Acrylic Reeded Glass achieves the best balance between light transmittance and privacy protection through texture design, which is an important topic in material development and design applications. The following is a detailed analysis of its implementation methods from the aspects of texture characteristics, optical effects, privacy protection and technical optimization:

The impact of texture design on light transmittance
Adjustment of vertical stripe spacing and depth:

Wide spacing and shallow texture:
Wide spacing and shallow texture allow more light to pass through, improve overall light transmittance, and are suitable for environments that require higher brightness.

Narrow spacing and deep texture:
Narrow spacing and deep texture can scatter light more effectively, enhance privacy effects, and reduce direct light penetration.

Choice of texture direction:

Vertical texture helps to protect privacy in the vertical direction, suitable for partitions or door panels.

Horizontal or cross texture design can provide uniform light scattering effect, suitable for scenes that require uniform light.

Texture shape:

Traditional straight vertical stripes: light is refracted and scattered regularly, with strong privacy effects but low light transmittance.
Arc, corrugated or geometric texture: Improve the light diffusion effect through complex refraction paths while maintaining a certain light transmittance.

Combination of privacy protection and optical properties
Light diffuse reflection and refraction effect:

The vertical grain surface scatters direct light through refraction and diffuse reflection, thereby blurring the line of sight. This feature allows the space to maintain brightness while providing privacy protection.
The more complex the texture, the more refraction paths the light has, and the stronger the privacy protection effect, but the light transmission rate may be reduced.
Privacy protection angle design:

By calculating the angle of light refraction and scattering, the optimal direction and spacing of the texture are designed, so that users cannot clearly observe objects outside a certain distance or angle, but the internal light can still penetrate well.

Quantification of visual occlusion intensity:

Use shading or blur as a quantitative indicator of privacy protection, and select appropriate texture parameters according to application requirements.

Material and process optimization
Surface treatment technology:

Through double-sided texture design, one side is treated as vertical grain and the other side remains smooth, which improves optical performance while increasing privacy.
Matt surface treatment can further reduce light reflection and improve the uniformity of light scattering.
Mixing of transparent and translucent materials:

Using transparent acrylic substrate, by adding some translucent or milky white materials, the dual effects of light diffusion and shielding are achieved.

Precision manufacturing process:

Using high-precision molds or laser engraving technology to ensure the consistency of texture and precise control of optical effects.

The best balance in application scenarios
Family space:

In bathroom and kitchen partitions, the narrow-spacing vertical stripe design provides higher privacy protection while allowing natural light to enter and avoid the space being too dark.

When used for windows or glass door panels, the spacing is appropriately widened to increase the light transmission rate and balance privacy and a sense of open vision.

Commercial space:

Office partitions or conference room door panels can choose a deep-textured vertical stripe design to provide high privacy protection while creating a soft indoor light environment.

In commercial display cabinets, shallow-textured vertical stripe glass is used to enhance the optical effect of the product while creating a slight background blur.

Public places:

In medical institutions or hotel scenes, the vertical stripe design can reduce direct transparency, enhance privacy, and ensure sufficient light in public areas.

Future development direction of technology
Intelligent texture adjustment:
Combined with intelligent dimming film technology, users can dynamically adjust the light transmittance and privacy level of vertical striped glass according to their needs.
Multi-layer composite structure:
Micro-texture layers at different angles are embedded inside the acrylic substrate to achieve multi-directional privacy protection and uniform light diffusion.
Sustainable design:
Develop environmentally friendly acrylic materials and manufacture vertical striped glass through recycled materials to achieve efficient light utilization and low-carbon environmental protection.

Acrylic Reeded Glass can achieve the best balance between light transmittance and privacy protection by adjusting the texture spacing, depth, direction, and adopting high-precision technology and innovative material design. This technology not only improves aesthetics and practicality, but also meets the diverse needs of different scenarios.
