A type of glass that has been treated with an acid etching process, sandblasting or a film to make it translucent and obscure the view of anything behind it. It is commonly used in bathroom windows, shower doors, and office partitions to provide privacy while still allowing light to pass through. It is also used as a decorative element in interior design, lighting fixtures, and other architectural applications. Frosted glass can be combined with other types of glass like laminated, tempered and tinted glass to provide added safety, security, and UV protection.
