Glass Types
The below examples are not all an encompassing view of the various glass types. It is just used for reference.
Cathedral Glass - has been used extensively in churches (often for non-pictorial windows) and for decorative glass in domestic and commercial buildings, both leaded and not, often in conjunction with drawn sheet glass and sometimes with decorative sections of beveled glass. It lets in light while reducing visibility and is an inexpensive, but useful and decorative material.
Cathedral glass looks best in a lighted window, and will look dark without light behind it. This type will also let in more natural light because it is translucent.
Opalescent Glass - Opalescent glass can be one solid color, but it is generally a mixture of two or more colors with streaks and swirls. Opalescent stained glass is generally translucent (glass that allows only some light through, so that objects on the other side appear blurry) but often almost opaque (neither reflecting nor emitting light; allowing little or no light to pass through).
It looks good both with and without light behind it - though it can often look very different each way. Because it is opaque, opalescent glass provides the highest amount of privacy. In other words, it is difficult to see through.
Clear Textured Glass - looks best in a lighted window, is translucent, and allows for natural light. Clear textured glass, sometimes called architectural glass, can add incredible depth and beauty to your home. Textures, ranging from subtle to dramatic, add privacy, movement, and create ambiance in designs like nothing else.
