Frosted And Opaque Glass Shower Doors

For privacy, you may choose frosted glass shower doors. To create the texture of frosted glass, manufacturers etch one side with acid or sandblasting. This etching prevents light from cleanly passing through, creating a translucent appearance.

Since one side of the glass remains smooth, you can easily clean the surface. Additionally, the frosting keeps fingerprints and smudges from standing out as much as they do on clear glass. In some instances, though, cleaning the frosted side may be more challenging because soap scum can accumulate in the pits of the frosting.

If you live in a home with a large bathroom that you want to make cozier, choosing an opaque shower door does just that. Because you cannot see clearly through the shower, the room seems smaller and more inviting.
