How to obscure 'wavy' (non-flat) glass?

Suzkin

My front door has 9 largish 'wavy' glass panels i.e. the surface is not flat glass. I think it looks horrid, and as I can't replace the door, was wondering how to best 'obscure' them?

I can't lay an obscured plastic sheet onto the glass, as the surface is uneven. :mad: I've spray painted the glass (a metallic gold colour), but didn't like this, so am scrapping it off.:o

What I'm really wanting is a simple natural opaque colour - without any streaks.

Any suggestions?

window film ?

Attach a net curtain / voile panel to the back, secured at both the top and bottom so that it doesn't flap around as you open and close the door?

Won't any further treatment prevent light coming in?

If you can't change the door, why not just change the glass?

One side of wavy glass is normally flat. Treat that side or turn the panes around

That's the whole point: film won't sit on the panes - both sides are uneven.:o

Thanks for this suggestion, although I'm wanting a 'cleaner - cut' look, as I don't want to hang things on the door.

I think it's (or I'm) doomed...:o

As per post #4 - just change the glass. If its a wooden door, there will be beading that holds the glass in place, that can be removed by a competent person. If its uPVC, there will be plastic beading which is even easier. If this is your front door, get a glazing company to supply laminated glass for improved security. If it is an internal door, I'd still recommend toughened (safety) glass.

Thanks - wasn't sure how simple a task it would be. I'll take a closer look at the door. It's not very robust, and so am wondering whether it would be worth the expense.

Hi All,

I've decided to buy a new, substantial door - it's the only way to get what I want, that is also durable and worthwhile in the long term.

Thanks for all your posts on this matter - you've helped make up my mind!
