My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    It is acrylic panels that I sanded to give a frosted look. You can easily achieve the same look with frosted temper glass though :) Hope that helps!

      Oh wow - it looks great!

      Out of curiosity - how much did the panels cost, ballpark?

      Thank you! The panels cost a little more than $200/panel. It is a 4' x 8' panel. If you are in Toronto/ Ontario, I got them from Plastic World. :)

      Could u tell me more about the panels? What type? Color? Any custom process to achieve finish?

      Hi Kyle,

      Sorry for the late response, I used a 3/8" clear acrylic panel (that I verified with the seller to be heat tolerant). Then I took a hand sander to it to create a frosted finish. Hope that help answer your question. If you live in the Greater Toronto Area, I found the acrylic panels at Plastic World.

      What grit sandpaper did you use? Did you sand it in a circular pattern?
