Whether intended for an accent wall, partition or divider, reception desk countertop, hotel room closet door and shower wall, or magnetic whiteboard, custom-colored glass is a popular feature for a variety of commercial and residential interiors, particularly within the corporate and hospitality industries.

This technique of color-coating glass to a unique shade, also called back painting, adds distinction to a design, and can be tailored to highlight an organization’s personality.

Because it requires ample time, skill and precision to create a custom-colored glass masterpiece, it’s best to obtain it from a reputable commercial glass fabricator.

Remember, however, that every company within a specific industry—whether cosmetics, automobile, or glass fabrication, for example—differs from one another. Although they may all focus on a particular product or service, their individual operations, talent, mission and customer support, vary. Consequently, those interested in incorporating custom-colored glass into a commercial interior space should contact multiple fabricators before making such a decision. This way, they can assess which option would be the best.

As discussed in one of our previous posts, there are a handful of key qualities a glass fabricator should have. These include:

• Longevity and Established Experience
• A Solid Reputation
• Range of Capabilities
• A Dedicated and Talented Team
• Exceptional Quality of Resources and Equipment

Furthermore, when it comes to custom back painting, it's always wise to research a fabricator’s color-matching abilities, as this will reveal just how accurate the finished product will be. Even though there are a limitless number of back-painted glass colors available, due to color-matching techniques, this doesn’t mean every fabricator will provide its customers with such a service.
