Textured Glass

The Pro Classic Range from Glass Projects offers a sophisticated selection of textured and patterned glass, designed to introduce privacy, diffuse light, and add a distinctive decorative element to architectural spaces. This type of glass is typically manufactured by passing molten glass between rollers, one of which is embossed with a specific pattern. This process imparts a distinct texture to one surface of the glass, while the other surface remains relatively smooth. The result is a translucent material that obscures direct vision while still allowing excellent light transmission.

Key attributes of the Pro Classic Range include:

• Privacy Control: Offers varying degrees of visual obscurity, depending on the chosen pattern and texture, making it ideal for spaces requiring privacy without sacrificing natural light.

• Light Diffusion: Scatters incoming light, reducing glare and creating a softer, more evenly illuminated interior environment.

• Decorative Appeal: Provides a rich palette of patterns – from subtle and contemporary to more traditional and ornate – allowing architects and designers in New Zealand to create unique visual interest.

• Tactile Quality: The textured surface adds a tangible dimension to glazed elements, enhancing the sensory experience of a space.

• Versatility: Many patterns within the Pro Classic Range can be toughened (Pro Tuf) for enhanced safety and strength, laminated (Pro Lam) for increased safety or acoustic benefits, or incorporated into Insulated Glass Units (Pro Comfort) by Glass Projects.

Glass Projects specifies the Pro Classic Range for a wide variety of interior and exterior applications where the interplay of light, privacy, and aesthetic character is desired. The choice of pattern significantly influences the final look and level of obscurity.

• Interior Partitions & Screens: Creates elegant and functional divisions in offices, hospitality settings, and high-end residential interiors, defining spaces while maintaining an open feel.

• Doors: Used for entry doors, internal doors, and cabinet doors where a degree of privacy or a decorative touch is sought.

• Windows: Ideal for bathroom windows, sidelights, and other areas where privacy is essential without the need for blinds or curtains.

• Shower Enclosures: A popular choice for shower screens, offering both privacy and a wide range of design options.

• Furniture & Cabinetry: Incorporated into tabletops, shelving, and display cabinets for a unique aesthetic.

• Lighting Fixtures: Can be used to diffuse light in custom lighting designs.

• Decorative Features: Employed as wall cladding, balustrade infill panels (when appropriately processed for safety), or bespoke art installations.
