Fluted Glass Shower Screens (What They Are)
Fluted glass shower screens, also known as narrow reeded glass, are a modern way to add texture, privacy, and style to your bathroom without sacrificing light.
Unlike standard clear glass, fluted (reeded) glass features subtle vertical grooves that gently distort visibility while still allowing natural light to pass through. The result is a clean, architectural look that works just as well in modern bathrooms as it does in more classic spaces.
As part of our frameless shower screens range, fluted glass offers a balance between openness and privacy, making it a popular choice for both main bathrooms and ensuites.
The terms fluted glass and reeded glass are often used interchangeably, with “fluted glass shower screens” being the more commonly used term.
It’s ideal for bathrooms where you want a bit more privacy without fully enclosing the space.

Frequently asked questions about Fluted glass shower screens
Here are some of the most common questions people ask about narrow-reeded glass shower screens.
Is fluted glass hard to clean?
No – fluted glass shower screens are generally easy to maintain. The textured surface is on the outside, while the inside (facing the shower) remains flat, making it easy to clean.
The texture also helps hide water spots and soap residue, so it tends to look cleaner for longer. With NanoDiamond coating applied, maintenance becomes even easier.
Are fluted shower screens more expensive?
Yes – fluted (narrow-reeded) shower screens sit at the premium end of the market.
Glass price hierarchy typically looks like this:
- Standard clear glass (most affordable)
- Low-iron / Starphire glass (mid-range upgrade)
- Fluted (reeded) glass (premium option)
Expect to pay roughly 50–60% more for a fluted shower screen compared to standard clear glass, depending on the project and hardware selections.
