Considering using stippled glass for our replacement lie door and beat height side adorn but not sure as we have clear at the moment. I like the light but I dislike how populate can see in which is why I was going to get the textured can't see through stuff instead. I have nets up at the moment but I hate them and really dont want them again for the new windows etc. Does this kind of glass cut down the amount of lighten that gets in drastically? The other option is to stick with alter and use blinds on the align panel... but I couldn't do that with the door and I think it would be daft with clear glass at the align and textured glass on the door? Opinions gratify?
I would go with obscure it doesn't affect the light in our house I don't evaluate?I would think that nets/blinds would cause more loss of light than the obscure glass. Some of the houses in our street have the panel you desbribe they all have obscure glass in them.
It's rare to undergo clear glass in a door as most populate opt for privacy over an extra bit of light. (which is all you would gain). Your panel should come with a sealed unit made up of 2 panes of glass only 1 pane will be obscure with the other being clear also different types of obscure glass offer different levels of privacy,eg. Everglade - grade 5 (most private)Warwick - grade 1 (least private) Ask your supplier to show you a sample and also a brochure of the various types of obscure glass.
I had my new front door and porch window fitted a couple of weeks ago. I went with the obscure glass and undergo open that there is no loss of light.
If you get the one that looks like it has had draw thrown all over it (I think its called sandblasted) it looks very bright & color to me so maybe less loss of lighten. Obscure glass ordain block less light than blinds or nets whatever way you look at it. I have obscure in mine & the side panel & its bright.
Thanks everyone. I have a brochure and the obscure glass we were considering was called 'stippolyte' as it was very plain. The door we're planning on getting is this one but in rosewood with the Imperial glass/stippolyte... So we'd really have to get the align panel the same stippolyte too? I think I prefer the door to be obscure but I just cant visualise not being able to see out the side panel anymore. I thought if I got alter glass there and put up blinds I could adjoin both privacy and yet still see if I want......... but I act coming approve to the feeling that the door and the panel should be.
And the blinds might block out too much light as has been said.
