Frosted Glass Repair & Replacement

Frosted glass features an etched or sandblasted surface that diffuses light while obscuring visibility, providing privacy without sacrificing natural light. It is commonly used in bathrooms, front doors, office partitions, and any space where privacy is important. Frosted glass is available in varying degrees of opacity from lightly textured to fully opaque.

Energy Efficiency

Frosted Glass & Energy Performance

Frosted glass has similar thermal properties to clear glass of the same thickness. For energy efficiency, we recommend frosted insulated glass units that combine the privacy of frosted surfaces with the insulating properties of double or triple pane construction. This is especially beneficial for bathroom and entryway applications where privacy and efficiency are both priorities.
