Patterned-Mirrored Glass

They are glasses produced by applying enamel paints in different colours with screen/roller printing method on the uncoloured or cloured float glasses and by tempering them. It is possible to apply backgrounds and/or patterns on the surface of the glasses with screen printing according to the purposes of the designers.

The sisecam Tentesol and Tentesol Titanium are the reflective solar control glasses of sisecam Float Glasses. The coated glasses are the main products for the architectural use of the glasses. The coated glasses provide solar control with low reflection through the glass combinatios or single glasses. They are also described as environmental control glasses controlling the extensive brightness or radiation heat of the sun rays, providing integrity by hiding the constructional background items for the side plating, restricting seeing the other side from the side where the light is more intense and providing colours for the structures. They can also be used as sub-glasses for the production of coated glasses and mirrors.

The sisecam Lacquered Glasses are decorative glasses produced by applying gloss paints on the Şişecam Float Glasses. The Şişecam Lacquered Glasses are an aesthetic solution providing different alternatives to the designers with their seven different standard colours which are only used interior decorations. Since the paint used in the painting process does not containg any kind of heavy metal or chemical components harmful to the environment, they are environmental-friendly products. They are not scattered when they get broken in the places where they are used as a safety glasses and therefore the risks to get injured are removed.

The tempering operation includes heating and cooling stages in order to provide compression stress to the exterior surfaces and indirect tensile stress to the middle area of the glasses on the horizontal line. The full-tempered glasses are 5 times more durable than the glasses without any kind of operation. When they got broken, they scatter as partial pieces like really small ice particles not as big pieces. Those scattered pieces are expected to create less damage than the float glasses scattered completely. The tempered glasses which are also known as hardened glasses are a type of safety glasses. The tempered glasses are used for the areas where the glasses are expected to be broken hard and not to harm consumers when they are broken such as front glasses for the buildings, appliance glasses, automotive sector, shower cabins and bath-tub glasses, furniture glasses, railings, banisters, glasses for balcony closing systems.
