5mm Narrow Reeded Glass

The 5mm narrow reeded glass is a premium textured glass solution that brings both privacy and design sophistication to any space. Designed with narrow vertical lines that subtly distort light, this glass type adds a modern, refined look while maintaining functionality and versatility.

This glass is ideal for doors, partitions, windows, and decorative panels, offering the perfect blend of privacy and natural illumination. The reeded texture allows light to pass through while obscuring visibility, creating bright yet private environments — a highly desirable feature in both residential and commercial settings.

Durability and Composition

Made from high-quality float glass, the 5mm OBS Narrow Reeded variant undergoes precision manufacturing to achieve a consistent pattern and thickness. The 5mm gauge ensures durability, impact resistance, and easy handling during installation. It can be cut, edged, and fitted to size according to project requirements, making it a practical choice for builders, architects, and interior designers across Kenya.

This product conforms to international glass quality standards and is suitable for both framed and frameless applications, including wood, aluminum, and steel frames.

Aesthetic and Functional Value

The narrow vertical lines of the reeded pattern create a sense of height and elegance, adding visual depth to interiors. Its decorative yet subtle appearance enhances modern architecture while complementing traditional Kenyan building styles. The OBS finish (Obscure) provides privacy without compromising on brightness, making it ideal for spaces such as:

• Office partitions

• Bathroom windows

• Glass doors and sidelights

• Cabinet and wardrobe panels

• Interior feature walls

Applications and Versatility

The 5mm OBS Narrow Reeded Glass is highly versatile in construction and design applications. Whether used in residential properties, hotels, retail outlets, or office buildings, it adds a unique visual appeal and tactile quality to any project.

It can be installed using clear silicone sealants, glazing putty, or framing beading, depending on project requirements. For enhanced safety or insulation, it can be laminated or toughened upon request.
