Another thing I was careful to avoid is non-flat glass, which I often see.
It doesn't affect the view through it, but the reflections off it make it
look like plastic windows on a dolls house!

Tangent alert!

I'd have you publicly flogged if you hadn't enjoyed that so much the last
time.

Our windows are all still original Victorian sash, and many panes (with
flaws) are probably original, too. One bedroom window, at the front, is
odd. Traditional sash, with four panes of glass, yet one of the four
always looks as though it is not there, from outside. It just looks dark,
and you would think the whole pane was missing. Looking out, from the
bedroom, it looks exactly like the other three. No idea why.

Presumably the outer surface is different because
it got broken and replaced at some time.
