Glass for a bathroom exterior door?

5 years ago

I am having this bathroom remodeled in November and need to select a door. This is our second bathroom that our teens will use until they move out and it is our guest bathroom. I'd like to keep a window in the door to let the most light into the space. This door opens to our main backyard patio. What are your opinions on privacy glass, clear glass with a window treatment or other? Thanks!

Obscured glass. Frosted, patterned, or whatever you like that cannot be seen through. Why makesomeone have to check on the window covering before using the bathroom?

Thank you for the wisdom! I put frosted window film in to see if I like what it looks like before ordering a door. It is brighter than I thought it would be and it looks good from the exterior side.

We got one with mini blinds between the inner and outer glass panels.
