Silk-screen

Glass Silk Screen: A process of applying a specific design or pattern to glass. The design is made by placing a screen over a piece of glass and then pressing ceramic frit by means of a large squeegee through the pores of the screen. After the frit is applied the glass goes through an infra-red oven to dry the frit and then through a tempering furnace to fire (bond) the frit to the glass permanently.

Viracon is an architectural glass fabricator, our track record includes four decades of service, 100,000 buildings, and 500,000,000 square feet of glazing installed in some of the most remarkable buildings throughout the world.
