Let's Talk About It
Will Obscure Glass Match My Clear Windows?
From the outside, obscure glass looks slightly different from clear — but it's consistent with other obscure-glazed windows. Most homes have a mix of clear and obscure.
Which Privacy Level Do I Need?
Level 1-2 for slight privacy (hallways, stairwells). Level 3 for moderate privacy (kitchens, living rooms). Level 4-5 for maximum privacy (bathrooms, cloakrooms). We'll advise for each window.
Can I Have Different Levels in Different Windows?
Yes, absolutely. Different rooms need different privacy levels. We'll discuss each window during the survey.
