Decorative Glass
Surface coatings can be applied to glass to modify its appearance and give it many of the advanced characteristics and functions available in today's flat glass products, such as low maintenance, special reflection/transmission/absorption properties, scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.
Coatings are usually applied by controlled exposure of the glass surface to vapours, which bind to the glass forming a permanent coating. The coating process can be applied while the glass is still in the float line with the glass still warm, producing what is known as "hard-coated" glass.
Alternatively, in the "off-line" or "vacuum" coating process, the vapour is applied to the cold glass surface in a vacuum vessel.
Coated glasses can be toughened, laminated or incorporated into an insulating glass unit.
Security Glass
Glass that is designed to resist physical attack, ballistic and bomb blasts. These products are specialist laminates that use multiple layers of glass and rigid interlayers depending on the resistance required.
Screen Printed Glass
Uses ceramic paint that is screen printed and permanently fused to the toughened glass surface.
Mirrored Glass
To produce mirrored glass, a metal coating is applied to one side of the glass. The coating is generally made of silver, aluminium, gold or chrome. For simple mirrored glass, a fully reflective metal coating is applied and then sealed with a protective layer. It can also include a vinyl backing for safety.
To produce "one-way" mirrors, a much thinner metal coating is used, with no additional sealing or otherwise opaque layer.
Mirrored glass is gaining a more prominent place in architecture, for important functional reasons as well as for the aesthetic effect.
