I can see into our neighbours kitchen if I stand right in front of our ensuite window...but I never do unless I'm opening it, or opening/closing the plantations. All toilets are separate.

Re: Bathroom Windows - Obscure or Clear? 25Jun 25, 2015 10:04 am We went clear. I want light in the bathroom and if you have a fence nearby then we don't foresee privacy issues. I've lived in houses with obscure glass and windows with blinds which got shut anyway so figured what's the point. I love the look.

Depends... Brick veneer required the window to be attached to the house frame, this is usually achieved by screwing through the timber reveal into the frame.
