Ceramic Fritted Glass for Architectural Projects

Ceramic fritted glass has a glass enamel decoration fused to the glass during firing. “Screen-printed” and “digitally printed” describe application methods; those terms alone do not confirm that the decoration is ceramic.

If the specification requires ceramic frit, say so explicitly. Include the finish description and any nominated material or process requirements. The proposed printing method and suitability for the specified glass construction need to be agreed for the order.

A reference image can start the discussion, but it does not define a production pattern. Show where the pattern begins and ends, which areas remain clear and how it aligns across adjacent panels.

For repeated panels, identify any mirrored layouts, changes in orientation and different artwork revisions. Separate the visual design from holes, edgework and other fabrication details.

Describe the required colour reference and the appearance to be assessed: reflected colour, transmitted appearance or both. State the base glass, thickness and complete build-up, including any specified interlayer, coating or cavity.

The colour reference is a target for review, not a guarantee that every substrate or build-up will look identical. If low-iron glass is specified, include it with the finish requirement rather than treating it as a substitute for sample approval.

Provide a section or marked drawing showing the intended printed surface, viewing side and any contact with other materials. Identify the specified heat treatment and required project documents.

A ceramic finish does not, on its own, establish a solar-control value, safety classification or bird-collision rating. If the project requires those results, list the required evidence for the actual proposed configuration. Compatibility with coatings, interlayers and seals also needs review; it is not assumed from the product names.

Where samples or a mock-up are specified, identify the representative construction and viewing conditions. Agree what the approval needs to cover, such as pattern alignment, clear areas and the selected colour reference.

Record the accepted artwork revision and visual criteria with the order. Sample scope, timing and any charges are agreed separately. For opaque non-vision façade areas, include the spandrel requirements as well.

Start with the pattern or artwork reference, panel schedule, required construction and project destination. Add the quantity, requested delivery date, documents and approval process. Mark any open items rather than guessing a specification.

Email the drawings and artwork to info@evermadeglass.com, or describe the requirement in the enquiry form. Attachments are sent by email; the website form does not upload files.
