What to do with old window?

What to do with old window?

 The house had an extension done by the previous owners. What used to be the back door to the backyard was turned into a door to a “rumpus room”. 
There are many areas in this room that need fixing, but I’m curious to see if anyone has any ideas for the window they left behind. 
it’s a very dark room, so I wouldn’t mind keeping some opening to let light in, but the window is gross. Thoughts? Or should we just plaster it up and call it a day?

Re: Suggestions: old window hole replacement

Hello @kikirock 

 

In order to prevent the room from going totally dark, I suggest using Pillar 0.9 x 2m Embossed Frost Adhesive Window Film. You can apply it to both sides of the glass for full privacy but still allow light to pass through. The window is also a source of ventilation so I would suggest keeping it for these reasons. 

 

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How To Frost Glass 

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
