The most common options are clear glass, opal glass, and tinted glass, and for certain applications, ultra-clear and coloured glass are also available. The choice depends on how much of a view, light, and privacy you want, as well as the look you’re going for. Clear glass provides the best view and the most light, while ultra-clear glass has a less green tint for an extra-clear look.
Opal glass lets daylight through but hides detail, and tinted glass, such as grey, gives a darker look and slightly more privacy. The same glass types are available for windbreaks. You can combine glass types in the same project, for example clear glass facing the view and opal glass facing the neighbours.
