Your pattern is not here?
There are many more patterned glasses, also in bronze and grey. We will be glad to advise you.
Photos and pattern names: Frerichs Glas. Patterns look different on screen than in reality – the best way is to show you the glass in the original.
Good to know
Rolled, not drawn
Patterned glass is formed between two rollers at around 1,200 °C. The embossing on the rollers creates the pattern.
Light yes, view no
The pattern scatters the light: the room stays bright, the clear view is gone – in bathrooms, doors, balustrades or as privacy screening in offices.
Many also as safety glass
The patterns come in thicknesses from 4 to 12 mm, most of them also as toughened safety glass (ESG). Wired glass is not safety glass – the mesh holds the fragments if it breaks.
Frequently asked questions
How much does patterned glass block the view?
That depends on the pattern. Satin-finished glass such as Satina blocks the view the most, Chinchilla and Mastercarré clearly as well. With Cathedral and Altdeutsch K, outlines stay recognisable; Gothic and Listral are almost clear. We discuss which pattern suits your window or door when we measure up.
Is patterned glass available as safety glass?
Yes. Patterned glass can be toughened into toughened safety glass (ESG), for example for doors or shower screens.
What is patterned glass used for?
Wherever light should pass through without a clear view: bathroom windows, front and interior doors, shower screens, balustrades or privacy screening in offices.
