I’m back and today I’m sharing the first of my five favorite ways to add color found at Neocon East–
Dreamwalls Colored Glass
I like the clean, uncluttered look of colored glass for backsplashes and in kitchen or wet bar areas but it can be used in bathrooms, spas or even dining areas.
How about on the fronts of the cabinets as well. I love this look. It appeals both to my love of bold color and sleek design.
Color glass, or back-painted glass, isn’t new but what I like about the Gardner Glass product is that they are mirror makes so they use the same glass they use when making mirrors, which is the highest quality in the industry.
They also use the same process they use in making mirrored glass but instead of coating with silver they coat with paint. This produces a pristine surface to the color.
The next step is to add the protective, backing paint layer that they use on mirrors. This not only protects the color layer from scratches during handling, but also adds to the opacity of the color - so that no mastics or wall flaws ever show through the front of the the installation. Of course this layer can be eliminated If a transparent effects is desired.
The glass is heat cured and viola. An easy-to-install product that can add incredible color and luminosity to any project.
