Sometimes called Fluted glass, this reeded film is a textured stripe finish molded into the glass surface. Multiple flutes are side-by-side with a common 1/2-inch or 1/4-inch spacing. The pattern bends light as it passes through the glass and this obscures your vision. Reeded Glass Film replicates the effect of the traditional molded glass and can be applied to any flat glass surface or window.

If you want to give your glass the retro look this is the film for you. The stripes or reeds run vertically up the film roll and can be ordered in various cut lengths to suit your requirements.
