Decorate with glass (crystal types)
Glass is a hard, brittle, transparent and amorphous but offers different possibilities as a coating or a decorative object. Technological advances have allowed to be used as a structural solution in a variety of textures, patterns and colors.
The glass can serve as an effective alternative, colorful and decorative uses such as imaging.
- Colors: can be colored or pigmented by one side, like a ceramic. There are opaque glass, satin or bright, blanking plates with a wide range of colors.
- Protection screens: Mirrors extra-and satin etched on its front with a silver lining in the back.
- Transilluminator: Colorless, translucent, extra-glossy or etched designs, ideal for lighting from behind.
- Shuttle Photo: You can make pictures with photos printed on a raw glass, frosted or even a mirror. The results are very original and high quality.
Safety first is very important break in a crystal. Two successful classifications:
- Unbleached: They break into large pieces and can cause serious injuries. They require special care during transport and handling.
- Safety: They break glass which does not risk to people. Panels are highly recommended for large or highly exposed to the passage, doors, places where there are children or windows.
From a clear glass, there are different processes to configure their design and texture:
- Satin: Thanks to a chemical process by one side, you get a translucent glass, transparent.
- Frosted: Glass oil subjected to a mechanical process on one side.
- Mirrors are raw glass with a silver lining in one of its sides, which will then apply two coats of paint to protect it from corrosion and scratches.
- Bas-reliefs and engravings: abrasive products are used on one side of the glass to obtain volume and can reproduce any design pattern. While the engraving, is to reproduce a design carved into the glass, without generating volume.
- Double glazing sealed: Outstanding for its excellent ability to absorb noise and maintain temperature.
