Frequently Asked Questions

Which texture gives the most privacy?
Granite/Stipple is the most obscure, then Satin. Chinchilla and Narrow Reed let more light detail through — good for soft separation without blacking out the view.

Can textured glass be tempered for doors and showers?
Yes, on select textures — required by code in doors, shower enclosures, and panels near the floor. Tell us the application and we'll spec it.

How do I order the right size?
Measure width × height in inches to the nearest 1/16". For replacements, subtract 1/8" per dimension for frame clearance. Unsure? Email a photo and we'll walk you through it.

Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes — small cut samples of the popular textures are available. Ask and we'll send them out.

How does it ship?
Foam-corner crating with edge protection, nationwide. In-transit breakage replaced free. Local pickup in Melrose Park, IL.
