Translucent material for covering a window?

<p>I'm looking for a translucent material to cover a window. I want it for privacy as the window faces the street. But at the same time I want it to look good when shooting a model against the window (so it better not to reflect flash light much). Wax paper is the cheapest translucent material but doesn't look good and also comes in short widths. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>White shower curtain?<br>

or frosted glass window film? https://www.wall-art.com/Decorating-Ideas/Window-Films/Frosted-Glass/</p>

<p>maybe something like a Rosco 30xx series diffusion material? They have a dozen or so different flavors and widths up to 48" I think.</p>

<p>At one point, I was in Home Depot or Lowes or something and they had moisture adhesive fake Japanese Kozo and a variety of other materials that weren't just 'plain'</p>

<p>You can purchase sheets of translucent plexiglass. A search on Amazon will give you some vendors. </p>

<p>I bought a sheet of 1/4" with 55% transmittance and the stuff is great for preflashing film. If I had a window to cover, I would get 1/8" or even thinner. Shipping will cost as much as the material! (The material is not expensive when purchased from a specialty dealer - pricey when purchased from a big box store).</p>

<p>this is the mfgr of the stuff I found in HD. I got the Rice Paper version.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/688204-REG/LEE_Filters_216R_Full_White_Diffusion_Filter.html">Lee 216</a> full-white diffusion is a popular 1.5-stop diffusion material, and is among the densest of the Lee diffusion materials. It has a fairly matte finish. It comes in 48" x 25' rolls which sell for $130 each. Apply with Windex or a mild soap and water solution. <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?N=10688206&InitialSearch=yes&sts=pi&Top+Nav-Search=">Lee 250</a> is about half the density of 216.</p>

<p>Curtains, rip-stop, tracing paper, various Lee/Roscoe diffusion, etc. They all work with varying effects, just depends on your intended use and if you plan on keeping it up permanently or just installing for shoots and then removing/storing elsewhere.</p>

Hello all! There is a plastic/resin material that has an electro-photo-white system in it that goes between full clear and what appears to be

full frost. Stick a variostat into the power line and you can vary the effect. Looks pretty cool to me! it's called Smart Tint.

Hth, ymmv etc.

<p>I got something from the local art supplies store that is like vellum but is less opaque. It's pretty reflective though.</p>
