For privacy, some premise owner would put up "sandblast" or obscure film on the tempered glass fixed panel on their shop front but with some spacing pattern for some visibility.
The disadvantage of putting up full height "sandblast" film on the tempered glass fixed panel is the obscure view caused to both the people inside and outside the premise.
The new trend of getting privacy from tempered glass fixed panel in the shop front is installing it with roller blind. It is very modern looking which also gives some touch of design to it.
The major plus point one enjoys from having the roller blinds for the tempered glass fixed panel is it's flexibility of use.
