Silk-screened decorative glass is fabricated by transferring images or geometric designs to a glass surface. By using the same basic technology as in spandrel glass, the ceramic frit is applied to the glass through a fine mesh screen containing a standard or custom design. More durable than acid-etched or sandblasted surfaces, silk-screened glass is less susceptible to staining, easier to clean and always heat-treated to withstand thermal and/or mechanical stress.
Whether designing for interior or exterior applications, privacy or openness, silk-screened glass is attractive, easy to clean and more resistant to graffiti than most building materials. Laminated silk-screened glass can also be used in skylight and canopy applications since it has a significant influence on natural light entering the area. By incorporating silk-screened glass into an insulating glass unit, its aesthetic and performance characteristics are enhanced.
Description:
Available in one-piece orders or high-volume runs, silk-screened decorative glass is custom- made by transferring a silk-screen image to the glass and then processing it through a horizontal tempering furnace. Each individual lite is screen-printed with the desired pattern and ceramic enamel frit color. The ceramic frit can be silk-screened onto the glass substrate in one of three standard patterns dots, lines, holes-or in a full-coverage application. In addition, custom patterns can be easily duplicated on the glass.
Depending on the pattern and the color, the glass lite can be made transparent, translucent or opaque. With a wide range of glass substrate and
Frit color options, the silk-screen process gives designers exceptional creative flexibility.
1. Various color and graphics choices Silkscreen glass offers variety in color and graphics which could also be custom-made to meet designing needs as well as create particularity of space design.
2. Anti-glare, The partial printing of silkscreen glass reduces glare.
3. Subduing westerly or direct sunlight The sequential partial printing of silkscreen glass subdues westerly of direct sunlight.
4. Safety, Silkscreen glass is tempered to improve safety
5. Durable, scratch-proof, moisture-resistant
Silkscreen glass is more durable, scratch-proof, moisture-resistant than ordinary color printed glass.
Applications:
1. Architectural facade glass
2. Window glass for shop, family and school
3. Graplic glass for interior partition
4. Auto glass, electric glass
5. Furniture and art glass
Notice:
1. Silkscreen glass can not be recut, customers must confirm size and shape when ordering.
2. It takes more time to produce silkscreen glass when special color or silkscreen must be reprepared.
3. When silkscreen glass is used for facade or window, the printed side faces inward.
4. The printing method is one-side printing.
(Only under certain conditions glass can be processed into silkscreen glass. For more information, please contact our company. )
