Throughout this series, GGI has highlighted a range of linear textured patterned glass designs to help architects and designers compare how subtle differences in texture, line spacing, and pattern movement can affect aesthetics, translucence, visible light transmission (VLT), and privacy.
Linear textured patterned glass can help define space, soften views, share light and create visual rhythm across interior and exterior applications. From subtle ribbed surfaces to more pronounced reeded and flowing textures, each pattern creates a different design effect.
Featured linear textured patterned glass options include:
• Thin Ribbed Clear and Thin Ribbed Low Iron
• Micro Ribbed Low Iron
• Stylos S Low Iron
• Reeded Clear and Reeded Low Iron
• Stream Low Iron
Low-iron textured glass options are available for projects where clarity and truer color rendering are important. By reducing the greenish cast commonly associated with standard clear glass, low-iron glass can help preserve the appearance of surrounding finishes, materials and color palettes.
Available in a variety of sheet sizes and thicknesses, GGI’s textured patterned glass options can support a wide range of architectural and interior design applications, including partitions, doors, sidelites, shower enclosures, cabinetry, furniture, feature walls and insulating glass units.
GGI makes it easier to specify textured patterned glass and access products through glass fabricators across the country.
See these textured patterned glass options on display at GlassBuild America in Las Vegas, September 23-25th, at booth 4135

Linear textured glass can do more than create privacy. It can guide the eye, soften light and introduce a sense of movement within architectural spaces.
As part of GGI’s textured patterned glass collection, Stream Low Iron offers a refined linear design with a subtle, flowing surface pattern. Its low-iron substrate provides a clearer, more neutral appearance than standard clear glass, making it well suited for interiors where color clarity and high visible light transmission (VLT) are important.
For architects and interior designers, Stream Low Iron offers a way to define space while maintaining a light, open feel. Its linear texture can complement modern, hospitality, workplace, retail and wellness environments where privacy, translucence, and visual rhythm need to work together.
𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝗿𝗼𝗻
Use Stream Low Iron textured glass for:
• Interior partitions
• Doors and sidelites
• Privacy screens
• Feature walls
• Shower enclosures
• Cabinetry and display applications
• Decorative glass panels
• Light-sharing spaces where privacy and openness both matter
Like each linear pattern in the GGI collection, Stream Low Iron has its own distinct balance of translucence, privacy and visual texture. This gives design teams flexibility to select the pattern that best supports the project’s aesthetic and performance goals.
𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱?
Yes. Stream Low Iron can be fabricated to support a wide range of decorative architectural glass applications.

How should architects and interior designers select decorative mirror glass? Clear, low-iron, tinted, satin-etched and antique mirror can each create a distinctly different architectural experience.
In GGI’s latest Insights article, Rocco Ficara, National Sales Manager for GGI’s Specialty Glass Division, explores how mirror selection can influence reflection, color, light, depth and atmosphere within an interior space.
Beyond the Reflection: How to Select Decorative Mirror Glass looks at key considerations when evaluating:
• Clear mirror for traditional reflective applications
• Low-iron mirror for greater color neutrality and clarity
• Tinted mirror to introduce bronze, gray and other tonal effects
• Satin-etched mirror for a softer, more diffused reflective surface
• Antique mirror for patina, character and visual depth
Rocco also addresses important specification considerations, including panel size, seams, fabrication, safety requirements and installation.
The takeaway: Selecting architectural mirror should begin with the design experience you want to create—then move to the glass type, finish and fabrication approach that best supports that intent.
Going to GlassBuild America? See these options in person. Visit GGI at Booth 4135, September 23–25 in Las Vegas, to explore GGI’s complete range of decorative mirror glass and specialty architectural glass solutions.
