Hello everyone,
we are about to have our window measurements taken, but we’re stuck on one issue.
Next to the front door, we have a separate floor-to-ceiling window, and on the floor above there are two floor-to-ceiling windows.
We are building a townhouse.
The two windows on the upper floor are hard to reach; one is located in the stairwell, and the other next to a small gallery.
Now our question.
On one hand, we want to be able to look outside, but we don’t want people to be able to see straight through all the floors and the hallway when the lights are on inside. These windows will not have roller shutters.
There are curtains that are opaque from the outside but allow clear view to the outside from the inside. However, since the windows are “floating” in the air, we find it
a) difficult to access them, and
b) in our opinion, they don’t look very good.
Is our only option to order the windows with frosted glass instead of clear glass? That way, we wouldn’t be able to see out.
Maybe you have a solution for us.

I don’t know of any stairwell window that is fitted with a roller shutter. However, I also don’t know anyone who has a problem with the interior light being visible from outside through the windows at night.Our neighbors diagonally across from us have, among other things, a roller shutter on their stairwell window. In their case, all shutters are always closed tightly in the evenings.

The question remains: what about “ribbon windows”?
Terrible! Windows are the eyes of the house – you need to be able to see life through them sometimes.
Nobody actually stops to take a peek anyway.
