Diamond Patterned Glass | Decorative Obscured Architectural Glass from KINGSTAR BUILDING GLASS
KINGSTAR BUILDING GLASS Diamond Patterned Glass is a premium decorative architectural glass featuring a repeating geometric diamond-shaped texture embossed on one surface during the rolling process. Produced by passing molten glass between two metal rollers—one engraved with the diamond pattern—this glass features a distinctive three-dimensional embossed texture on one surface while remaining smooth on the reverse. The result is a translucent glass that transmits natural daylight while providing
Diamond patterned glass—also known as figured glass, rolled glass, or embossed glass—is a decorative flat glass produced through the rolling process. During manufacturing, molten glass is passed between two water-cooled metal rollers. One roller is engraved with the diamond pattern, which imprints the design onto the surface of the semi-molten glass. The result is a glass sheet with a distinctive three-dimensional embossed texture on one side and a smooth surface on the reverse.
The diamond pattern features a repeating geometric diamond-shaped texture that creates a soft, diffused light effect. The textured surface provides privacy while maintaining high light transmission. In optical terms, diamond patterned glass is translucent rather than transparent—it allows light to pass through while preventing clear visibility through the glass. The geometric design produces dynamic shadow patterns that change with lighting conditions.
Unlike surface coatings or films, the diamond pattern is physically embossed into the glass surface—making it permanent and resistant to wear, fading, or peeling.
Diamond patterned glass is manufactured using the rolled glass process:
| Thickness | Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) | Visual Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 3mm | ~85-90% | High light transmission with moderate privacy |
| 4mm | ~85-90% | Balanced light and privacy |
| 5mm | ~85-90% | Balanced light and privacy |
| 6mm | ~85-90% | Good privacy with excellent light |
| 8mm | ~80-85% | Enhanced privacy with good light |
VLT values are typical for clear diamond patterned glass. Colored glass (bronze, blue, green, grey) will have lower VLT depending on the tint density. Emerald green tinted diamond glass typically maintains 65% light transmission with 50% diffusion.

Q1: What is the difference between diamond patterned glass and other patterned glass patterns?
A: Diamond patterned glass features a repeating geometric diamond-shaped texture that creates a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Other popular patterns include Nashiji (pear-skin texture), Mistlite (fine mist-like texture), Karatachi (intersecting lines), Moru (vertical fluted stripes), Flora (floral motif), and May Flower. Diamond glass is particularly valued for its geometric precision, dynamic shadow effects that change with lighting, and its versatility in complementing both modern and traditional design styles.
Q2: What is the light transmittance of diamond patterned glass and can it be tempered?
A: Clear diamond patterned glass typically delivers visible light transmittance (VLT) of approximately 85-90%. Colored variants (bronze, blue, green, grey) will have lower VLT depending on the tint density—for example, emerald green diamond glass maintains 65% light transmission. Yes, KINGSTAR BUILDING GLASS diamond patterned glass is fully compatible with tempering (EN 12150), laminating (EN ISO 12543), and insulating glass unit fabrication. The pattern is permanently embossed into the glass surface and will not be affected by the tempering process.
Q3: What thicknesses, sizes, and colors are available for diamond patterned glass?
A: KINGSTAR BUILDING GLASS diamond patterned glass is available in thicknesses from 3mm to 12mm. Standard sizes include 1500×2000mm, 1830×2134mm, 1830×2440mm, 2000×1500mm, and 2134×1524mm. Colors are available in clear, bronze, blue, green, grey, and amber. Custom sizes can be produced to meet specific project requirements.

The designs give scope for combining functional suitability with decorative effect, whilst emphasising the natural light-enhancing properties of glass. The glasses can be supplied in toughened or laminated form for safety and incorporated into Insulating Glass Units for thermal insulation or noise control.
Product thickness: 2.2-12mm (Note: not all patterns are suitable for all thicknesses)
Regular size: 1500 × 2000、 1830 × 2134、 1830 × 2440
Maximum size: 2134×4500
Patterned glass is very applicable to all kinds of public and private places, such as office, conference room, hotel, hospital, sports ground, gymnasium, bathroom, washroom, etc., which need to be used for lighting and privacy. It’s also widely used as louver glass, glass table, glass shelf and lampshade.
