Manufacture
The surface structure of the glass is created in a special manufacturing process: the glass is moulded between two rollers at 1,200°C and processed accordingly, then cooled and cut to size. Embossing in the rollers gives the glass its more or less heavily ornamented surface. Depending on the type of roller, glasses with stars, waves, honeycombs, prisms and other embossed shapes are created in the glass surface. Structured glass as insulating glass
Structured glass can also be processed into insulating glass. We will be happy to provide you with a quotation for this. Please specify the glass dimensions and the desired glass thickness when ordering.Glass sizes
Due to the manufacturing process, the glass dimensions are limited to the specified panel size. Customised production in larger dimensions is not possible. We would like to point out that structured glass may have moulded edges due to the production process and may therefore differ in size.Light diffusion and possible applications
In contrast to flat float glass, structured glass is not transparent, but translucent. They refract light in their own unique way and create a diffuse lighting effect, but still have a high level of light transmission.These glasses are still often used today as a design element in entrance doors. Structured glass is particularly suitable for rooms where light needs to enter but a clear view is not desired, e.g. in bathrooms, room doors, skylights or as a privacy screen in offices.
Purchase quantities and prices
Our quoted prices are per panel for collection from our warehouse in Freiburg. We are happy to offer you the cutting to size as an additional service.Glass-specific features
Due to the manufacturing process, the glass may have small irregularities and colour deviations: varying glass thicknesses, small air inclusions or surface markings give the glass its characteristic charm.
