If you’ve been to Bar 89 you have seen this door. Its glass and when you close it the door becomes frosted so no one can see inside. What is this called? Where can I find it?

    I am a distributor in North America, but can ship this product anywhere in the world. Custom sizes and glass thickness are available, and cost ranges between 700-960 USD per square meter (FOB Vancouver) depending on your quantity. A remote control is included. This product is suitable for a wide variety of residential and commercial applications.Please email me your exact dimensions and qty, and I will send you a quote and technical specs. paul@intergate.ca

  3. It’s called Privacy Glass. It works w/ an electrical current that when switched changes the glass from clear/semi-transparant to translucent/opaque. We were looking to use it on a past design project, but it ain’t cheap, last I looked it runs around $100/sf. Possibly has come down in cost lately but best to talk to a reputable supplier for real cost info.
