Archetype’s textured glass and mirror elevate a space from plain to polished. From linear patterns to hand-blown and rolled surfaces, our textures transform ordinary architectural elements into visual and tactile experiences.
Hand-crafted one-of-a-kind artisanal architectural glass produced with industrial efficiency. Our extensive library of surface textures ranges from subtle, sophisticated patterns to bold, dramatic statements that command attention and define spaces.
Our comprehensive collection of surface textures spans traditional hand-blown techniques to contemporary rolled patterns, offering designers unlimited creative possibilities for every application.
Linear Patterns • Ripple Effects • Hammered Finish • Wavy Texture • Reeded Glass • Frosted Patterns • Geometric Designs • Organic Forms
Traditional hand-blown glass techniques create unique surface textures that cannot be replicated by machine processes. Each sheet exhibits subtle variations and organic qualities that bring warmth and character to architectural installations. The natural striations and surface irregularities inherent in hand-blown glass create dynamic light play throughout the day.
Our rolled glass processes utilize specially designed cylinders and plates to impress precise patterns into the molten glass surface. This technique allows for consistent reproduction of specific textures while maintaining the artistic qualities that make each installation unique. From fine linear patterns to bold geometric impressions, rolled textures offer controlled artistic expression.
Working with your design vision, we can develop completely custom texture patterns that align with your project’s aesthetic requirements. Whether inspired by natural forms, architectural motifs, or abstract concepts, our manufacturing capabilities can bring any texture concept to reality.
All textured glass is manufactured to meet or exceed ANSI Z97.1 Category II safety glazing requirements, ensuring that artistic beauty never compromises safety performance in architectural applications.
Surface textures provide natural light diffusion and privacy control while maintaining visual connection between spaces. Texture depth and pattern density directly influence opacity and light transmission characteristics.
Textured surfaces contribute to sound dampening within spaces, helping to reduce noise transmission while adding visual interest to partition walls and privacy screens.
Laminated construction protects textured surfaces from wear and damage while maintaining easy cleaning protocols. Textures remain vibrant and intact throughout decades of use.
Custom textured panels can be manufactured in virtually any size configuration, from small accent elements to floor-to-ceiling installations spanning entire wall surfaces.
Textured surfaces can be combined with our Interpainted™ color technology, creating colored textured glass that offers both surface interest and precise color matching capabilities.
Textured glass elements serve both functional and aesthetic purposes across diverse architectural environments, creating spaces that engage multiple senses.
Create sophisticated separation between spaces while maintaining light transmission and visual connectivity through carefully selected texture patterns.
Transform bland wall surfaces into dynamic focal points that change appearance throughout the day as lighting conditions evolve.
Add visual interest to cabinetry while concealing contents, perfect for both residential and commercial storage solutions.
Provide privacy in bathroom applications while allowing natural light penetration and creating spa-like ambiance through texture play.
Enhance door designs with textured glass inserts that provide visual interest while maintaining privacy and light transmission.
Create stunning kitchen and bathroom backsplashes that reflect light and add dimensional interest to functional surfaces.
Define spaces without creating complete barriers, allowing flexibility in open-plan environments while adding architectural interest.
Combine reflective surfaces with texture to create mirrors that serve as artistic statements while providing functional reflection.
With nearly limitless options for textures and patterns, our custom laminated textured glass delivers solutions that range from whisper-subtle to dramatically bold. Each texture interacts uniquely with light, creating ever-changing visual experiences that evolve throughout the day.
Fine textures provide gentle light diffusion and privacy without overwhelming a space’s aesthetic. Perfect for environments requiring understated elegance and refined visual interest.
Dramatic textures create commanding focal points that define spaces and capture attention. Ideal for feature installations where glass becomes the primary design element.
Structured, linear textures complement contemporary architectural styles while providing controlled privacy and light transmission. Perfect for modern commercial and residential applications.
Random, organic textures bring natural qualities to interior environments, softening hard architectural lines and creating more humanized spaces.
– our surface textures don’t just look beautiful, they invite interaction and create sensory experiences that transform how people relate to architectural spaces.
