on our bathroom window.
Clear glass would be my preference because it suits the uniform façade design, but my partner finds curtains impractical in the bathroom. He leans towards frosted glass.
Now I’ve come across frosted window film, which can be applied afterward. The advantage is that I could install it only once I’m in the finished house and realize that privacy is really an issue. It could also be applied only to the lower part of the pane.
My concern is whether the film might eventually peel off due to moisture from steam (and I like long, hot showers...).
Has anyone had experience with this? Or are there completely different ideas for privacy solutions?
Thanks in advance!

There are films available in all patterns, colors, and finishes. I have several in the bathroom and workshop (office). None of them have ever peeled off, not even a little.
Installation is easy if you use a wet method. Just fill a spray bottle with water and add a single drop of dish soap. Spray the surface thoroughly (a liquid film must be present). Place the film and slide it into position until it fits. Of course, order the film to size. This usually looks better at the edges than cutting it yourself. However, it can also be done with a very sharp utility knife.
In the bathroom (apartment) on the first floor, I covered nearly half the window with a "stained glass pattern," which gives a nice light effect.

...If the bathroom is on the ground floor, maybe consider privacy screening with plants?F

knalltüte1 Sep 2020 14:32Hello, I ordered my first adhesive films with the design "d-c-fix Glass, Bamboo White, 67.5cm (27 inches) x 1500cm (590 inches), self-adhesive" from Amazon. It was for the bathroom in the office. The other one (for the bathroom in the apartment) was available on eBay with the design "Glass Decor Window Film, D-C-Fix, Tulia, Privacy Film, Stained Glass". The seller was called "Schmolke Folientechnik".
