All-glass bathrooms debut in Texas town

Sulphur Springs, Texas, recently debuted all-glass restrooms that are the first of their kind in the United States, according to recent ABC News report. Located in the middle of a busy downtown square, the bathrooms allow users to see out but keep others from seeing in. 

David Gideon of the Commercial Glass & Mirror Co.  fabricated the glass for the structure and told ABC News that they had to build several prototypes before finding the right combination of glass that you couldn’t see into. In order for the illusion to work properly, the outside of the structure had to be more lit than the inside, Gideon said. These bathrooms have no lights on the inside and in order to see at night, LED lights were placed on the outside of the structure, for the illusion to remain.
