What are Pattern Glass Windows?
Many people equate patterned glass with stained glass, but for more than 150 years pattern glass windows have been used to provide a measure of privacy while letting the sunlight in. It was first produced by rolling a textured pattern onto a sheet of cooling molten glass, leaving a permanent imprint behind. Since the glass was the same thickness as regular windows, it was the perfect substitute in windows and doors. Modern versions come in a range of colors and include tempered or laminated glass for safety.
