About GlassKote process

The Glasskote process is fundamentally a permanent, colour fixing process for glass. The process utilizes a Special Additive that is mixed into certain paints and inks and establishes permanent adhesion. Glasskote is a unique additive that can be efficiently applied to almost every type of glass for internal and external use. Add to this a range of textures such as metallic, fluorescent, opaque and translucent along with the ability to screen any graphics onto the glass, the sky is the limit.



GlasskoteOnce the colour treatment has been applied, it melds to the surface of the glass to form an impervious and durable finish, which retains the fullness of the colour applied.

The real benefits of the Glasskote Process are the almost unlimited pallet of 1,000’s of colors available and its multitude of applications. The product is now used as external architectural features of buildings (Spandrel Panels), design features of interiors such as foyers, feature wall’s, splash-backs in the kitchen and bathrooms as a substitute for tiles in wet areas.

Glasskote can be applied by hand spraying, curtain coating, automatic spraying or screening.
