Is it possible to add privacy film to a textured glass door?

Question

I've got a door with a large panel of textured glass in it (sort of like rain glass), and I want to add additional privacy. I've seen translucent films applied to normal glass. The instructions and videos I've looked at use squeegees and assume the glass is flat. Is it possible to apply privacy film to textured glass?

Answer 1

Generally no.

If one side of the glass has the texture, perhaps the other does not?

Alternatives are

1. get it sandblasted, or
2. attach a stretched curtain

3. apply a second pane, treated as you wish, to the door or on the glass.
4. Spray painting one side. You can get translucent paints and "Frosted Glass Spray", but applying them evenly is tricky. (Personally I think it will look very cheap, unless it's used with stencils)

But perhaps you've thought of these already.

Answer 2

Maybe.

I have successfully applied blackout film to a door with textured glass, but a) the door was subdivided into lots of little panes; b) the glass wasn't very textured (ripples and bubbles internally), and I applied the film to the smoother side.
