Figured glass is a decorative and translucent glass with figures on one face. In addition to diffusing light and obstructing visibility from the outside, the figured soften the interior lighting.
Patterned glass is made in a similar way to float glass except that the glass ribbon passes between two rollers, and the pattern is pressed onto one surface of the glass to give the design impression. Different patterns are made by changing one of the rollers. Figured glass can be tempered and cut in the same manner as standard float glass. Most figured can also be laminated and double glazed.
