Privacy Glass for Louvre Windows from Breezway

Obscure Glass Louvre Window Blades

One of the best reasons to use Altair Louvre Windows in bathrooms is their ability to offer both privacy and ventilation simultaneously. A great blade option for this is obscure glass which allows abundant natural light while still providing privacy. Obscure glass has been available for decades but traditionally in the form of glass with patterning on one of the surfaces.

These days obscure glass with a flatter appearance tends to be more popular with this achieved by processing one face of the glass, or by a white laminating interlayer. Laminated glass though is not suitable for use in louvre windows as the edges of laminated glass are exposed to weathering, which can cause the glass to de-laminate within a few years.

Breezway has two types of obscure glass:

Satinlite Glass

One surface of Satinlite glass has small, closely spaced grooves in a cross hatched pattern. Up close, Satinlite glass has a very slightly rough appearance, but it offers good resistance to fingerprints.
