Glass
Fluted glass offers a range of different aesthetics, with the vertical shallow grooves adding texture and a decorative feature to any space. Available in various textures, light can play across the surface to create different effects throughout the day, diffusing natural sunlight.
Fluting also adds an element of privacy, being great for shower screens and doorways.
