REEDED GLASS: Textured Architectural Reeded Glass for Privacy & Visual Impact
Reeded Glass is a decorative glass product featuring linear vertical or horizontal grooves on one or both surfaces, creating a striking textured effect that diffuses light, enhances privacy, and elevates interior or exterior design. Its unique surface pattern balance transparency and obscurity, making it a stylish solution for both functional and aesthetic applications.
This decorative glass can be combined with safety and performance treatments including tempered processing, insulated glass units (IGU), laminated safety structures, or applied with low‑iron compositions for higher clarity and light transmission.
Product Introduction
Reeded Glass (also called fluted glass) is manufactured by pressing or rolling glass between textured rollers during the hot forming process. The result is a continuous, linear pattern that adds depth, visual rhythm and tactile interest to the glass surface. Reeded glass not only provides an elegant design feature, but also helps to obscure direct lines of sight without sacrificing natural light.
With its enhanced light diffusion and privacy characteristics, reeded glass is ideal for contemporary architectural and interior environments where both beauty and function matter.
Available in various thicknesses and safety options, reeded glass can be customized to meet performance, safety and aesthetic requirements for a range of building applications.
