Decorative interior partitions, cabinet door inserts, shower enclosures, and privacy glazing in commercial buildings are the main applications. The rolled process allows manufacturers to emboss a wide range of surface patterns that diffuse light while maintaining translucency, which is the key functional attribute buyers specify.

Mill certificates or manufacturer declarations stating the production process (casting or rolling rather than float) and describing the surface character are the most useful supporting documents. Physical inspection of the glass edge and surface texture can also confirm the rolled process, as float glass has a characteristically smooth, fire-polished surface that rolled glass lacks.
