HGP Decorative Silkscreen cont'd

Both transparent and translucent silkscreen pattern glasses are well suited for interior applications. Walls, doors and partitions can be designed for privacy or openness and decorated with patterns or custom design to suit the aesthetic desires of any client. Public areas such as wainscotting in hotel lobbies, airports, bathrooms, or elevator walls clad with Decorative Silkscreen glass is more resistant to graffiti than most building materials, easy to clean and attractive.

PATTERN PERFORMANCE VALUES

Decorative patterns can be combined with clear or tinted glass substrates. Most frequently the pattern is applied to the inside of the outboard lite (#2 surface) of an insulating unit with a clear inboard lite. The performance values for the three standard patterns are shown in the attached chart. HGP can match many custom colors and design required for your project. Decorative Silkscreen glass can be specifically designed to reduce glare, decrease solar transmission while creating beautiful geometric and graphic patterns. Heat treating is required for all silkscreened glass plies.
