They don't create reflections or blockages. Translucent tint is comprised of smaller particles that allow light through while still providing some privacy. Semi-translucent tint comprises the combination of transparent and clear particles. It is used for windows that require privacy, but still allow in light. Opaque tint blocks any light from coming in and is the strongest type of tint. Frosted tint is more similar to traditional window film, but is less transparent than opaque.
