Decorative Texture Meets Functional Privacy
Privacy doesn't have to be plain. While standard frosted glass offers a uniform look, Textured Privacy Glass adds character, depth, and style to your windows and doors. From the classic "Rain" pattern that mimics water cascading down the pane, to the vintage "Pinhead" texture found in many Vaughan century homes, Installix offers a wide range of privacy glass options. We replace your clear glass with these textured units to enhance your home's aesthetic while keeping prying eyes out.
Popular Texture Options
Rain Glass
A vertical pattern that looks like rain streaking down a window. It offers high privacy and a natural, organic look. Very popular for bathrooms and modern front doors.
Pinhead (Morocco)
A tight, pebbled texture that sparkles in the light. It offers medium privacy and is often used to match existing glass in older homes or commercial entryways.
Glue Chip
A fern-like, frost pattern created by applying animal glue to the glass surface as it dries. It provides excellent privacy and a classic, traditional Victorian look.
The Solution: Custom Textured Units
We incorporate these textures into a standard double-pane thermal unit. The textured surface faces the inside of the air space (so it doesn't collect dust), leaving both exterior surfaces smooth and easy to clean.
Why Choose Installix?
- Match Existing: We work hard to source glass that matches the pattern of your other windows or neighbors' homes.
- Safety: We can temper most textured glass, making it safe for use in doors and shower enclosures.
- Energy Efficiency: You get the decorative look without sacrificing the Argon gas and Low-E coating of a modern window.
Technical Specifications
| Texture | Privacy Level (1-10) |
|---|---|
| Rain | 7/10 - High obscuration but allows shapes/colors through. |
| Pinhead | 5/10 - Blurs images effectively at distance, less so up close. |
| Glue Chip | 8/10 - Very dense pattern, high privacy. |
| Reed/Fluted | 4/10 - Distorts images linearly (Art Deco style). |
Our Process: Style & Substance
Step 1: Samples
Choosing a texture is visual. We can describe the options or show photos to ensure you get the look you want.
Step 2: Manufacturing
Textured glass is rolled at the factory. We order the raw sheets, cut them to your window size, temper them (if needed), and seal them into an IGU.
Step 3: Installation
We install the unit with the texture facing the sealed airspace for zero-maintenance privacy.
Pricing Factors
- Rarity: Common patterns like Rain are affordable. Rare or discontinued patterns may be expensive or require a substitution.
- Tempering: Textured glass is often brittle and requires tempering for safety, adding to the cost.
