Any glass experts in?

Looks very similar to some I fitted last month in some internal doors which was acid etched, as Alucidnation mentions; very spendy! Pilkington Optifloat Opal
Satin is the generic name for it.
Don’t have sandblasted in a shower screen it’s virtually uncleanable on the blasted side.
Satin can be difficult to clean but is better, ask whoever makes it to clearsheild or ritec the rough side it will keep scum and scale down.
The best option is to have laminated glass with a diffused (65%) EVA interlayer, then you won’t have cleaning issues, but it is costly.

Could be white laminated, easy to get cut to size and the edge polished. I got 3 pieces last week 850x600 and they were about £32 each.

Having a devil of a time getting anyone to price Optilam I Colour. Thickness is an issue as is edge polishing.https://www.pilkington.com/en/global/products/prod...
Price incoming on satin with ritec.
Seeing the quality of some wraps/tints these days Simpos solution might be worth investigating.
My gardener, believe it or not, turned out to be a wizard at applying film - my Mum's house had a clear glass shower screen and while she was having a cup of tea with him to talk about the garden, she mentioned that she was going to have to get a frosted one.
"Wait till tomorrow", he said, "I know how to fix that".
He turned up today with three different films, a squeegee, and a spray bottle. All done in about 15 minutes.
Guy used to be a window cleaner (ex-SAS window cleaner of course
) and had is squeegee skills right down. Charged her £20 including materials, and trimmed the edges perfectly so it looks like proper frosted glass.
She's chuffed as anything, and he says if she ever scratches it or anything to give him a ring and he'll be out within the week and do it again.For the same price.
That's a better response time than British Gas.
