The Benefits Of Obscure Glass
There are many benefits of obscure glass, mainly the privacy it can provide. If you want a glass panel in your front door, you may want to let light in, but don’t want people to see clearly into your hallway. Obscure glass is particularly useful for bathroom windows, especially on lower floors, as you can get more opaque obscure glass that offers maximum privacy and ensures that anyone outside can only see the rough outline of a person.
Another key benefit to obscure glass is that you get a variety of options, to ensure your new windows and doors enhance your home and fit with its period. Many homeowners are aware that they have a choice between regular glass and obscure glass, but you might not realise that there are many options, ranging from geometric patterns to flowers and nature-inspired styles, almost translucent textured glass to smooth, modern privacy glass styles.
Whatever style or level of privacy you need, RILU Windows & Doors has the obscure glass range to meet your needs. Our team have installed privacy glass throughout Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and Dorset, so they can find the perfect solution for your home, whether it’s a rural cottage or a contemporary town centre flat.

Obscure Glass FAQs
Can You See Through Obscure Glass?
While obscure glass offers privacy, it isn’t fully opaque, meaning that natural light can still come through. As such, it offers limited privacy, while also ensuring that your property doesn’t become too dark and gloomy. For bathroom windows and other areas where you need more privacy, patterned glass is often the best solution. If you want less privacy or pure style, then you can choose frosted or textured glass. All types of obscure glass can still be seen through to some degree, so you may still need curtains or blinds.
Is Obscure Glass More Expensive?
Because of the processes that go into making it, obscure glass can be more expensive than clear glass panes. For cost-effective windows and doors that suit your needs, you need to get in touch for a bespoke quote.
Does Obscure Glass Let Light In?
Obscure glass is designed to let natural light into your home while also providing a degree of privacy. Less opaque options, such as frosted glass, textured glass or etched glass, let in more light than opaque versions such as patterned glass. Our team can help you find the right obscure glass solution to let in maximum light and fit your home’s style.
What's The Difference Between Obscure And Frosted Glass?
The term obscure glass refers to any glass that reduces transparency. Frosted glass is a type of obscure glass, made using a process of acid etching to produce a specific pitted appearance. Frosted glass is one of the less opaque obscure glass options, making it better for glazed doors or internal rooms, rather than bathroom windows or other areas where you need privacy. RILU Windows & Doors can help you find the right solution for your needs.
