Patterned glass, also known as textured glass, rolled glass, or embossed glass, features patterns created through a specific pressing process. Below is a detailed process of patterned glass pattern pressing:
I. Main Processes
The pressing of patterned glass patterns mainly uses a rolling method, specifically divided into single-roller and double-roller methods.
Single-roller method:
The glass liquid is poured onto a rolling forming table. The table is usually made of cast iron or cast steel, and has predetermined patterns engraved on it.
A roller rolls over the glass liquid, causing the glass liquid to form according to the pattern on the table or roller.
The produced patterned glass is then sent to an annealing kiln for annealing to enhance its stability and durability.
Double-roller method:
The glass liquid passes through a pair of water-cooled rollers. The lower roller usually has a concave-convex pattern on its surface, while the upper roller is a polished roller.
As the rollers rotate, the glass liquid is pulled forward and pressed into shape, forming patterned glass with a pattern on one side.
The double-roller method is further divided into semi-continuous rolling and continuous rolling processes to meet different production needs.
II. Process Characteristics
Translucent and opaque: Patterned glass is optically translucent and opaque, making the light soft while providing privacy protection and decoration.
Diverse patterns: By changing the patterns on the rollers, patterned glass with different patterns and textures can be produced to meet diverse decorative needs.
Stable physical and chemical properties: The physical and chemical properties of patterned glass are basically the same as those of ordinary transparent float glass, with good durability and stability.
III. Application Scenarios
Patterned glass is widely used in building, home decoration, and commercial display. Its unique patterns and textures not only enhance the artistic atmosphere of the space but also provide privacy protection and decorative effects. For example, long-strip glass, as a type of patterned glass, is often used in entrance areas or partitions due to its blurring matte effect and translucent, non-transparent characteristics, ensuring privacy while not affecting lighting.
In summary, the patterns of patterned glass are pressed using the single-roller or double-roller process in the rolling method. These methods give patterned glass unique patterns and textures, meeting diverse decorative needs.
