Frosting glass

[PapaNIes60]

Hey folks, I want to frost a window in my TT. It is a hallway window across from the bathroom. Seems we are constantly snagging on the venetian blind and want to eliminate it. While researching online, I found quiet a few products so I decided to see what and if any fellow RVers have done. which ones worked and which didn't work out so well? Thanks for your input. P.S. It is a vertical slider.

I've used the electrostatic ones on the bathroom window for the house. It lasted for at least 10 years before I changed it.

You can also use a spray frost

I really appreciate all of the helpful comments. Thank you fellow RVers.

The home depot sells some stuff to put on your windows just like tint in installed. They have Frosted, stained glass, Bathroom window and all kinds of different designs to choose from.

Take the glass out and have it sandblasted.

I just put this on the slider on our new toy hauler. I bought it on Amazon.

I did our garage rear entrance door 19 years ago with the stick on sheet and it is still on there with no scratches or defects today. Looks exactly like real " frosted" glass and keeps curious people from seeing what valuables I have (Harley & tractor) stored in there.

Yes, they stick well. Put them on the inside.
I've had electrostatic thermometers on a window (outside) at my S&B, even the winter winds didn't remove it.
Just clean the window well before applying.

I did this at the s&b. We made 'panels' out of a street side window - looked real from outside.

For a more decorative look, you can add lead lines: stick on lead lines

Rustoleum makes a spray for that.

An advantage is that you can scrape off the paint with a razor blade in one or more areas or panels so you can still see out the window.

Lowe's, HD and hardware stores sell both types. Both are easy to apply.

I have not used 'electrostatic' sheets but I have used stick on frosted sheets.... one must peel off the protective backing, wet the now exposed sticky side along with the window glass and then just place the sheet on the glass. Trim the excess to fit the window and then squeegee out any bubbles. These sheets do not come off by themselves. I have had some in place on house windows for years. They are removable, though, if needed. The frosting spray is not easily removable, if at all.
