Fluted Reeded Tempered Glass

Custom fluted and reeded tempered glass for glass distributors, fabricators, furniture manufacturers, and architectural contractors. Specify glass type, rib profile, thickness, dimensions, edgework, and fabrication requirements according to your project drawings.

Linear Texture with Natural Light Transmission
Distinctive Ribbed Design
Parallel ribs create a linear decorative effect that softens direct sightlines while allowing daylight to pass through. The visual screening effect varies with the rib profile, lighting, viewing angle, and distance.

Thermally Tempered Safety Glass
Thermal tempering increases mechanical strength and resistance to thermal stress compared with annealed glass of comparable thickness. When broken, properly manufactured tempered glass is designed to fragment into smaller particles, reducing the risk of severe cutting injuries.

Specification-Based B2B Supply
Custom configurations can be reviewed according to base glass type, nominal thickness, rib profile, panel dimensions, edge finish, and required holes or notches.
Typical Buyers: Glass wholesalers, importers, architectural glass fabricators, furniture manufacturers, interior contractors, and project procurement teams.

Available Specification Options

Clear vs. Low-Iron Glass
Clear glass may show a green tint, particularly along exposed edges. Low-iron glass reduces this green tint and offers a more color-neutral appearance. Final selection should consider the project's visual requirements and the approved physical sample.

Important Specification Note
Not every rib profile is available in every thickness or processing configuration. Confirm pattern availability, fabrication limits, dimensional tolerances, and applicable compliance requirements before placing a bulk order.

Match the Glass to the Project
Office Partitions
Provides decorative screening while maintaining daylight transmission. Confirm panel dimensions, support details, thickness, and the required safety glazing specification.

Glass Doors and Entrances
Review hinge and handle positions, edge clearances, panel weight, and hardware compatibility before tempering.

Cabinet Doors and Wardrobes
Confirm frame compatibility, panel dimensions, rib orientation, and visual alignment across adjacent panels.

Shower Enclosures
Specify the required safety glazing, edge finish, hardware cutouts, and compatibility with the selected enclosure system.

Retail and Hospitality Interiors
Document the approved glass type, pattern, thickness, and visual acceptance criteria to support consistency across multiple panels and repeat orders.

Engineering Limitation
Fluted tempered glass is not automatically suitable for every structural application. Balustrades, overhead glazing, high-wind facades, and other safety-critical installations may require laminated safety glass, system-specific calculations, or additional testing. Confirm the complete glass construction and applicable local requirements with the project engineer before ordering.

Processing Sequence
Drawing and Specification Review
Confirm the glass type, nominal thickness, rib direction, finished dimensions, edgework, and all hole or notch positions against approved drawings.

Cutting and Edge Processing
Cutting, drilling, notching, and edge processing must be completed before thermal tempering. Once tempered, the glass cannot be conventionally cut, drilled, or notched without destroying the panel.

Thermal Tempering
Tempering parameters must be suitable for the selected glass thickness and textured pattern. Product feasibility and acceptable visual characteristics should be confirmed for the specific configuration.

Final Inspection
Inspection criteria should cover finished dimensions, edge condition, visible defects, rib alignment, pattern consistency, and applicable safety requirements.

Pre-Production Approval
For project orders, confirm the approved sample, drawings, specifications, inspection criteria, and acceptance requirements before production begins.

Project-Specific Quality Checks
Dimensional Inspection
Verify panel width, height, diagonal measurements, and agreed dimensional tolerances against the approved drawings.

Visual and Pattern Inspection
Check for unacceptable scratches, chips, inclusions, and other defects against agreed acceptance criteria. Review rib orientation and visual consistency across the order.

Safety and Compliance Documentation
EN 12150-1 and ANSI Z97.1 may be relevant depending on the product, intended application, and destination market. Confirm the applicable standard, testing requirements, and available documentation for the specific product. SGCC certification should only be claimed where valid certification covers the relevant product and manufacturing scope.

Packaging Inspection
Confirm crate design, panel separation, edge and corner protection, moisture protection, and shipping labels according to panel dimensions and transport requirements.

Documentation Available Upon Confirmation
Applicable test reports, product specifications, inspection records, and certification documents can be identified during quotation and technical review, subject to actual availability and scope.

From Sample Approval to Shipment
Sample Evaluation
Evaluate a physical sample under representative project lighting to review rib definition, base glass appearance, color, and visual screening. Sample dimensions, cost, and availability should be confirmed before ordering.

Production Lead Time
Production scheduling depends on order quantity, glass specifications, fabrication complexity, sample approval, and documentation requirements. Confirm the lead time and its starting point in the order quotation.

Export Packaging and Identification
Agree on crate specifications, protective materials, panel identification, and crate manifests. Where solid wood packaging is used, confirm compliance with applicable destination and international transport requirements.

Repeat Orders
Retain the approved specification, pattern reference, drawings, and acceptance criteria to support repeat-order control. Color and visual appearance should be assessed against the agreed reference.
