We all know a lot of light equals good mood, and those of us lucky enough to have the luxury of having a bathroom with many windows unfortunately often have to deal with another problem. That problem is privacy behind all those windows because nothing can really ruin a relaxing bath soaking session like seeing someone peeping at you from a window across the street. These problems are usually tackled by using curtains or positioning the tub and the shower away from the direct line of sight and while both options work, they often introduce their own set of problems to deal with, ranging from curtains that are always moist and dirty to lack of light which itself defies the purpose of having many windows in your bathroom. As technology advances, many everyday problems become easily solvable and that is the case with this one too. Privacy glass is basically normal glass with a thin layer of liquid crystals in the middle. When the switch is in on position the glass is completely transparent like any regular window, however, when you switch it off the glass becomes translucent, letting the light pass through, but the image behind the glass becomes blurred and you cannot see anything behind it.

While this technology has been available for a while, it is just starting to enter everyday use and what better place to use it than the bathroom? From keeping prying eyes off the bathroom while you are bathing to keeping the bathroom visible from the inside of your home while it’s not being used, the possible applications are numerous and we think privacy glass will find it’s way into more and more bathrooms soon.
