Have you seen back-painted glass?
I had a communique over the weekend with someone who could not decide on a returned splash material. Her kitchen's beautiful, and modern-day. It's a symphony of horizontal planes and smooth surfaces. I find it irresistible. Despite my developing reputation as the mosaic guy, once I first noticed the gap a mosaic isn't always what popped into my head. Instead of a mosaic, I counseled that she remember sheets of back-painted glass.
Back-painted glass is exactly what it appears like it'd be. It's a sheet of 1/4", three/8", half" or 3/four" thick clear glass. The back of the glass is painted after which baked on. As a end result, you glance through a layer of clean glass at a colour in the again. It's a amazing impact, the coloration appears to float.
Glass comes in a hundred thirty" x 84" sheets so it is very feasible to cowl entire areas with seamless glass. Sometimes, returned-painted glass gets established as smaller panels, however it really is almost always a classy call.
The photos scattered across this post are from Soda Glas s , a northern California coated glass manufacturer. They have retailers in San Francisco and in Sacramento. Other manufacturers and suppliers across the US, Canada and Europe are plentiful. Nothing else looks or behaves like this material. I cannot for the life of me imagine it in anything but a really minimalist setting. Am I wrong?
