Yes, the iridescence of colorful glass may weaken or disappear due to wear and tear, but the specific impact depends on its processing type and the extent of damage.

Source of iridescence and impact of wear

1. Coated Colorful Glass

- Uses vacuum coating technology; there is a layer of metal or oxide film on the surface.

- Impact of wear: If the coating is scratched, worn, or chemically corroded, the iridescence will be significantly weakened or even disappear.

2. Laminated Colorful Glass

- Creates an iridescent effect by sandwiching a colorful film or special coating between layers of glass.

- Impact of wear: Because the color layer is sandwiched within the glass, surface wear has a relatively small impact on iridescence; however, damage to the edges or seals may allow moisture to enter, causing delamination or discoloration.

3. Glazed Colorful Glass

- Uses glazing technology; the colorful coating is fused with the glass surface after high-temperature firing.

- Impact of wear: It has good wear resistance, but if it encounters strong scratching or chemical corrosion, it may cause local fading.

How to protect colorful glass from wear and tear?

Avoid scratching with hard objects; wipe with a soft cloth and mild detergent.

Reduce acid-base contact; avoid using strong acid cleaners (such as toilet bowl cleaner) to corrode the coating.

Install a protective layer; you can choose an anti-scratch protective film to extend the service life.
