Patterned or figure rolled glass is used to diffuse, not totally obscure an object when viewing, but can also be used in a decorative application. The product is made through the process of running molten state glass across a patterned roller, reproducing the roller pattern. Available in a range of thicknesses most commonly from 4mm to 6mm (see thickness chart below), patterned glass can be toughened . Not available in laminated form.
Though not a stocked item, Wired Glass is produced in a similar manner to patterned glass except that a sheet of welded wire is introduced into the molten glass before introduction to the patterned rollers. The rough wires in the glass after cutting, means edge work is restricted to a rough arris finish. Wired glass is also more susceptible to thermal breakage being a result of the higher heat absorbency associated with the wire along with the difficulty of achieving ‘good’ defect free edges. And hot-melt glass is available to customized the pattern with thickness range from 6-10mm.
Laminated Art Glass
The sandwiched silk glass, also called the laminated art glass, is made by interlayer of a custom pattern such as a drawing or silk in the middle of two pieces of glass. The sandwiched silk glass is generally applied to the decorative scene, and the decorative effect of the laminated glass after the production of different silk materials is different (different light transmittance, color difference, decorative effect, etc.).
Features: Clamped silk glass has the characteristics of art decoration, explosion-proof, safety and beauty.
Application:Mainly used in screens, partitions, wall panels and other places with decorative effects.
Printed Glass
Features:
Ceramic fritted glass is produced by silk-screening an inorganic frit onto
the glass surface, then drying and being heat treated. The frit will be
permanently fused to the glass surface.
Maximum size: 2500mm × 6000mm
Thickness: 3-19mm
Decorative: rich colors and patterns; the glass can be custom-made to
achieve the desired decorative effect
Energy-saving: with certain absorption and reflection to sunlight,
providing shading effect
