Privacy Etch Film installed on glass office walls by Iconography Studios. We are proud to have designed, produced and installed these custom frosted glass patterns on glass-walled conference rooms and offices at the Rockley Photonics offices located in an historic building in Pasadena, CA.
Etched or frosted vinyl graphics are an easy and economical way to give your glass windows, walls or other glass items a custom look. The etched vinyl is easily applied to the glass surface, and can be removed if necessary without leaving any permanent marks on the glass.

Etched or frosted vinyl graphics are a very popular part of many different types of commercial and residential interior design projects as they combine the functionality of privacy with the aesthetics of custom design. E
Etched film for glass walls creates the look of actual etched glass but is a more affordable and removable vinyl material that can be custom-cut into patterns, logos, and designs to add privacy, branding, or aesthetic appeal to interior and exterior glass surfaces. This decorative film offers a durable, high-quality alternative to costly, permanent chemical etching, allowing for easy application and removal to transform glass partitions, windows, and doors without extensive remodels.
Etch Film: How it Works
- Vinyl-Based Etch Film: The film is a specialized vinyl or polyester-based material that adheres to glass surfaces.
- Customizable: It can be custom-printed with logos, company colors, text, and intricate designs.
- Mimics Etched Glass: The film provides a frosted or etched appearance, obscuring views and adding visual interest without actually altering the glass.
The etched or frosted vinyl that we prefer to use is manufactured by both 3M and Avery, and comes is a variety of shades, densities and patterns. The film comes in large rolls up to 48″ wide by many yards long. We can then custom cut that material on our plotters into just about any shape, as well as incorporate logos, lettering and numbers.
