Eeny, meany, miny, moe, let’s take the guesswork out of architectural flat glass. At Skyline, we offer a range of glass types to support your design vision—here are some tips on which glass to choose for your project.
From ultra-clear to matte to mysterious, here’s our lineup:
Low-iron Glass
Think of this as the diamond of glass. It’s crystal-clear with zero green tint, which makes it a designer’s dream for printed or painted glass applications. If you’re working on a high-end project where detail and color need to shine through perfectly, this is your MVP.
Non-Reflective Glass
Velour Glass
This glass type offers an ultra-matte finish with a soft, obscuring touch. Great for privacy without losing light. The texture leans more heavily matte compared to Silk — it’s got a foggier look and blocks visibility just a little more.
Silk Glass
Silk is Velour’s more refined sibling. It still has that matte finish, but it’s more subtle, allowing for a bit more light and visibility. It has a refined look—elegant, understated, and modern.
Mirrors
Low-iron Mirror
Low-iron Mirror has no greenish hue—just a sharper, truer reflection. It’s especially great when you’re pairing it with our Eco-etch technique to apply a design to the surface.

A mirror with a matte twist. This one’s got a subtle, silky texture that cuts glare while keeping that clean, crisp reflection. Also, beautiful when paired with an etched pattern on surface one.
Tinted Glass
Bronze Tinted Glass
Tinted glass brings the mood—and Bronze Tinted Glass brings the warmth. With its rich, earthy tone, it adds a cozy, inviting vibration to any space. Think of soft shadows, golden light, and a relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful with digitally printed or etched pattern elements.
Grey Tinted Glass
If Bronze is cozy, Grey is cool. Grey Tinted Glass is all about sophistication and that modern, architectural edge. It gives spaces a polished, contemporary feel—think demountable walls in upscale offices. It softens harsh light, adds a layer of privacy, and delivers a bold, designer-grade finish.
Textured Glass
Wave Glass
Wave Glass features soft, vertical “reeds” spaced ½ inch apart, creating a gently undulating surface. It plays beautifully with light and shadow, adding texture without being too bold. Ideal for partitions, demountable walls, or anywhere you want a little motion without chaos.
Groove Glass
Now take those reeds, tighten them up — Groove Glass has a finer texture with ⅛ inch spacing. It’s more structured and linear, offering a cleaner, more geometric look. Modern and architectural.
Pixel Glass
Pixel Glass adds a modern, geometric edge to any space. Perfect for creative environments or as a subtly textured accent wall. Check out the close-up of Pixel Glass!
