Reeded Glass
What is 5mm Reeded Glass Panels?
5mm reeded glass panels are decorative architectural glass sheets that feature a series of narrow, vertical grooves (or “reeds”) running across their surface. This strikes a perfect balance between strength, durability, and visual elegance. The reeded texture diffuses light while maintaining partial visibility, creating a soft, translucent effect that offers both privacy and style.
Aesthetic and Functional Benefits
Reeded glass panels are a popular choice for modern and classic interiors alike. Their ribbed design not only enhances visual interest but also allows natural light to pass through while blurring outlines, making them ideal for privacy partitions, shower screens, cabinet doors, office dividers, and entryways.
