Degrees of light transmission and diffusion, privacy, abstraction — these characteristics are what make translucent products so popular with designers on just about every project type. Often, full daylight or clear glass can result in too much glare or exposure and result in discomfort for the occupants. But just as often, a solid wall or surface isn’t the answer. This week we’re looking at a variety of translucent products in our Global Library. As you can see, their versatility is nearly limitless, from facade systems and interior partitions to decorative surfaces and adhesive films.

See something interesting? Save one or more of these products to your project on Arazoo, or save it to your library to use in a future project.
