Extension 3 One engineer using this data decides to use a glass mix that is less obscuring, because the amount of light getting through is reduced by making it too cloudy. Another engineer wants to make it more obscure because he wants to ensure privacy in the bathroom. The director of the department decides that the glass should be less obscure. Do you think they are right? What might have made them make this decision? 4 Many types of obscuring glass are not frosted, but have a wobbly surface. Describe how this does the same job.
