LEARN 6 COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT SPANDREL GLASS HERE

There is a vast range of glass available to satisfy the requirements of each project. One such possibility is spandrel glass.

​

Unlike vision glass, which is intended to be transparent, spandrel glass is intended to be opaque in order to conceal elements such as vents, wires, slab ends, and mechanical equipment between the floors of a building.

​

Ceramic frit and silicone elastomeric paint are the most commonly used products to ensure the glass is opaque or translucent. Spandrel glass, which must be heat treated, can be colour customized as a decorative or contrasting feature to match the surrounding window wall. 

 

The fabrication procedure for spandrel monolithic glass and spandrel insulated glass (IG) entails adding an opacifier to the indoor surface of a glass lite, which is commonly produced from silicone-based paint or ceramic frits. The goal of this method is to produce tinted or coloured glass panels that fit in with the rest of a building's front.

Standard colors are tried and true colors for the glass industry. Actually, they are hold over colors from way back in the day when glass light transmission was very low. Which meant spandrel coatings needed to be very dark to actually affect color. Still, today they are used as much as ever.
