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.

How is glass manufactured?
Silica sand and other minerals are melted. Sometimes color is added. The molten glass is poured into a mold and cools quickly. Immediately after the mold it is put in a 900 degrees Fahrenheit kiln. When the people are done making the glass they turn off the kiln and allow the glass to cool slowly. Panes of glass are made when molten glass is pressed between two rollers, forming a long thin sheet of glass.
What is double glazed windows made of?
Usually glass. Double glazed means there are two sheets of glass, with a small (maybe 1 cm) gap between them. The gap is just a vaccume, but it helps to keep the room cool or warm.

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."
