We are all now well aware of the importance of glass in buildings and its role in preserving the environment and protecting property from the harmful rays of the sun.
And emphasize the elegant aesthetic appearance of the building internally and externally.
Privacy glass comes at the forefront of the best types of glass, as it achieves a strong balance and is a unique solution to most of the functional needs of the building. It combines privacy, visibility, comfort and technology at the same time.
What is privacy glass?
and its types?
It is a type of glass that is used in architecture.
and is designed in a certain way to provide privacy when used.
When we say vision glass, we mean that the view from the outside can be blocked without much impact on the natural light that passes into the building’s interior.
The glass is made of tempered glass consists of several layers of glass.
separated by a vacuum filled with an inert gas (such as argon).
The gas used minimizes the transfer of heat and light from the outside to the inside.
providing thermal and light insulation for the building.
Types of insulating glass:
There are several types of tempered glass.
These are the most common:
- Reflective glass
- Colored glass
- Double or triple layered glass
- Smart glass
- Vinyl glass
- Smart Glass
- Bubble glass
- Frosted glass
- Frosted glass
- Decorative glass

-
Reflective glass:
This type of privacy glass has a thin layer of metal on one side.
This layer reflects light from outside to inside to provide privacy.
Reflective glass may be tinted blue, green, gray, or any color.
-
Colored glass:
Glass covered with a pigment or a thin layer of minerals.
which minimizes the amount of light that passes through the glass.
This provides privacy and helps reduce the high temperature generated by the sun inside the building.
You can get any color you want.
-
Double or triple layered glass:
Safety glass, this type of glass consists of two or three layers of glass, separated by a vacuum filled with inert argon gas. The gas reduces the transmission of heat and light from the outside to the inside, and can be of various colors. It remains transparent in low light and becomes opaque in high light.
-
Smart glass:
This type of glass has a thin layer of material that can change its transparency in response to light and heat.
It can be used to provide privacy and thermal insulation.
-
Vinyl glass:
The surface of this type is treated with fluoride acid to make it an insulating glass.
It allows light to pass into the interior and blocks the view to the outside.
-
Smart Glass:
The transparency of this glass can be controlled by changing the electric current that passes through it.
This type of glass allows for better vision insulation and enables the user to adjust the level of visibility as needed.
(This is by changing the electric current that passes through it)
-
Bubble glass:
Glass that blocks vision because it contains internal air bubbles.
Scatters vision and provides a high level of privacy.
-
Frosted glass:
This type is polished with matte coarse grit.
We offer it in our establishment in a variety of colors and shades.
-
Frosted glass:
It is polished with slightly smaller grains of frosted glass.
making its surface smoother but opaque.
Frosted glass is available in a variety of colors and shades.
-
Decorative glass:
Ordinary glass is decorated with a pattern or design.
However, it is recommended that it should be completely obscured and become an insulating glass.
The decoration is done in several ways.
such as cutting, painting.
engraving and dyeing.
These types are used in a wide variety of applications to provide privacy and visibility control while allowing natural light into the building.
Uses of privacy glass:
Privacy glass is used in many applications.
such as:
- windows and doors.
- Exterior glass facades of buildings.
- Roofs of buildings.
- Swimming pools.
- bathrooms.
- The rear windows of buses and trains.
- Try-on rooms for stores.
- Operating rooms and isolation rooms.
Advantages of using insulating glass in buildings:
- Visor glass provides a high level of privacy and blocks the view from the outside in.
- Controls the level of visibility.
whether through the use of insulating films.
or smart curtain technologies that allow you to adjust the transparency of the glass. - Ensures high degrees of safety and security; some types are thicker.
- Controlling the light entering the building, which helps to provide comfort and reduce the intensity of lighting, especially in homes.
- Energy efficient; this is by balancing the internal temperatures of the building, preventing air leakage, and allowing natural light to pass through.
and letting natural light in.
(Ensures you don’t have to use chillers and lamps for long periods of time) - Enhance interior design; by giving a sleek modern look (it can now be used in various engineering applications).
- Improved indoor air quality; sometimes with smart ventilation technologies.
But.
Are all types of glass able to become an opaque glass?!
Can all types of glass be vision glass?
No, no.
Not all types of glass can become an opaque glass.
It depends on the properties of the glass and how it is designed.
There are types that are specially designed to achieve greater privacy and block vision.
and others to be transparent and allow light and vision to fully pass through.
As mentioned, glass is usually treated in certain ways to achieve privacy.
Can ordinary glass be coated so that it becomes an opaque glass?
Ordinary glass can be coated with special materials to make it visually impenetrable.
by means of:
- Use self-adhesive Privacy Films on the surface of the glass.
(Usually made of vinyl or polyester materials.
of varying transparency) - Coating with acid such as fluoride acid to coat glass and make it opaque.
- Apply a reflective coating to the glass to achieve blocking the view from the outside.
