Privacy glazing changes how clearly objects and people can be seen through the glass. Pattern, texture and distance all affect the result, with different designs creating a distinct visual character.

Explore Warwick, Reeded, Contora and Everglade patterns, then consider a sample in the intended setting: internal and external lighting can change how much privacy the glass appears to provide.

The textured-glass scale runs from Level 1, the least obscuration, to Level 5, the greatest obscuration. These comparative levels help you choose a pattern; they do not guarantee privacy in every setting.
