what is the best etched vinyl to use for windows?

[David Rogers]

Personally I like Ritrama PTA.

Plenty of privacy – easy application.

Ritrama is the only type ive used and had no problems fitting, it looked fine when finished 🙂

I like Oracal’s brand. (8510) I have used both the fine and the coarse.
They also have colored frosted glass material, may be a good look for a massage parlor.

I do love the Spandex Imageperfect IP 5804 a lot…

agree with gill… used the oracal stuff for years.
i prefer the non-glitter/sparkle or whatever its called version of the etch. looks more realistic to sand blasted etch.
also comes with air-escape adhesive system too if you prfer it. makes application very easy on large installs.

as gill also says, you can be pretty creative by using the coloured versions of the etch films.

I also like the oracal.
I have used the 3m sparkly one, which is very nice, but it is less opaque than the Oracal and you can make out flesh coloured shapes through it, so it is not so good for privacy LOL.
I once used this on some panoramic windows in a restaurant, frosting from floor to table height, so that the ladies dining there were less "exposed."
They chose the 3m because of the brand name, but they asked me to change it to the Oracal after it was installed for a week!

Sorry Jill 😳

I recently had to do a job with large solid panels of etch with some intricate detail reversed out. This meant applying it wet was going to be an issue as it could not be left overnight to adhere and we had a lot to get through.

We used Hexis Hexpress and applied it dry. Went on an absolute treat, no bubbles or scars, I am definitely convinced this is the way forward.

Same as Robert & Jill, oracal for me, didn’t know it came in an air release now but have never had any problems with the ordinary stuff.
