Window Privacy Film Project In Melbourne
Whether you live in a high rise apartment, a unit or you've built a brand new home in the suburbs, everyone wants to maximise the amount of natural light in their living spaces. Opening up your home to light brings the outdoors, indoors and can also help save on energy bills. The downside of all this wonderful life giving, energy saving natural light is when it impacts you or your neighbours privacy. While you relish the idea of taking a shower with a view of the trees, your neighbours don't want to see you singing in the shower from their balcony!The Solution? - Window Privacy Film
Window privacy film is an affordable, versatile and great looking solution for solving overlooking issues with neighbours and providing privacy, without blocking the light. Over the last 15 years the popularity of window privacy film has grown exponentially as windows have become bigger and glass has become a feature design material in many homes.The Job
We recently completed a large window privacy film installation in a new home in Melbourne. The double story house was in the final stages of completion. The house took up most of the quarter acre block and had windows that overlooked neighbours on both sides. The owners had also installed an in-ground swimming pool which was built in close proximity to the neighbours' fence, overlooking the rear and side properties.

Overlooking Regulations
When new homes and renovations occur in older suburbs, they can have a significant impact on neighbours. Single storey homes are often replaced by double storey houses and new homes are generally larger and are built closer to the boundary line. The result is that surrounding neighbours are impacted by changing lines of sight both inside and outside the house. There are important regulations for privacy and safety that must be observed when building or renovating. These rules help protect the privacy of neighbours.Frosted Window Film Design
Frosted window film is a practical, affordable and versatile alternative to expensive frosted glass panels. It can be cut to any size and almost any design can be applied to the film, to enhance the design aesthetics of any home. The job required a frosted window film design which was in keeping with the high end, classic design of the home. Windows were to achieve a uniform opaque glass look, without any decoration, that maintained light and achieved privacy.Privacy Inside The House
No expense had been spared on this beautifully appointed home. The owners had invested in large open plan living areas and generous bedrooms that maximised the light. Nevertheless, privacy issues effected two upstairs bedrooms, two bathrooms and a glassed balcony on the first floor. Frosted window film can be cut to any size or shape and with experts can be installed in minutes. We installed privacy window film to the lower part of the upstairs bedroom windows, allowing privacy from neighbours, but still allowing light into the room and a view through the remaining top part of the windows and front window. We also applied window privacy film to the bathroom and toilet upstairs, as well as a large window in the stairwell. Finally, window privacy film was applied to two windows at the side of the front door. [caption id="attachment_6871" align="alignnone" width="700"]
