Kiln-formed Glass — Patterned and Textured Glass

When a decorative, distinctive look with a measure of diffused privacy is desired, Kiln-formed Glass provides options. Kiln-formed Glass is a heat molded or “slumped” glass. It is made by reforming regular glass with heat rather than by abrading it (as is done with etching or sandblasting). The integrity of the Kiln-formed Glass components is not eroded so it does not have an absorbent or abrasive surface.

Kiln-formed Glass is available in hundreds of standard textures and designs – and custom solutions may be specified to coordinate precisely with style, motif and color palette. Many special treatments and finishes may be applied to Kiln-formed Glass. It can be tempered, colored, bent, laminated and frosted.

Kiln-formed Glass is used in all manner of architectural applications: entry systems, doors, windows, bath and shower enclosures, shelving, lighting, partitions, dividers and screens, tile, art work, sculpture, signage, furniture, gates, fencing, balustrades, door and cabinets inserts, stair rails and treads, table tops and bases, accessories and as surfacing material for counters, walls and flooring.
