Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope® offers a variety of silk-screened decorative glass products to satisfy a wide range of applications. Light frit colors and certain pattern designs can cause enhanced brightness when viewed from indoors under certain daylight and background sky conditions, while dark frit colors will tend to reduce glare. Applications include transparent and translucent silk-screened glass for interior applications, including glass doors, partitions, handrails, glass ceilings, floors, bathrooms, elevator walls, shower enclosures, court walls for racket sports and sneeze guards for food service.

Most heat-treated silk-screened glass is not permanently marked with a logo unless it is specifically requested at the time of placing an order. The design professional is responsible for specifying the use of a logo as required to meet the governing building codes. Available in one-piece orders or high-volume runs, silk-screened decorative glass is custom-made by transferring a silk-screen image to the glass and then processing it through a horizontal tempering furnace. Each individual lite is screen-printed with the desired pattern and ceramic enamel frit color. The ceramic frit can be silk-screened onto the glass substrate in one of three standard patterns, dots, lines, holes, or in a full-coverage application. In addition, custom patterns can be easily duplicated on the glass. Depending on the pattern and the color, the glass lite can be made transparent, translucent or opaque.

Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope® offers the following standard color options: White, Etch, Solargray®, Solarbronze®, Black, Solex®, Ford Blue, Lava Bronze, Warm Gray and Subdued Gray. Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope® offers a variety of glass products to meet your architectural glazing design needs.
