The textured nature of frosted glass obscures objects and people, providing privacy while allowing natural light into your space. This is the perfect ambiance for the bathroom!
What is frosted glass?
Frosted glass is produced by sandblasting or acid etching clear sheet glass creating a pitted surface on the pane. The procedure renders the glass translucent, blurring images while still transmitting light.
The benefits of frosted glass:
There are many benefits of using frosted glass in your space:
- More light: Frosted glass filters natural light protecting art and furnishings from harmful UV rays while allowing light transmission into your space.
- Privacy: Though it allows light to penetrate, frosted glass increases privacy, blurring objects and people into vague shapes and blended colours. This makes it a perfect choice for bathrooms, bedrooms, offices and other areas where privacy is desired.
- Saves money: The enhanced privacy provided by frosted glass means that costly curtains and/or blinds are unnecessary.
- Low maintenance: This glass treatment is resistant to scratching and does not rust or corrode. It’s streak-resistant and easily cleaned with a microfibre cloth.
- Energy-efficient: Filtering sunlight keeps your room cool during the summer while allowing some sunlight to enter which helps keep your space warm during winter. This adds up to lower energy bills.
- Beauty: Available in a variety of colours and designs, frosted glass adds a strong decorative element to any space.
- Versatile: Customizable to your requirements, frosted glass can be made in different dimensions, designs, colours and patterns.
How to use frosted glass in the bathroom:
There are many attractive and creative ways to incorporate frosted glass in a bathroom.

- Frosted Sliding Doors consist of two or more frosted glass panels that operate in a track and help save space in a small bathroom.
- A Frosted Fixed Screen is a frosted glass panel that is fixed to one side of a bathroom, making your space feel modern and providing an elegant and economic solution.
