When it comes to windows, you may not think they are very private. They’re built to look through, right? Generally, yes, but there are plenty of ways to make new vinyl windows more private through glass options, curtains, blinds, and other elements. While not everyone wants to block natural light with blinds, everyone does need privacy in their Dallas, TX home…especially in certain rooms of the house.

Enhance Privacy While Showcasing Windows

The key to privacy along with vinyl windows is to get the natural light you want without taking away from privacy. Sure, you can install blinds and drapes, but that takes out the natural light you want as well. Plus, if you have a small room, like a bathroom, covering up the window makes it seem more cramped. Luckily, there are a wide number of options available for giving your vinyl windows privacy so you can get the light you want alongside the privacy you need.

Available Options

There are a number of manufacturers who offer glass inserts that give you privacy without hindering light. You can get things like glass block windows for bathrooms, for example, that allow you plenty of light, but no one can see in. There are also translucent options that offer conventional appeals. You can get a variety of textures and patterns in your glass that come from semi—opaque to fully translucent so you get to pick your degree of privacy. You might also consider tinted glass, which cones in a wide range of tones and thickness as well. You can shade a room that gets too hot in the summer, and yet still let in natural light and get privacy all at once.

Determining Privacy Ranges

When it comes to your home, only you can decide how private you want the vinyl windows to be. In the bathroom, chances are you want that room to be private almost all the time, if not all the time. In those cases, glass that is textured that you can never see through is best. If you want something that has a larger range, you might go for a variety within a window grouping. In the bedroom, for example, you might have three windows. Two can be normal glass while the middle one is tinted or textured. You can get natural light from the middle window at all times, and block the other two when you want privacy. The range of privacy and options is completely up to your tastes.
