Reeded glass and its trademark textured ripples are often incorporated into modular glass walls, doors, displays, shelving, partitions, and dividers. 

Reeded glass is a popular feature within the retail and hospitality industries due to its functionality and aesthetics. Restaurants, hotels, and businesses selling a wide range of products benefit from its versatility and appeal. Frequently incorporated within displays and shelving, reeded glass gives retailers that extra splash of sophistication and flair to dazzle customers and showcase any number of goods or apparel. It enhances natural light, while also promoting privacy. 

Since the coronavirus pandemic, reeded glass has also seen wide use as partitions within bars and restaurants, bolstering health and safety while adding beauty and elegance to any establishment’s decor—whether a high-end boutique touting designer handbags and shoes, or a local cafe offering food and drink specials.

Healthcare Facilities

Hospitals, doctor’s offices, and other medical facilities utilize reeded glass to bolster privacy in examination rooms, reception areas, and more. Its textured design encourages discretion without full opaqueness, supporting confidentiality while also facilitating community among patients and staff. 

Corporate Offices & Commercial Spaces

Reeded glass is also widely used throughout corporate offices and other communal workplaces—with many businesses still adapting to hybrid and work-from-home schedules arising from the pandemic. 

Modular walls, partitions, and dividers enable such settings to customize layouts and designs according to occupancies. Reeded glass also infuses that ideal combination of moderate privacy and transparency into conference rooms—a welcome break from the isolation commonly associated with the schematics of home offices. 

Possible Design Configurations

Reeded glass can be combined with building materials such as wood and aluminum to create extraordinary designs that attract customers’ attention, impress patrons, and accentuate the products and services offered by any business. 

Aluminum

Partially glazed, fully glazed, or powdered aluminum adds depth, artistry, and support to reeded glass panes.   

Wood

With many unique, natural tones and textures, wood provides support and character to reeded glass utilized within offices, conference rooms, and common areas—blending simplicity with sophistication.
