Back in the 1950's, a rudimentary colour coating process for glass was developed. After exhaustive testing and much trial and error, the Colorfirm process was born.
The Colorfirm process is fundamentally a permanent, colour fixing process for glass. The process utilizes current paint computer colour-matching technology combined with a unique additive that can be efficiently applied to almost every type of glass. Add to this a range of textures such as metallic, fluorescent, opaque and translucent along with the ability to screen any graphics onto the glass, the sky is the limit.
Once the colour treatment has been applied, it melds to the surface of the glass to form an impervious and durable surface, which retains the fullness of the colour applied.
Technically, Colorfirm can be applied to any glass type whether it be, heat resistant, laminated, safety, toughened or specialty glass with raised patterns shapes or styles.
The inherent durability and waterproof nature of glass cannot be understated. Glass requires less maintenance and outlasts most current architectural finishes. Glass is easy to clean and doesn't harbour germs or bacteria as well as offering structural strength, durability and it is also non-porous.
The real benefits of the Colorfirm Process are the almost unlimited pallet of colours available and its multitude of applications. The product is now used as external architectural features of buildings, design features of interiors such as foyers and feature wall trims, splashbacks in the kitchen and bathrooms and as a substitute for tiles in wet areas.
Glass decorative Panels
Colorfirm decorative glass panels are manufactured to compliment a wide range of applications.
The purpose of Colorfirm glass is to cover backing walls and or services. For the purposes of a visual inspection standard they should be viewed from a distance of 3 metres and at a 90-degree angle to the panel from the non-coated side of the glass.
Glass should not be viewed in transmitted light.
There are pinholes in the finished coating and variance in paint density due to the application method i.e. spraying. The pinholes and paint variances are inherent in wall cladding panels production and can be most easily seen by holding the glass up to the light and viewing from the coated side. If applications other than the intended use above are required assistance from our technical staff should be sought. More... |
