Default Window that you can see out but not see in

So it's a matter of tinting? I thought it's more than that, some sort

of
polarized glass? If it's just a matter of tinting I wonder why they
wouldn't even quote me.

Or may be they thought I was talking about this:

If you're just looking for privacy, you can also get decorative window
films. They make mirror type ones, patterned like crinkly looking ones,
and decorative stained glass looking ones. For privacy, what about glass
block? That would take care of the privacy and sturdiness factor. I
currently have transparent textured contact paper on my bathroom window,
as a do-it-yourself privacy measure. It lets the light in, but doesn't let
you see through from either direction though.



Good idea (blocks). And, frosted glass is another option that some builders
already use for bathroom windows. I wonder if a glass dealer could frost the
glass that's already in place. It would be a bitch to find out more, though.
It might involve using a high-tech device called a phone.

Hey...look at this wild idea:
