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:

Contac (the makers of shelf lining film) makes a semi-opaque film that
can be put on a window. The one I have on my ground floor bathroom
window is a diamond pattern. Lets the light in or out, but diffuses it.

Martha Stewart also has a line of contact paper.
