What is this? Some type of acrylic window?

If you look closely, you can see the window has a texture pattern.

They're about five feet square. And heavy.

They were installed somewhere at some point. But I don't know what.

All I can see from your photo is dust and light glare. But from your description it sounds like frosted glass. Probably commercial.

Yoda is right , it would be easier to tell if all the stuff was out of the way & we had a couple of closer pics of a clean area of the glass .


The second pic kinda looks like what is called pattern 62 textured glass , but it;s hard to tell .


You should also look for a small "tempered" logo in one of the corners of the glass . If it is tempered glass , you can't cut it.....

All sorts of frosted and textured glass available. Normally used for privacy. I can't see a thing from those photos. Which of the below samples does it look closest to ? A glass shop will have many styles available, if you are trying to match it.

Probably something someone got for free, and thought it was too good to throw away.

And here I was thinking those pics were pretty decent. :biggrin2:

No tempered logo.

You know what happens when people assume... These are heavy and behind some clutter, and I assumed the whole glass is like the one side. But the other side looks like smooth, normal glass. When looking at the smooth side, you can see the texturing, but it's all from the other side. The other side, you can feel the texturing.

The texture part is apparently a fairly thin layer of some sort. It extends under the metal border frame.

Thanks, everyone. And thanks for the interesting links, SPS-1. My curiosity is satisfied, though I took more pictures in case someone else's wasn't. These are the best pics I can do without manhandling the thing outside to more sunlight, and even then maybe they wouldn't be any better.

One pic is from the other, smooth side. It's hard to tell from the picture it's smooth and looks normal, but it is. Halloween is coming up, so I put a scary shadowy hand in that picture.

If they are tempered don't try to cut them down.
