Arch announces decorative silk-screened glass production

Silk-screened products provide designers endless architectural possibilities and also help control both solar heat gain and light transmission. According to Cliff Monroe, who has launched the new Orlando process and its new state-of-the-art equipment, "We are supplying standard silk-screened glass with white ceramic frit paint applied in either a dot (40% coverage), line (50% coverage), hole (60% coverage) or sandblast appearance (100% coverage) pattern. Custom silk-screened glass is being offered in almost any color or pattern. Possible applications are endless, and all these products can be ordered from any Arch branch."

All Arch silk-screened glass is either heat strengthened or fully tempered in order to prevent breakage due to thermal stress. Arch Orlando houses two of Arch's 14 North American tempering furnaces, enabling rapid lead-times for silk-screened glass products.
