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.
