# Glass types for doors and partitions: design and privacy at the same time Modern glass options let you combine light, privacy and style exactly as each room needs. Glass is no longer just a transparent material – today's options offer a wide choice of glass types that let you combine light, privacy and style exactly as a particular room requires. Where it works: ## Clear glass The classic option, giving maximum light transmission and a visual connection between rooms. Rooms where privacy is not a priority – for example shared office areas or partitions in living spaces where openness matters. ## Frosted (satin) glass Glass with a treated surface that diffuses light, letting it flow freely into the room while hiding clear silhouettes. Bathroom doors and private offices where you need privacy without losing daylight. ## Patterned glass Glass with a decorative texture or pattern that gives a room character while partly limiting visibility. Entrance doors where you want a decorative accent, or partitions that call for a creative, individual solution. ## Coloured glass Glass with a coloured coating or an inserted coloured layer, creating a bold, expressive accent in the room. Modern interiors and spaces where brand or design identity matters. ## Partly frosted / band design A combined solution where part of the glass is clear and part frosted, creating an interesting visual effect and functional privacy zoning in a single panel. Office partitions that need both a visual connection with the rest of the space and a privacy zone (for example at eye level). ## How to choose the right solution? ### Assess the room's function How important is privacy in this specific spot? Is the room used for meetings, relaxing, or as a walk-through area? ### Consider the flow of light Even privacy glass (frosted or patterned) keeps much of the daylight, unlike a solid wall – a real benefit for rooms without direct access to windows. ### Think about the overall style The glass type can become a design element in its own right – patterned or coloured glass can be the room's visual accent, not just a functional solution. ## Related reading Aluminium glass partitions → Quality exterior doors → Door size and opening → ## Planning a partition or door project and want to explore glass options?
