The Problem
Full frost blocks your view of trees and sky.
Clear glass leaves you exposed at eye level.
Gradient Film
Privacy at the bottom, sky and light at the top.
Quick Answer
Gradient privacy film fades from solid frost to clear, usually from bottom to top, so it blocks views at eye level while keeping the upper glass clear for light and sky views. It works day and night and looks modern and intentional. Gradient film in Los Angeles typically costs $9–$14 per square foot installed.
