Frosted Glass
Glass with a matte surface or interlayer that scatters light. It blurs shapes rather than blocking light completely, and oils or scratches can make clear-looking marks.

Choosing points
- Best for bathrooms, vanities, and office partitions where light should pass but views should blur.
- It lets light through but hides detail.
- Fingerprints and wet marks can become darker and clearer on matte surfaces.
- Film-applied frost often reveals bubbles or cut edges if poorly installed.
How it ages
- Etched surfaces can stain more easily than smooth glass; film surfaces can scratch or peel.
What to avoid
- Do not rely on frosted glass for complete privacy; backlighting and night conditions can reveal silhouettes.
