While the tall, imposing glass walls and door of this house are absolutely lovely, without privacy glass they would have posed a few problems for the inhabitants. Firstly, with this amount of glass, the interior would have been far too exposed to the curious eyes of neighbours and passers-by. Feeling secure and private while at home is important; no one likes to feel as though they are on display.
The frosted vinyl decal designs chosen for these glass walls afford the inhabitants a very high level of privacy because most of the glass surface has been rendered opaque. The middle panes and the door itself, however, bear an elegant and attractive design. This detail adds sophisticated flair and gives the entrance to the home a more glamorous look.
From a safety perspective, too much glass can also be a problem. When thieves and burglars can see into your home, they’re able to see the contents of your house. Advertising the fact that you have a flat screen TV, a laptop on the living room table and a state-of-the-art sound system will encourage thieves to target your house. Not only does privacy glass prevent would-be burglars from eyeing out your possessions, it also makes it more difficult to know when your house is unoccupied.
One reason why this family opted to transform these glass walls into privacy glass through the use of frosted window vinyl could have been the cost. Frosted window vinyl is incredibly cost-effective when compared to curtains. The cost and complications associated with hanging curtains of this length are no joke – nor is keeping them clean. Check out this pricing calculator for an idea of how much you can expect to pay for frosted window vinyl decals made to fit your glass walls or windows.
