The Look You Want, the Flexibility You Need
Reeded glass film isn’t just a design trend — it’s a modern solution for interiors that demand both visual impact and functional adaptability. Whether you’re upgrading a single conference room or reimagining an entire building, Chroma Reeded Films deliver refined texture, efficient performance, and long-term value — without the complexity or cost of custom glass.

With decades of expertise in architectural films, APG Design Studio has become a trusted partner for designers, architects, and property teams across the U.S. Our Chroma Collection offers one of the largest selections of reeded films available today — engineered for high-end interiors and dynamic commercial environments.

1. Premium Aesthetic at a Lower Cost
Custom fluted glass panels often require:
Specialty fabrication
Framing or structural support
Complex transport and handling
Multi-trade professional installation
In contrast, Chroma Reeded Films replicate the dimensional look of fluted glass at approximately 20–40% of the total cost, depending on scope and finish. For large-scale or budget-conscious projects, this means substantial savings without compromising design integrity.
💡 Search tip: Try “reeded glass alternatives” or “budget fluted glass solutions.”
2. Flexible, Removable, and Adaptable
Unlike permanent glass installations, reeded film can be installed, removed, or replaced without demolition or damage. This makes it ideal for:
Temporary office builds or phased renovations
Tenant improvements (TIs) in commercial spaces
Design refreshes for property staging or leasing
🛠️ Applies directly to existing glass walls, doors, or dividers — no framing, no construction, no downtime.
3. Fast, Non-Invasive Installation
Film installation requires:
No drilling
No structural modification
No extended closures
Most projects can be completed in a single day, even in active office environments or occupied buildings — making Chroma Reeded Film a smart choice for off-hours or weekend upgrades.
🕒 Typical installation time: 1–4 hours per area, depending on scale and accessibility.
4. Sustainable and Less Disruptive
Because reeded film applies directly to existing glass, there’s no need for demolition or glass replacement, which reduces waste, energy use, and landfill impact. It’s an eco-conscious solution that supports LEED and sustainability goals, helping projects meet green building criteria while minimizing disruption to operations.
By contrast, replacing glass panels requires:
Manufacturing new glass
Removing and disposing of old panels
Increased transportation and on-site labor
Greater material waste and carbon footprint
Reeded film eliminates all of that — offering a clean, efficient path to a refreshed, contemporary aesthetic.
5. Color Customization Without Light Loss
While fluted glass is generally limited to clear or frosted finishes, Chroma Reeded Films are available in a range of refined tones, including:
Clear, White, Black, Bronze, Blue, and Custom Color Match.
These hues allow for brand-aligned design and subtle mood customization — all while maintaining natural daylight and visibility. Perfect for spaces where brightness and openness are key.

6. Maintenance, Safety, and Durability
Reeded film offers the look of textured glass with simplified maintenance and added safety benefits.
Easy to clean with standard non-abrasive cleaners
Scratch-resistant, durable surface coatings
Safer in high-traffic environments (no heavy glass replacement risk)
Can be replaced quickly if damaged — no glass removal required
For facility teams and property managers, this means reduced maintenance costs and less operational downtime over the life of the installation.
7. The Largest Selection of Reeded Films in the U.S.
The Chroma Reeded Film Collection by APG includes:
15+ distinct reeded and fluted patterns
Multiple flute widths and depths
Gloss, matte, and gradient finishes
Clear, tinted, and layered options
APG also supports custom pattern development for brand-specific or one-of-a-kind design projects.
