Obscure (privacy) glass
Glass that's textured, frosted, or patterned to blur the view while still letting light through.
What it means for you
How you get daylight in a bathroom, sidelight, or street-facing window without giving up privacy. It's a surface choice independent of energy — you can still get Low-E and argon on a privacy pane.
Where you'll see it
Bathroom and entry-door glass options; a per-opening upgrade.
Also sold as: privacy glass · frosted glass · textured glass
