Privacy with bathroom windows, overlooking porch
Comments (6)I have a frosted Anderson window in my upstairs bath and I was planning to use the same kind in my powder room which would face my porch. I think it adds adequate privacy, but its hard to say since its upstairs and no one looks directly at the window. I also have a stained glass window in another part of the house and it would not provide adequate privacy. Pretty though. If you just want light, I hear light tubes are great (but no ventilation). I was also thinking of keeping my window quite small for security reasons (could be easy break in point in the back of the house). So many decisions.... OT- Thanks Lavender_Lass for all your help with my kitchen layout. I think I am making progress. I'll post a revision on Kitchen forum soon....See MoreBathroom at front of house, want windows and privacy
Comments (1)I'd go with the obscure glass - you still get the light through the full size windows, you get the privacy for the bathroom, and the exterior of the house still looks good....See MoreBathroom privacy - frosted windows
Comments (8)Not sure if one needs to disrobe in front of the window to see if its effective or not, lol, however I do agree with having a spouse or friend moving about on the interior in a fashion that you normally would to see what privacy it offers. Keep in mind that the closer you are to the glass, its effectiveness at obscuring the occupant(s) is diminished. In short, if the window is in the shower, you may have a legit worry. If its 4 ft away however, not likely that much will be seen....See MoreLarger privacy window in bathroom
Comments (3)I did a 3-pane glass door on my laundry room to allow natural light in, but unfortunately our neighbors built their house further back than anticipated, exposing our glass door to their driveway. I used frosted film on the 2 lower panes for privacy and it has worked very well. I found a company online that will pre-cut the film to any dimensions, for a small extra fee. Well worth it as the hardest part is cutting the film. Going with a film gives you the option of only doing certain parts and being able to remove it completely down the road....See Morelizziesma
