How Do You Frost Clear Glass Shower Doors?

If you want to frost the clear glass on your shower doors for added privacy, there are a few options available. Instead of hiring a professional to sandblast them, you can acid etch them, apply a frosted window film or spray a frosted window paint to achieve the frosted look. You will also be able to save money by doing the project yourself. Decide whether you want to use an etching acid, film or spray paint. All products that you need will be available at a home improvement store or a crafts store. In addition to frosted window films, you can find films in different colors and designs that resemble stained glass. Clean and dry the glass completely, no matter what product you chose.

Enjoy the added beauty and privacy of your newly frosted shower doors after you finish your project. ...  more
