Introduction
Back Painted Glass
There is no architectural material more versatile and beautiful
than glass and at Fusion Glass Designs we are especially
well equipped to understand its far-reaching potential.
Applied colour coatings in transparent, opaque and metallic,
in a wide range of standard colours and bespoke. These can
be applied to any type of glass.
Many years of experience, extensive technical knowledge
and perhaps most significantly, a flexible and imaginative
creative approach, have brought us commissions on a
fascinating range of projects.
We have come to realise that the possibilities for this
remarkable material are endless. Combining new and
traditional methods, we have tackled countless technical and
creative challenges producing work widely admired for both
its quality and originality.
Processing
Fusion Glass Designs provides a full in-house glass
processing service which includes the processing of float
glass, low iron glass and silvered glass in 4mm-25mm.
Kiln Cast Glass
Fusion Glass Designs has the largest facility for kiln cast
glass in the world. The company produces a diverse range of
kiln cast textures. In addition bespoke textures and designs
to commission can be created. Kiln cast glass can be tailormade to client’s requirements including curved to radius, cut
to complex shapes and drilled or countersunk. Kiln cast glass
can also be sandblasted, silvered, have a range of colours
applied to it and can be toughened or laminated.
Surface Decorated Glass
Sandblasting. Acid Etching. Gilding. Screen Printing.
Effects range from simple frosting, which can incorporate
logos, patterns and graphics, to more complex deep-carved,
3-dimensional work. Subtle effects can be achieved by
etching hard and soft lines, semi-tones, layering and a variety
of textures.
Surface decoration can be applied to toughened, laminated
kiln cast and curved glasses. A polymer coating is applied
to all sandblasted glass to prevent marks and for ease of
maintenance and cleaning.
UV Bonding
Bonding glass to glass without mechanical fixing.
Laminated Glass
As well as its structural and safety advantages of PVB
Laminated glass, there are a wealth of decorative possibilities
with laminated glass, allowing for the inclusion of opaque
and transparent, fabrics, papers, wood veneers and metal
meshes. This enables structural, acoustic and decorative
applications. Laminating can be carried out using annealed
or toughened glass of any thickness to create safety glazing
for areas requiring special consideration. It can be produced
in flat sheets or bent to radius. Fusion Glass Designs can
also digitally print onto the PVB interlayer high-resolution
images prior to laminating.
All glass can be combined with fire rated glass subject to
specification.
All glass can be integrated into insulated/double glazed
units.
