hi
am in the process of doingour bathroom with a nice new modern, sleek hotel type look. Only problem is the end wall, which is the main thing you see when you enter the room has got hideous swirly frosted glass:eek: , this will spoil the whole look of the room.
It is UPVC. What are my options, is it a new unit? it is approx 1.5m wide by 1m tall. What are the best fitting options?
I know I could cover it but it is a north facing room so want max light in. Plain obscured glass would look so much better.
Thanks in advance

Leave the uPVC frame and replace the double glassed unit with a nicer frosted one. They are easy to take out, use something with a wide flat blade, like a chisel and insert in the first bit of the frame nearest the glass, work your way around all four (one on each side) of these and the glass will pop out, don't drop it. Measure this and call around for a decent price. Job Done!0

is there a more indepth details on how to do this anywhere?0 -
Or just get the glass wet & soapy and smooth on the glass covering film, squeegying the excess water out as you get it flat. You just see smooth surface, light still gets through, but you don't have the concern of boogering up the change just as the weather's changing - and you can leave it until next summer!I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0
