We don’t want clear glass for the small guest toilet window or the stairwell window that is over 3m (10 feet) long. The neighbors are very close.
What would be more advisable in this case and why?
Frosted glass or satin-finished glass? Which looks more high-quality?

And can you get a window over 3m (10 feet) long as a single piece, or is it usually divided into two sections?

Slow when cold and quite expensive. Not really a viable option for large areas.

It’s just about a window. (Price was about 2000€ per m²)
For me, it works perfectly, but it is also installed indoors. How slow exactly? I think the speed is negligible in this case.

Slow means you finish on the toilet until it becomes opaque. But only outdoors and in cold conditions.

Maybe it could work in combination with insulated glass. The inner pane made of liquid crystal and the outer one regular glass. This way, temperature wouldn’t be an issue, and you would have the advantage of being able to choose between a transparent or frosted window as desired.
I’m not sure if it’s feasible, but generally, almost anything is possible. (However, the window is already installed here, so this option is unfortunately not applicable.)
