Designed for privacy, this textured glass style is often implemented in healthcare facilities, corporate offices, and other workplaces where confidentiality is paramount.
Crafted by float glass manufacturers with reputable commercial glass fabricators such as Dillmeier Glass Company, reeded glass differs from ribbed or “fluted” glass through shape, thickness, and groove levels.
Reeded glass emits subtle hints of light, while still maintaining required privacy.
Reeded glass is a type of patterned or textured glass characterized by so-called “ripples” that can vary in size, shape, and dimensions depending upon intended use. The style is popular for workplaces prioritizing privacy, and well suited for modular glass walls, doors, partitions, and dividers. Standard thickness ranges from 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch lites
Float manufacturers press glass between metal rollers for custom “reeded” patterns, and Dillmeier Glass Company then implements unique finish work, cutting, shaping, edging, and polishing it into desired styles and specifications.
Reeded glass utilized for partitions and dividers is compatible with an in-house, proprietary drill-free clamping system—which won’t leave behind any holes, marks, or scratches upon removal.

Key Differences Between Reeded Glass & Ribbed Glass
Reeded glass grooves are more concave and hollowed than ribbed, while boasting a “fluted,” smooth, flowing design. Consisting of either clear or low-iron glass, reeded glass promotes natural light while maintaining privacy.
