LACOBEL & BESPOKE BACK PAINTED GLASS
Supertuff is an AGC Certified Processor and we stock and supply the pre-painted Lacobel range which can be supplied as Annealed or Toughened Glass. Lacobel glass uses an enamel based paint which is applied at the float glass manufacturing process. As the glass is pre-painted, the glass can be cut, processed and tempered immediately, making delivery times a lot quicker.
The Lacobel range is available in a wide range of colours. Please contact us for more details.
Painted glass can be used in many different applications from wall cladding, kitchen splash backs to specialist structural glazing or to hide fixings.

This UV resistant paint protects glass from sunlight and penetration of acids making it perfect in a range of applications. It is applied in even thickness to the rear surface of the glass using a specialist spray technique. A second cover coat, in black, is then also applied giving it an opaque glass finish. Unlike coloured interlayers, this product and technique will prevent light passing through the glass making painted glass perfect for cladding. Once sprayed the paint is then cured to the glass with heat treatment.
Where the painted glass is to be used for decorative effect, such as creating a smooth coloured wall or in a kitchen splash back, extra clear Low Iron Glass can be used to maintain the clarity of the painted colour.
Back painting can be applied to Annealed or Toughened Glass at varying thicknesses, and can be used in various settings. This specialist paint is extremely durable being resistant to both moisture and heat.
