Strukturglas

Strukturglas, also known as patterned glass or rolled glass, is a type of flat glass that has a decorative pattern or texture rolled into its surface while it is still molten. This process creates a translucent glass that obscures vision while still allowing light to pass through. The patterns can vary widely, from simple geometric shapes to more intricate designs, offering a range of aesthetic possibilities.

The manufacturing of Strukturglas typically involves passing molten glass between two rollers, one of which is engraved with the desired pattern. As the glass passes through, the pattern is imprinted onto its surface. The glass is then cooled and cut to size. This method allows for mass production of decorative glass with consistent patterns.

Strukturglas finds applications in various architectural and interior design settings. It is often used for privacy screening in bathrooms, shower enclosures, internal doors, and windows where natural light is desired but visual obscurity is necessary. Its decorative qualities also make it suitable for partitions, decorative panels, and furniture elements. The wide variety of available patterns allows it to complement different design styles. It is generally more affordable than etched or sandblasted glass while offering similar privacy benefits.
