Privacy Meets Style: How to Use Textured Glass in Your Home
Creative Ways to Enhance Privacy Without Sacrificing Light or Style
Looking for a way to add privacy to your home without making it feel closed off? Textured privacy glass might be the perfect solution. Whether you’re renovating a bathroom, upgrading your entryway, or adding a stylish touch to cabinet doors, textured glass offers both function and flair.
At Alamo Glass, we’ve been helping Austin homeowners customize their spaces with beautiful, high-quality textured glass panels for decades. Here’s how to use textured glass in your home—and why it's becoming one of our most popular upgrades.
What Is Textured or Obscure Glass?
Textured glass (also called obscure, patterned, or privacy glass) is glass that’s been embossed with a decorative pattern or surface texture during manufacturing. The result? A semi-transparent surface that distorts the view through the glass—giving you privacy while still allowing light to pass through.
Alamo Glass carries a wide selection of textures like:
- Rain
- Flemish
- Pattern 62
- Glue Chip
- Aquatex
- Reeded
and many more. You can explore some of the most popular patterns on our textured glass page.
