← All eight textured acrylics

Overview
01

The reeded glass look,
in a sheet you can cut.

Fluted acrylic, also called reeded acrylic or fluted plexiglass, is clear cell cast acrylic with rounded flutes formed into the surface, 12 mm (0.47″) peak to peak. It gives cabinet doors, room dividers and back bar panels the look of reeded glass at about half the weight, and we cut it to your size in Sparks the same day.

Easy to hang in a cabinet door or a frame, and far harder to break than reeded glass.

Say which way it runs

The flutes run one way, so the order needs a direction: along the length or across the width. We cut it the way you say, every piece.

Where It Gets Used

Cabinet Door Inserts
The most common job. At 5/32″ it sits between the 1/8″ and 3/16″ glass most cabinet doors are cut for.
Room Dividers
Office and restaurant partitions that keep the light and blur the view.
Back Bar & Bar Fronts
Backlit or plain, fluted panels behind and under a bar.
Furniture & Display
Sideboard doors, shelf fronts and display panels.

Going in a shower, a door or next to a tub? Glass in those spots falls under the safety glazing rules in the building code, and plastic glazing has its own rules there. If an inspector is involved, ask before you cut.

Common Questions

Fluted, reeded or ribbed: what is the difference?

Fluted and reeded are two names for the same look: rounded ridges about half an inch apart. Ribbed is much finer, with ribs .070 of an inch apart, and is more about light than privacy.

Which way should the flutes run?

Up and down on most cabinet doors and dividers, which on a tall panel means along the length. Tell us length or width on the order and we cut it that way.

Can you cut it to fit my cabinet doors?

Yes. Send the opening sizes, or the old glass, and we cut each piece to within 1/16 of an inch. One door or a whole kitchen.

How do I clean it?

Mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Skip ammonia glass cleaner, solvents and paper towels; they cloud and scratch acrylic.
