Designers, architects and appliances industries have discovered the flexibility and usability of ceramic ink printed glass. Just look at how creative minds have brought brilliant ideas to life on building exteriors, interior glass and all manner of glass projects all with unmatched sustainability.
GSW Digital Ceramic Glass can really help bring your design to life with our cutting-edge printing facilities.
We employ the latest ceramic printing machinery, Vitro Jet F Type, which is among the largest in the glass industry and have the ability to incorporate bespoke designs and motifs onto your glass. Each and every design we produce is unique to our clients.
Our glass printing is state-of-the-art: the glass is heated to fuse the ink onto the surface, producing a final product that is extremely durable and very stable against UV degradation and surface chemicals. This makes it suitable for many different applications in architectural , and security markets. For structural glass, such as flooring, we can also design custom frit patterns for anti-slip features.
For more complex printing, GSW Glazing have the capability and the know-how to provide a printed PVB film inter layer which is then laminated into two or more layers of glass. This type of printing allows an exceptional level of detail that completely protected from the external environment.
