A Glass Home Office That Needed Privacy in Markham

Markham, ONCustom HomeAugust 2025

This modern custom home in Markham had a home office with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and glass doors. It looked great, but anyone walking past could see straight in. We frosted every glass panel and both doors edge to edge, and the office was private the same afternoon.

The Problem

An Office Anyone Could See Into

The home office had floor-to-ceiling glass walls and glass doors opening onto the main living area. It looked great, but anyone walking past could see straight in, which made calls and focused work uncomfortable.

After: door open, light still comes through

What We Did

Frosted Glass, Edge to Edge

We frosted the glass walls and both doors edge to edge, keeping the slim black frames as the design line. Each panel was measured and cut to fit, so there are no visible seams.

01
Measure Every Panel
Each glass wall panel and door was measured on its own.
02
Custom-Cut the Film
The frosted film was cut to fit each panel, so there are no visible seams.
03
Install Edge to Edge
Glass walls and both doors were covered, with the slim black frames kept as the design line.

Before and After

Same Office, Second Angle

Drag the slider to see the difference. The view into the office is gone, while the room keeps its bright, modern feel.

The Result

A Private Office the Same Afternoon

Daylight still passes through the frost, so the room stays bright.

The look matches the modern finishes of the house, and calls and focused work are private again. Learn more about our residential privacy window film and frosted options.
