Glass Technology UK Limited Decorative Glazing

Although this category is titled 'Decorative Glazing' it should also be noted that certain products can be also be used for Safety reasons and not purely aesthetic.

Our term 'Decorative Glazing' is generic name given to a family of products that consists of three main groups,

Screen Printed

Archidea PPC Coated

Ceramic Painted

Each product offers great versatility to suit any type of application within a building.

Most suppliers have a very limited standard colour range when applied to this type of product, generally 6-10 and any colours outside of these carry a substantial surcharge. We, however pride ourselves on being able to offer the RAL Colour Range as our standard; this versatility in colours allows for a whole host of design concepts.

Our colour range is so versatile it can be incorporated with other types of Decorative products, for example Vanceva Laminated so they can either match or contrast each other. (see Manufacturing/Decorative Laminate Glazing for more information on Vanceva)

The term 'Screen Printed' relates to the method of which the pattern or design is applied to the surface of the glass. This type of product can be used for a variety of applications, however it is generally used for Modesty or Manifestation purposes but can be equally effective for applying Logo's or Text to glass.

Our Screen Printed products can be supplied in Single or Double Glazed formats consisting of Monolithic or Laminated glasses; however, regardless of the format or glass type this product is always supplied in Toughened as this process is used to fuse the print to the glass surface.

Archidea gives a completely new concept to Decorative Glazing, offering a superior finish and quality to that of standard ceramic coatings. Archidea has a Powder Coated Colour applied, similar to that used on aluminium profiles.

Archidea has a multitude of uses allowing it to be used in a wide array of applications; ranging from Full Cover Panels to Delicate & Detailed Art Work.

When used as Full Cover Panels, Archidea can be used as a standard Spandrel Panel or as a Free Standing Panel that can be viewed from both sides; unlike conventional Ceramic Panels Archidea does not suffer from any pin-holing and from the coated side appears as a smooth durable coating. When used for art work, Archidea offers unprecedented detail and colour; ideal for Company Logos to Complex Displays.
