Painting processes

Roller painting

Roller painting or parapet painting is the process of coating the entire surface of a glass sheet with a layer of paint of a specific colour based on the RAL colour chart. After the paint coat has dried, the painted glass is heat treated. During the tempering process, the paint is burnt into the surface of the glass at temperatures above 600°C.

During the roller painting process, the painting machine is always adjusted to the individual order, as the thickness of the paint applied to the glass surface is determined by the customer's requirements. Roller painting enables fast, productive glass processing and can be used on glass of varying sizes and shapes.

This process is mainly used for the painting of counter tops (e.g. refrigerated counters, bar counters, washbasins), railings, glass wall cladding, glass doors (e.g. shower doors, entrance doors), glass shelves, glass tables or even reinforced concrete pillar walls.

Sieving

At screen painting, also known as sieving, paint is applied by pressing it through an illuminated sieve mesh onto part of the surface of the glass sheet for decorative purposes or over the entire surface for colouring.

At screen painting, the paint is tempered after drying at a temperature of at least 600°C.

Typically, this process is used for logos, pictograms and simple patterns. The real efficiency and speed of the method can be observed in the case of series production, as it is an environmentally friendly, paint-saving process.

This process is mainly used for painting bus shelter glass, covered glass bicycle shelters, street furniture, light fixtures, meters, fireplace doors.
