Obscure Window Film for Planning Permission
Our latest frosting project on this new development in Exeter. Several bathrooms with clear glazing required a frosted window film to provide privacy. Also to meet the final planning permission sign off, a couple of windows overlooking some house to the rear of the building needed to be obscured.
Our Hanita Matte frosted window film is a great way to obscure your glazing, meeting building regulations and providing a low cost alternative to replacing the windows.
Due to increased demand we have recently expanded our range of decorative window films available with a fantastic choice from Solyx and Llumar. Contact Devon Window Tinting on 01626 445186 for decorative window films.

Hello
I am currently having a big fight with my building inspector.He will not advise or help me with his requirements on obscured window films grade 3 to 5 .Does anyone know what 3 to 5 looks like ?
Many thanks
Chris
Hi Chris
Pilkington grade glass at five levels of privacy, graded from 1 (least obscuration) to 5 (greatest obscuration). So any film or glass fitted will need to be very frosted / obscured.
Window film is graded similarly from 0 (clear) to 10 (opaque), Hanita Matte frosted window film as a guide would be around 8 so that would probably equate to 4 / 5 in relation to the Pilkington guide.

We regularly use Hanita Matte for any planning issues our customers have and it always gets approval.
Many thanks

Hi, Can you use the film coating for level 3 Pilkington grade and then just peel it off once planning has been satisfied . Can it be removed easily ?
Hi
The film is fully obscure. It can be removed afterwards but it will probably leave some adhesive residue which would need to be removed mechanically or with some chemical.
Thanks
Rob
