Ceramic Coating
Prel-Coat spandrel glass lites are opaque panels mainly used in non-vision sections of curtain wall. The panels are located between sections of transparent windows and are used to hide the structure parts which shouldn’t been seen from the exterior. Spandrel glass is monolithic, laminated or insulating glass that has been covered with an opaque ceramic coating.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Prel-Coat ceramic frit coating offers outstanding resistance to cracks, scratches, fading and chemical products
- Available in 14 standard colours, custom colours can also be developed from samples provided by the designer
- Prel-Coat ceramic coating is applied on the surface of the glass using a horizontal roller applicator. The glass is then heated in a furnace at a temperature of about 621°C (1150°F). This treatment fuses the ceramic to the surface of the glass.
- Once the heat treatment is completed, the ceramic coating is extremely resistant to cracking, fading as well as chemical attacks
