Windows Design Dilemma Kitchens

satin glass window behind kitchen sink

5 days ago

My kitchen sink window looks right at the brick of my next door neighbor. I like the light but barely and rarely open the wood blinds because of this. Has anyone put satin glass on windows in this area? How do you like it?

Have you considered adding film…much less trouble and inexpensive.

Satin glass is the move. You get the light without staring at their brick. Do it.

Thank you for the replies! I think im gonna go with it!

I forgot to mention i am replacing all my windows anyway but otherwise the film would have been a good option to try without investing too much I was going to just replace this window with regular glass like the rest of them but it dawned on me abt the satin. I’ve never had this before so just wanted to get some feedback Thank you!

a film is quicker and you can change it out with the seasons for some interest.

Privacy glass is available for example Marvin Essentials fiberglass frame windows.
