Default "Unbreakable" frosted "glass"

Tempered glass has to be custom made to the exact size. It can't be
cut. It also breaks into a bazillion pieces which is a pain in the ass
to clean up. Laminated glass can be cut to size and stays intact when
the glass breaks. I've used laminated glass in bathrooms, drawn up a
design in Autocad and had a local sign shop cut a vinyl frosted decal
that was applied to the glass. Looks like a million bucks and cost
less than half that.

Polycarbonate would work, as would acrylic. In your situation either
would be okay. Polycarbonate is stronger and more expensive.


Thanks. I'll probably go with Lexan, provided it looks right.
