We all know that decorative door glass can add style, character, and curb appeal to your entryway. But did you know, adding or replacing door glass to your entryway can increase or decrease your privacy?
It’s true! Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about privacy levels for door glass. Use this guide to help you pick the best privacy level for you.
Door Glass Privacy Levels, Explained
The level of privacy for door glass depends on the amount and placement of texture within the glass.
- Clear, transparent glass has no texture at all — you can see straight through it. This glass is considered low privacy.
- Medium privacy glass has some texture to it and uses a combination of clear and opaque glass. Sight through this type of windows will be partially obscured
- Opaque, highly textured glass is considered high privacy. When looking through this type of glass, the viewer will only be able to see shadows and colors.
We categorize our door glass at Zabitat with a privacy level rating of 0 – 10. Each of those numbers falls into a low, medium, or high privacy level. Here’s how it works:
Low Privacy: 0 – 3
Medium Privacy: 4 – 6
High Privacy: 7 – 10
Our categorization method just goes to show that even within privacy levels, different style of glass can offer different degrees of privacy — it all just comes down to your personal preference.
