Mistlite Patterned Glass | Decorative Obscured Architectural Glass from KINGSTAR BUILDING GLASS
KINGSTAR BUILDING GLASS Mistlite Patterned Glass is a premium decorative architectural glass featuring a fine, diffused mist-like texture—also known as satinlite or pinprick pattern—embossed on one surface during the rolling process. As one of Pilkington's three distinctive Texture Glass patterns, alongside Nashiji™ and Karatachi™, Mistlite offers a subtle, uniform dot-like or frosted texture that provides excellent light diffusion while maintaining high transparency. The glass transmits natural
What is Mistlite Patterned Glass?
Mistlite patterned glass—also known as figured glass, rolled glass, satinlite glass, or texture 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 Mistlite pattern, which imprints the design onto the surface of the semi-molten glass. The result is a glass sheet with a distinctive fine, mist-like texture on one side and a smooth surface on the reverse.
The name 'Mistlite' reflects the glass's unique visual character—a soft, misty, diffused appearance that resembles a light fog or satin finish. This subtle, uniform dot-like or frosted texture provides excellent light diffusion while maintaining high transparency. Unlike surface coatings or films, the Mistlite pattern is physically embossed into the glass surface—making it permanent and resistant to wear, fading, or peeling.
Production Process
Mistlite patterned glass is manufactured using the rolled glass process:
- Melting: High-quality raw materials (silica sand, soda ash, limestone, etc.) are melted at approximately 1,500°C in a furnace.
- Rolling: The molten glass flows between two water-cooled metal rollers. One roller is engraved with the Mistlite pattern, which imprints the design onto the glass surface.
- Annealing: The patterned glass ribbon passes through an annealing lehr where it is gradually cooled to relieve internal stresses.
- Cutting: The cooled glass is cut to standard or custom sizes.
Key Features
- Fine Mist-Like Texture: Subtle, uniform dot-like or frosted texture that creates a soft, diffused appearance
- Superior Light Management: Scatters incident light, reducing specular reflection and increasing internal reflections for better light capture
- High Light Transmission: Visible light transmittance up to 91.6% maintains excellent natural daylighting
- Effective Privacy Protection: Obscures clear visibility while allowing soft, diffused light to pass through
- Reduced Glare: Minimizes reflective glare for better visual comfort
- Anti-Soiling Benefit: Textured surface helps reduce dust and dirt adhesion, supporting easier natural cleaning
- Permanent Pattern: Embossed into the glass surface—will not fade, wear, or peel over time
- Versatile Colors: Available in clear, ultra-clear low-iron, bronze, blue, green, and gray
- Processing Compatible: Can be cut, drilled, edge polished, tempered, laminated, and coated
- High Durability: When tempered, offers excellent resistance to hail, wind loads, thermal shock, and UV degradation
Optical Performance
Performance values based on clear Mistlite patterned glass. Values may vary slightly by thickness and production batch. Colored glass (bronze, blue, green, gray) will have lower VLT depending on the tint density.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between Mistlite patterned glass and other patterned glass patterns?
A: Mistlite patterned glass features a fine, diffused mist-like texture (also known as satinlite or pinprick pattern) that creates a soft, uniform frosted appearance. It is one of three distinctive Texture Glass patterns offered by Pilkington, alongside Nashiji™ and Karatachi™. Other popular patterns include Flora, Diamond, May Flower, and Millennium. Mistlite is particularly valued for its superior light diffusion and reduced glare, making it ideal for applications where soft, diffused light is desired.
Q2: What is the visible light transmittance of Mistlite patterned glass and can it be tempered?
A: Clear Mistlite patterned glass delivers visible light transmittance (VLT) of up to 91.6%, with solar transmittance reaching 92%. Colored variants (bronze, blue, green, gray) will have lower VLT depending on the tint density. Yes, KINGSTAR BUILDING GLASS Mistlite patterned glass is fully compatible with tempering (EN 12150), laminating (EN ISO 12543), and insulating glass unit fabrication. When tempered, it offers excellent resistance to hail, wind loads, thermal shock, and UV degradation over 25+ years. 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 Mistlite patterned glass?
A: KINGSTAR BUILDING GLASS Mistlite patterned glass is available in thicknesses from 2mm to 19mm, with 3.2mm, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm being the most common. Standard sizes include 1220×1830mm, 1500×2000mm, 1524×2134mm, 1830×2134mm, 1830×2440mm, 2000×2440mm, and 2140×3300mm. Colors are available in clear, ultra-clear low-iron, bronze, blue, green, and gray. Custom sizes can be produced to meet specific project requirements.
