Frosted glass is used on windows that will let in sunlight, but will stop people looking in from outside. A bathroom, or glass panels on an external door, will usually have frosted glass for privacy. Apart from frosted, other patterns can be used - small dimples, raised spots or lines, etc, can also be used.

What are the windows on a space station made of?
Tempered Glass. The panes are very thick (2 to 3 inches) to assure no breakage.
How energy efficient are pella windows?
Pella windows are very energy efficient. One reason is that these windows have multiple panes of glass that help with protection from the elements. Pella windows also have a layer of argon gas between panes of glass to better insulate the windows.
How many windows does the TARDIS have?
Two windows on each side so that's eight. Each window has 6 panes of glass so that's 48 panes.
What are space crafts windows made out of?
Very thick thermal panes windows, which is glass and acrylic thermally bonded together. They may very well be double glazed also.
How many windows are in Chase Tower Phoenix AZ?

When was glass first used in window panes?
Glass was first used in window panes around 300 B.C. The first glass panes were small squares of glass held together with lead strips.
What state of matter is glass?
Glass is a solid. Specifically, it is an amorphous solid. The reason that many old panes of glass are thicker at one end is because the medieval glaziers sometimes could not cast perfectly uniform sheets of glass and, for obvious reasons, put the thicker end at the bottom. glass is actually a liquid. older windows tend to be thicker at the bottom than at the top. this is because, though it moves VERY slowly, it is a liquid, not a solid. This is a MASSIVE oversimplification of a highly technical argument. It's also factually incorrect; panes of glass in old windows are thicker at the bottom because they were thicker on one edge to begin with (due to how panes of glass were made at the time) and the glaziers cleverly figured out that, hey, they balance better if you put the WIDE edge on the BOTTOM instead of the top. Also, you can without too much difficulty find windows where they put the glass in any old way, and the thick edge is on the top on some panes, and on the left on some panes, and on the right on some panes, and on the bottom on some panes. To put the final nail in the coffin, the lead solder used to hold the panes in place (which NOBODY argues is a liquid) often has a measurably LOWER viscosity than the glass does, but you don't see little puddles of lead at the bottom of the windows. Among materials scientists, the preferred term is "amorphous solid" or, indeed, "glass". (Not universally, but by a pretty clear majority.) Those who are primarily interested in thermodynamics properties will sometimes use "supercooled liquid."
Why do windows in American houses have those white strips It blocks the line of view and makes the windows look small?
The white strips you are referring to are called mullions (vertical) and transoms (horizontal). In older windows, the panes of glass were smaller, because there were not simple and cheap methods to manufacture and support large panes of glass. To make windows that were larger than the individual panes of glass they were grouped in a larger frame or sash, and separated by mullions and transoms.Some modern buildings use small panes of glass to copy older style buildings, and because it is now cheaper and more efficient to produce larger windows, sometimes fake mullions and transoms are stuck onto windows to copy the older look. Real mullions and transoms can add strength, support and security, but not if they are thin and small. Fake mullions and transoms add nothing, and arguably detract from the appearance as well.
Glass is an example of what?
Glass is melted silica. Some of the products made from this process are glass bottles, window panes, and decorative beads.
Is glass repair cheap for windows?
The cost of window glass repair varies according to window needing to be fixed. Basic glass window panes for standard windows are lower cost. Anything that must be custom cut or fitted will be more expensive.
What is the difference between glass and window panes?
When its time for window replacement for your home, there are several options for you to choose from. Lets look at two different windows made of the same material but using different manufacturing processes for the window components. Vinyl replacement windows are very common and made using components made of polyvinyl chloride or PVC.
