Decorative & frosted film
Frosted, textured, gradient, and custom-cut decorative film. Turn any glass surface into privacy, wayfinding, or branded environment - installed in a single day.
Decorative window film is the fastest, most flexible way to change how a commercial space looks and feels. Add instant privacy to a glass-walled conference room. Frost the lower half of a boardroom without losing daylight. Cut a logo into a storefront window. Rebrand a chain of retail locations in a single weekend. All without touching the glass itself.
DarkSide's decorative division specializes in high-end architectural film installations for offices, storefronts, medical suites, restaurants, and branded retail. We stock a full library of frosted, linen, gradient, and textured films and plot custom-cut vinyl for logos, wayfinding, and manifestation graphics (the required frit patterns on large glass walls).
What decorative film delivers
- Instant privacy for conference rooms, exam rooms, and executive offices
- Custom-cut logos, graphics, and typography plotted from your artwork
- Frosted, linen, and textured library patterns for wayfinding and branding
- Manifestation dots and patterns to meet building code on large glass walls
- Removable and re-brandable - swap graphics without replacing glass
- Blocks 99% UV so wall art and interior finishes stay saturated
Custom cut in-house
We plot every custom pattern on our in-house cutter from your artwork - logos, patterns, house numbers, wayfinding, or original design. Vector files preferred, but we can vectorize a raster logo for you. Turnaround from artwork approval to installation is usually 5-7 business days.
Smart PDLC film
For glass walls that need to toggle between clear and opaque - conference rooms, exam rooms, executive offices - we install switchable PDLC film that flips from transparent to fully private at the touch of a wall switch. No blinds, no curtains, no visual clutter.

Frequently asked questions
How much does decorative film cost?
Standard frosted film runs $10-$14 per square foot installed. Custom-cut vinyl varies with complexity - typical logo installs start around $250. Smart PDLC film is $85-$120 per sqft. Free quote after we see the space.
Can I remove it later?
Yes. Standard decorative films peel off cleanly and the glass returns to original. This is why decorative film is popular in leased office space.
How long does the install take?
Most single conference rooms are done in 2-4 hours. Whole-floor frosting takes one day. Custom cut logos install in an hour once the vinyl is plotted.
Do you match Pantone colors?
Yes. We plot custom vinyl in any Pantone or brand color. Provide your brand guide and we'll match exactly.
What's the warranty?
10-year manufacturer warranty on library frosted films. 10-year on custom vinyl. 5-year on switchable PDLC. Lifetime workmanship on the install.
