Default Window that you can see out but not see in

Also, normal obscured glasses in a window for some reason do not appeal to
me, frosted glass look cleaner and better. So I was just looking for
something specific and I think the one way glass would do what I want, if
it's affordable. I saw it in a hotel and my friend told me even with the
room light turned on, you cannot see from outside in and I tried it and he
is right. However, it does seem to not let too much light in, so I think
another poster's opinion about it being a mirror film embedded in between
panes of glasses is correct.

You need to find a creative glass craftsperson. They're out there. Maybe
call an architect's office and ask for recommendations. Some of these places
are buried unobtrusively in industrial parks, instead of having flashy
storefronts and big ads in the yellow pages.


Frosted glass may be hard to find, but you should easily be able to
find reeded glass, which will reveal only shadows and looks great and
would be easy to install in your current window.
