Choosing per opening

Look for this

  • Frosted — bathrooms and privacy spots
  • Tinted — sun-facing, glare-prone walls
  • Both keep daylight while solving their issue
  • Matched to each opening's need
Questions

Frequently asked

What is frosted glass for?

Privacy — it lets light through while blocking clear view, ideal for bathrooms and street-facing ground-floor windows.

What does tinted glass do?

It reduces glare and cuts some heat from strong sun, useful on west-facing and sun-exposed walls.

Can I mix glass types in one home?

Yes — we match glass to each opening, so frosted goes where you want privacy and tinted where sun is strong.
