Residential Case Study
A Ground-Floor Window Facing a Busy Plaza in Vaughan
This ground-floor unit in Vaughan has a large window looking straight onto a busy plaza parking lot. The only way to get privacy was to keep the curtains closed, which blocked the light. We frosted the full window, including the upper transom panes, in one visit.

The Problem
Privacy Meant Closing the Curtains
A large ground-floor window looked straight onto a busy plaza parking lot. The only way to get privacy was to keep the curtains closed, which blocked the light.
The Trade-Off Open curtains meant no privacy. Closed curtains meant no light.
- A large ground-floor window
- A direct view from a busy plaza parking lot
- Curtains closed for privacy meant no daylight
The GoalGet privacy and keep the light, with the curtains open.
