Whether adding pristine branding and pops of color for retail and hospitality guest experiences or within an office, back-painting elevates an average glass piece to the next level, and beyond. 

Beauty and simplicity aside, back-painting is functional and easy to maintain. Its durability and strength make it useful for applications within high-traffic areas, including glass railings, hotel lobby walls, partitions and dividers, shower enclosures, and more.

Since there’s no limit to back-painted colors, the possibilities are endless!  

Learn more about the various benefits and advantages of back-painted glass, along with accompanying uses and applications.

Advantages of Back-Painted Glass 

Differing from lacquered glass, back-painting is more appropriate for areas exposed to high activity, such as hotel and office lobbies, and restaurant and bar areas. It also helps prevent excessive chipping, fading, and scratching. As a natural, non-porous material, glass is protected from pollutants and other foreign substances, such as bacteria, corrosion, and mold.

Achieving both privacy and style, back-painting is fully opaque. Consider additional decorative elements, such as silk screening, sandblasting, and acid etching—all of which can be adjusted to achieve specific opacity levels. 

Back-painting offers the following additional benefits: 

• Endless Color Choices: Easily coincide applications with specific designs.

• Strength & Durability: Keep glass surfaces free from regular wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas. 
• Easy Upkeep: Surfaces will continually look like new for years to come.
• Lifetime Guarantee: Offering full assurance regarding chips, flakes, or scratches, any project comprising Dillmeier Glass Company’s ceramic ink finish is covered by the fabricator’s Lifetime Guarantee.
