Why Glass Privacy Matters Under GDPR
Contemporary office designs often favour glass meeting rooms, open-plan layouts and floor-to-ceiling panels to create a bright, collaborative environment. However, this transparency can sometimes expose sensitive or personal information—such as computer screens, printed documents, or meeting room whiteboards—to people passing by. Under GDPR, personal data must be protected from unauthorised access, including unintended visibility. Even accidentally exposing client or employee information through a glass panel could pose a compliance risk.
How Frosted Vinyl Supports GDPR Compliance
Frosted vinyl is a translucent film applied to glass surfaces that obscures visibility while still allowing natural light to flow through. It’s a quick and cost-effective way to introduce privacy to your office without sacrificing aesthetics.
Key Benefits:
- Privacy Without Darkness
Unlike blinds or curtains, frosted vinyl maintains light transmission, keeping your space bright and welcoming. - Flexible Coverage
Choose from full or partial frosting depending on the level of privacy required. Bands, patterns, and logos can be cut into the film for a tailored finish. - Supports GDPR Compliance
Applying frosted vinyl to key glass areas—such as meeting rooms, partitions or reception desks—helps safeguard personal data and demonstrates a proactive approach to privacy under the law. - Custom Designs and Branding
Frosted vinyl can be custom-cut to include your branding, offering privacy with a professional finish that reinforces your visual identity.

Where to Use Frosted Vinyl for Privacy
- Meeting rooms: Ensure confidential discussions or presentations aren’t visible to people outside.
- Reception areas: Protect customer or patient information at the front desk.
- Workstations and open-plan offices: Reduce the visibility of on-screen data or sensitive paperwork.
- Healthcare, legal or financial environments: Maintain privacy in settings where data protection is critical.
