Glass is not only used for its functional advantageous, opacity or transparency. Rather it is equally well used for decorative purposes, often as functional glass with a decorative edge to it. There are a few kinds of decorative glass, such as decorative glass that is sandwiched inside laminated glass.
This kinds of glass has a few benefits:
Because the decorative glass is protected by a sandwich of laminated glass it is extremely durable and hard-wearing. This means that it is suitable to be used in applications such as stairs and shop windows, where durability is an advantage.
Whilst this kind of decorative glass might be considered inherently durable, it looks just like you would imagine glass to look, delicate, fragile and attractive. Decorative glass wall panels, for example, can dramatically transform the way a room in the home, an office or conference space looks.
Decorative glass can be extremely functional as well as decorative. Some high quality decorative glass is produced under vacuum lamination with EVA film. One of the advantages of this is that glass panels have good transparency.
Some other uses of decorative glass include: furniture glass, cabinets in bathrooms, glass partitions, glass counter-tops and of course regular, albeit very decorative, windows. Decorative glass can radically improve how many different kinds of spaces look, feel and perform, from residential spaces to commercial spaces.
