A feature wall, a common element in ancient Chinese garden architecture, comes in various forms, serving different functions. Constructing a feature wall with Channel Glass not only enhances aesthetics but also proves to be cost-effective. Let's explore several types of feature walls built with Channel Glass.

Flat Sandblasted Single-layer Installation

Sandblasted (Opal) Channel Glass offers light transmission without sacrificing privacy. Constructing a feature wall ensures both privacy and a soft diffused lighting effect, resembling a white scroll that complements the scenery, creating an artistic view.

A feature wall constructed with double-layer sandblasted U-shaped Channel Glass can serve as an entrance to a destination or as sidewalls for pathways within a garden. It not only looks appealing but also adds a sense of ceremony, especially when sunlight during the day or evening lights cast shadows of vegetation on the Channel Glass, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
