Description PP40
Short description
Frosted glass privacy window film is used in areas where privacy is required. Examples include bathrooms, toilet windows, showers, offices, hospitals, etc. As the PP40 allows light to pass through, the room will not become darker. You can expect visibility and shadows to disappear completely at a distance of 15-20 cm from the window. Even when it is dark outside and the lights are on inside, the frosted glass effect film continues to prevent visibility from outside. Frosted glass privacy window film is completely moisture-resistant and therefore also highly suitable for use in humid areas, such as bathrooms. The PP40 is a self-adhesive frosted window film, which means that the film has an adhesive layer. In addition to providing privacy, the PP40 also offers 22% glare reduction. This means that the frosted glass effect film significantly improves visibility on computer screens or televisions, for example, when sunlight shines on the glass.
Application
Once the frosted glass window film has been applied, its colour closely resembles that of frosted glass. The PP40 has a matte white colour. This is the colour most commonly used in the glass industry to prevent visibility from outside. Thanks to its subtle colour, the PP40 frosted window film rarely affects the architecture of a building. The matte finish of the film creates a pleasant distribution of natural light. Light enters through the film in a scattered manner, also known as diffused light. The matte white colour of the PP40 gives your home or office building a luxurious appearance. Frosted glass has long been used in the construction of luxury buildings. With the PP40, it is very easy to achieve the same result without replacing the original glass with frosted glass. The PP40 is an interior film, which means that it must be applied to the interior side of the glass.
Cleaning-
For cleaning window film, we recommend using SCALASOL® TO-CLEAN. This specially developed window film cleaner can be used in combination with a soft cloth or window squeegee. Avoid harsh chemicals such as ammonia or bleach, as these can damage the film. Instead, use a mild cleaning agent or a diluted solution of water with a small amount of dishwashing liquid.

* The light measurements (VLT & VLR) were performed using laboratory equipment and are based on monochromatic light. However, it is important to emphasise that these results should be interpreted differently in practical use. Therefore, below we provide a realistic indication of light transmission in practical applications on a bright, sunlit summer day.
