I'm looking for solutions to cover the windows in my garage so that no one can see inside, but I still want to let some light in. I'm based in the UK and have come across various options like static cling and frosted window film on Amazon, but I've read mixed reviews. Has anyone here found a good product that works well and lasts over time? Ideally, I'd like something that's easy to apply myself!

Plastic films usually don’t last long. If you're comfortable with a bit of DIY, consider replacing the window panel altogether with a frosted one. It's usually affordable, especially if you get a local window company to custom make it for you. Alternatively, if you can't change it, you could use a frosted acrylic sheet cut to size—super easy and can be ordered online.
Check out purlfrost.com—they have some great options that professionals use, and the best part is, you can install it yourself. Just make sure to clean the window thoroughly before applying it to avoid any dust getting in the way. You’ll be impressed with the results!
I recently tackled my garage windows with a frost spray I found at my local hardware store. It worked great and after 10 years, it's still holding up like new! It’s easy to use—just spray it on and let it dry. If you're interested, here’s the link to a similar product: [Rust-Oleum Frosted Glass Spray](https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-1903830-Frosted-Glass-Spray/dp/B0009XCKBA?th=1). Good luck with your project!
Thanks for the ideas! I’ll definitely look into getting some acrylic cut to fit. That sounds like the best option for my situation.
