Privacy glass in bathroom is NOT private
Comments (16)Here are the photos. This particular glass is called "Linen" by the seller. You can't see it well on the pics, but as oberon476 said, it has one smooth side (facing the bedroom) and one lightly pebbled side (facing the bathroom). The installer is still working today on the second room and we told him about our night/light-experience. He was very understanding but said that other customers used the glass for the same purpose and he never heard back that they were not satisfied. He will forward the information back to the salesperson we worked with. He also talked about a film he might be able to apply and I discussed that already with my husband last night. I am not too excited about a film on top of the glass regarding scratches, durability, looks and cleaning aspects. I think our final solution will be to install a curtain from the bathroom side over the top of the doors as an additional privacy screen. Our neighbors are safe though (lol) because they have no views into that area. The curtain is not what I intended to have but anybody staying in that room should have the option to get as much privacy as they want. At daylight there is no problem and I like how the bathroom is flooded with light coming from the room. That was the case in the showroom. However, I now believe too that no glass door is really private when it comes to different lighting situations. Thank you all for commenting and giving me your thoughts....See MorePrivacy AND light for bathroom window
Comments (11)Wow, those privacy films available at Home Depot are gorgeous! When we bought the house there was awful, ratty, badly applied frosted film in there (and also in front windows in the living room - I think a vampire lived there). I looked to replace it in the bathroom but the selections were UGLY. One issue is that not being able to see the sky and trees makes the space feel even more cramped than it actually is. Another is that the toilet is right next to the window, so there's less of the fuzzy-distortion effect at night when people are essentially back lit an a few inches from the shade. The outside solutions are intriguing but I think the space is too narrow - anything tall enough and opaque enough to provide privacy is going to make the room dark. Now, if I could get the neighbors to give up the reclaimed driveway space and plant some things there like the previous owner had... I'm definitely going to get some privacy film for my son's bedroom, which is also the guest bedroom. It's next to the bath so same issues with privacy. The lower part of the double-hung is level with the bed and just covering the panes in that section will make it much more comfortable to raise the shade. As it is it feels very exposed even with the sheer curtain. I'm still thinking a top-down/ bottom-up shade would work best in the bathroom. Is it possible to put them in a humid location? And can they be cut to length, or do you have to go custom for such a short window?...See MorePrivacy glass and wall in bathroom
Comments (1)Contact you local glassier. If you give them the measurements they can give you a quote to install. Not a DIY job. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5830341/simple-privacy-glass-on-knee-wall#n=4...See MoreCreating bathroom window privacy?
Comments (11)It's a small HOA and there are no identical houses, so lots of flexibility. The reason they didn't like the wall idea is that they don't want to hide the houses behind solid structures -- they did suggest a green wall, however. So it feels like there are different options here, I've been looking for example projects of folks with the same challenge. I like the idea of having more light come in and making the bathroom feel "open", but not at the expense of privacy given it's facing a street....See Moredekeoboe
