Enameled Glass
Enameled Glass is a reinforced composite material in Subnautica 2, crafted from Glass and Lead at a Fabricator. Its lead-laced enamel dramatically increases pressure resistance while remaining transparent, making it ideal for reinforced suits and deep-sea viewing equipment.
Quick Info
Description
Enameled Glass fuses a standard Glass panel with a thin Lead enamel layer, producing a transparent material that shrugs off crushing pressures where plain Glass would shatter. It is the go-to choice for reinforced suit visors, observation domes, and any deep-sea viewing equipment that has to survive the deepest biomes without losing visibility.
How to Craft
Enameled Glass is crafted at the Fabricator from Glass and Lead. Glass itself costs 2x Quartz, so each Enameled Glass panel effectively costs 2x Quartz and 1x Lead.
Glass
1x — crafted from 2x Quartz at the Fabricator.
Lead
1x — mined from limestone outcrops at 100–300m.
Fabricator
Crafting station found in lifepods and bases.
Uses & Recipes
Enameled Glass unlocks the reinforced visual tier of Subnautica 2 crafting. Use it anywhere you need to see clearly while withstanding depth pressure.
Reinforced Dive Suit
Pressure-rated suit with an Enameled Glass visor for deep dives.
Deep-Sea Viewer
Handheld optical tool for observing deep biome creatures.
Reinforced Observatory
Pressure-rated dome for permanent deep-base viewing.

Tips & Strategies
Mine Quartz in Bulk
Each Enameled Glass panel indirectly costs 2x Quartz. Mine a stack of Quartz first so you don't have to interrupt your Glass production to go searching for more shards.
Build the Reinforced Suit First
The Reinforced Dive Suit is the single most useful recipe that requires Enameled Glass. Craft it before spending panels on cosmetic observation domes.
Pin Lead and Quartz Together
Lead and Quartz both drop from limestone outcrops. Pin a route with dense limestone so a single trip yields the raw materials for multiple batches of Enameled Glass.
Save Panels for Observation
Observation domes built with Enameled Glass give unmatched views of deep biomes. Reserve 4–6 panels if you're building a permanent deep-sea base.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Enameled Glass made from?
Enameled Glass is crafted from 1x Glass and 1x Lead at a Fabricator. Glass itself is made from 2x Quartz, so the full cost of one panel is 2x Quartz and 1x Lead.
What is Enameled Glass used for?
Enameled Glass is used for reinforced suit visors, deep-sea viewing equipment, observation domes, and any transparent module that has to survive high-pressure biomes.
Is Enameled Glass stronger than Glass?
Yes. The lead-laced enamel layer dramatically increases pressure resistance while keeping the panel transparent, so it can replace regular Glass in any deep-sea application.
