    The problem

    Plain glass exposes more than it shows off.

    Meeting rooms feel like fishbowls. Bathroom and bedroom windows need privacy without losing light. Storefronts blur into the streetscape. Sandblasted or etched glass is permanent and expensive, and curtains kill the look.

    No privacy

    Meeting rooms, bathrooms and ground-floor windows on full display.

    Brand invisibility

    Storefronts and reception areas that don't say who you are.

    Dated finish

    Plain glass that lets a beautiful fit-out fall flat.

    Inflexible options

    Sandblasted glass is permanent, and replacement is brutal.

    Every frosting & decorative finish we install

    All of the finishes below are quoted, cut and installed by the same experienced team, on the same free-measure process. Not sure which one suits your glass? Call 1300 137 036 and we'll talk it through.

    Patterned window film

    Add architectural rhythm and privacy to glass partitions, façades and feature walls with patterned decorative film.

    Patterned film delivers the visual texture of etched, sandblasted or laminated glass without the cost or permanence. Choose from hundreds of 3M FASARA and SOLYX patterns — linear stripes, geometric grids, organic dot-fades, woven textures and architectural rib finishes — or have us plot-cut a pattern straight from your designer's spec. We bring a physical sample folio to the free measure so you can hold patterns against your own glass in your own light.

    Key features

    • Hundreds of 3M FASARA & SOLYX pattern options
    • Linear, geometric, organic and architectural finishes
    • Adds privacy while preserving natural light
    • Custom patterns plotted from your designer's spec
    • Reversible and easy to update as design needs change

    Best for

    • • Office partitions and meeting room glass
    • • Hospitality and retail feature walls
    • • Hotel lobbies and corporate receptions
    • • Apartment building common areas

    Typical Melbourne cost: From around $400 for a single panel; most office and hospitality fit-outs land between $1,500 and $8,000 (inc GST).

    Stained glass effect film

    The look of leadlight and stained glass without the cost, weight or fragility — and without touching the original glazing.

    Stained glass effect film recreates the colour, texture and visual depth of traditional leadlight on any flat or curved glass surface. It suits period Melbourne homes restoring an Edwardian or Victorian feature window, churches and heritage buildings, and contemporary projects wanting bold coloured-glass moments without the structural or budget impact of real stained glass. Send us photos and measurements of an existing pattern and we can usually recreate or extend it.

    Key features

    • Heritage leadlight and coloured-glass patterns
    • Modern abstract and geometric coloured effects
    • Custom designs printed and cut to your spec
    • Far lighter, safer and cheaper than real stained glass
    • UV-stabilised — 10+ years of vivid colour in Melbourne conditions

    Best for

    • • Period homes (Victorian, Edwardian, Federation)
    • • Churches and heritage buildings
    • • Feature entry doors and sidelights
    • • Restaurant, bar and boutique retail fit-outs

    Typical Melbourne cost: From around $450 for an entry sidelight; full feature windows typically $900–$4,000 (inc GST).

    Reeded (fluted) glass effect film

    Fluted, ribbed, linear texture — the reeded glass look that's everywhere in Melbourne kitchens, bathrooms and joinery, applied to the glass you already have.

    Reeded effect film gives existing glass the vertical fluted texture of real reeded or ribbed glass. It obscures detail while keeping the light and the shadow-play that makes the finish so popular, and it goes on in hours rather than the weeks a glass replacement takes. We install it on internal doors, shower and bathroom glazing, kitchen and butler's-pantry joinery, office partitions and retail fit-outs.

    Key features

    • Authentic fluted / ribbed vertical texture
    • Obscures detail while keeping natural light
    • Applies to existing glass — no re-glazing
    • Available in fine, medium and wide rib pitches
    • Reversible, ideal for rentals and tenancies

    Best for

    • • Internal doors, sidelights and stair glazing
    • • Bathroom, ensuite and shower screens
    • • Kitchen and butler's pantry joinery glass
    • • Cafés, boutiques and office partitions

    Typical Melbourne cost: From around $350 for a door panel; whole-of-home and fit-out jobs typically $1,200–$5,000 (inc GST).

