Advantages And Disadvantages Of Frosted Glass

 Have you ever seen a glass whose surface is not all clear but is instead translucent? These are the frosted glass. It is totally different from the common crystal clear glass. When a clear sheet of glass turns opaque through the process of sandblasting or acid etching it becomes frosted glass. 

Frosted glasses are highly advantageous in:  

1. Bedrooms- Frosted glass provides privacy and light control thus becomes the best companion for your bedroom’s windows. For a stylish look choose frosted glass with decorative designs. 

2. Home libraries- Use frosted glass panels to maintain your home library’s privacy

Attics- Instead of covering the windows with blinds, use frosted glass to keep excess sunlight at bay.

3. Kitchen gardens- If you own a kitchen herb garden, herbs do not necessarily need direct sunlight. So use frosted glass to detract sunlight. 

4. Offices- Frosted glass partitions can be used in offices so that employees don’t feel claustrophobic 

5. Bathrooms-Frosted glass for bathroom windows will provide enough natural light while obstructing the outside view. It also gives a modern look to your bathroom. 

Other benefits of frosted glass are-

1. Easy to clean - Frosted glasses are absolutely easy to clean. The glass does not corrode or rust. It can be easily cleaned by wiping with a cloth. Occasionally wipe the glass with some cleaner and a microfibre cloth.

2. Allows in more sunlight - Many people have a misunderstanding that frosted glass does not allow light into the home. In fact, they allow plenty of natural light rather than normal glass. Frosted glass filters natural light, protecting your furnishings from harmful UV rays which could damage them over time. It also reduces your energy bills. 

3. Promote privacy - Frosted glass is most commonly used on front doors, in bathrooms, and commercial spaces as it is well-known for promoting privacy. 

Disadvantages of frosted glass

1. Frosted glass can not be cut and reprocessed, but can only be processed to the desired shape once at the time of processing, followed by tempering. 

2. The surface of the frosted glass will be a bit thinner and uneven.
