Question

What is the difference between Frosted Etched Vinyl and clear window clings?

Answer

Both are made for smooth glass, but they create very different looks and attach in different ways. Frosted etched vinyl mimics sandblasted glass for privacy, while clear window clings stay see-through so your graphics float over the view behind them.

  • Choose frosted etched vinyl when you want to block sightlines and add a premium etched-glass effect.
  • Choose clear window clings when the design should read while people still see through the glass.