    Coloured glass & vinyl film

    Brand-matched colour on glass — translucent, solid or gradient — for storefronts, offices and design-led interiors.

    Coloured film turns plain glazing into a colour feature, whether that's a translucent wash across a partition, a solid brand block on a shopfront, or a graduated fade up a façade. Send us a Pantone, hex or RAL code and we'll supply a swatch for sign-off before install. Premium 3M and SOLYX coloured films are UV-stabilised, so the colour holds true for 10+ years in Melbourne sun.

    Key features

    • Brand-matched to Pantone, hex or RAL
    • Translucent, solid and gradient finishes
    • Custom-printed shades available off-spec
    • UV-stabilised against fading and colour shift
    • Swatch supplied for sign-off before install

    Best for

    • • Retail storefronts and branded glazing
    • • Office breakout and meeting-room glass
    • • Hospitality venues and feature walls
    • • Signage and wayfinding on glass

    Typical Melbourne cost: From around $350 for a single panel; office and storefront fit-outs typically $1,500–$8,000 (inc GST).

    Opaque window film

    Total visual privacy with a clean, solid finish — opaque film blocks all view in and out while protecting the glass beneath.

    Opaque glass film is the strongest privacy option you can apply to existing glass without replacing it. Where frosted film diffuses light, opaque film is fully solid — ideal for bathroom windows facing the street, meeting rooms that need round-the-clock privacy, retail back-of-house partitions and any glass that should read as a wall. Available in white, black, grey and brand-matched colours.

    Key features

    • Solid, 100% view-blocking finish
    • White, black, grey and custom-matched colours
    • Reads as a finished wall on either side
    • Up to 99% UV rejection plus scratch protection
    • Fully reversible — no damage to the glass

    Best for

    • • Bathroom windows facing the street or neighbours
    • • Meeting rooms requiring full privacy
    • • Retail back-of-house and storage partitions
    • • Apartment service-area glass and stairwells

    Typical Melbourne cost: From around $350 for a bathroom window; larger partition and back-of-house jobs typically $1,000–$4,000 (inc GST).

    Static cling film (adhesive-free)

    Full decorative or privacy coverage without a drop of adhesive — static film clings to glass by static charge alone and peels off in seconds.

    Static cling film is the renter's, retailer's and event installer's option: frosted, patterned and coloured films that hold to glass with static charge, leave zero residue and can be reused across multiple sites. We supply and install premium static films — not the bargain consumer-grade product that bubbles and drops in summer heat — for apartments, pop-up retail, exhibitions, real-estate styling and short-term office partitions.

    Key features

    • 100% adhesive-free — clings with static charge
    • Peels off cleanly with zero residue
    • Frosted, patterned and coloured finishes
    • Reusable across multiple sites or seasons
    • Cut to any panel size in-house

    Best for

    • • Apartments and rental properties
    • • Pop-up retail and short-term tenancies
    • • Event and exhibition stand glass
    • • Real-estate styling and display homes

    Typical Melbourne cost: From around $300 for a small window; pop-up and event fit-outs typically $800–$3,000 (inc GST).

    Architectural glazing film

    Specified-grade finishes for architects, designers and project managers — premium glass looks that hit the spec without the budget and lead time of replacement glazing.

    Architectural glazing film covers the etched, fluted, reeded, gradient, coloured and pattern-cut effects specified on commercial, hospitality and high-end residential projects. We work directly from drawings and finish schedules, supply physical samples for sign-off, install AS 1288-compliant manifestation, and provide full project documentation, certificates of compliance and warranty registration for builders and project managers.

    Key features

    • Specified-grade 3M FASARA, SOLYX and architectural ranges
    • Etched, fluted, reeded, gradient and pattern-cut finishes
    • AS 1288-compliant manifestation strips
    • Safety-film options where impact ratings are required
    • Full project documentation, COC and warranty

    Best for

    • • Architect-designed homes and apartments
    • • Commercial office and tenancy fit-outs
    • • Hospitality, retail and hotel projects
    • • Public buildings and education facilities

    Typical Melbourne cost: Quoted on plan — most specified projects fall between $2,000 and $20,000 (inc GST) depending on area and finish.
