Silkscreening is the process of spraying ceramic frit paint through a pre-designed screen to achieve a desired pattern. Architectural screening enamels are used on various glass substrates and thicknesses, 1/8" to 1/2". The enamels are cured or fired into the glass during the tempering or heat strengthening cycle, reaching temperatures ranging from 1100° to 1350° F. Architectural screen printing patterns consist of holes, dots, stripes, and many other custom designs. The printed glass products are used for decorations on buildings, office and room dividers, signs, phone booths, handrails and doors, shower doors, etc. Silkscreened products are available as an insulated unit, a monolithic lite, or a laminated piece of glass.
