SIG® Back-Painted Glass

Code: 131

SIG's Back-Painted Glass, also sometimes referred to as Lacquered Glass, is a decorative glass element created by applying an opaque color layer to the back surface of a clear glass substrate. The paint used is specially formulated for glass applications to ensure durability and adhesion. This method of positioning the color layer on the back offers several advantages. It protects the colored finish from scratches and abrasions that might occur on the front surface during cleaning or everyday use. Additionally, SIG's back-painted glass allows for a vast array of color options, transforming a standard glass sheet into a versatile design element for interior design applications.

SIG's Back-Painted Glass: A Splash of Color and Vibrancy for Design Applications

Production: A Marriage of Glass and Color

  • Glass Selection: The foundation can be clear float glass, tinted glass, or even textured glass, depending on the desired final appearance and light diffusion characteristics.
  • Paint Selection: The choice of paint is crucial. Opaque enamels or specially formulated lacquers are typically used to ensure optimal adhesion to the glass surface and complete opacity. These paints often come in a wide variety of colors, allowing for extensive design flexibility.
  • Surface Preparation: Both the glass surface and the paint require thorough cleaning to remove any contaminants that could affect adhesion or the final finish. The glass may be pre-treated with a primer to further enhance the bonding between the paint and the glass.
  • Painting Process: The back surface of the prepared glass is then painted using a controlled application method, such as spraying or roller coating. Multiple coats may be applied to achieve a uniform and opaque finish.
  • Curing: After painting, the glass panels typically undergo a curing process at controlled temperatures to ensure proper drying and hardening of the paint layer. In some cases, ultraviolet light curing may also be employed.

Quality Control: The finished back-painted glass panels undergo rigorous quality control inspections to ensure a flawless painted surface, consistent color, and optimal adhesion between the paint and the glass.
