Further to my posting last week regarding glass splashbacks for a shower enclosure in Newcastle, we have received a number of enquiries requesting further information. So, I thought it would be good idea to provide a brief explanation of the glass we fabricate for coloured glass splashbacks and glass vanity worktops.
For glass in the bathroom we use Opti-White clear glass which is available in 6mm, 8mm, 10mm & 15mm thickness. It has low iron content and is crystal clear - unlike standard glass which has high iron content, thus the green tint throughout. When using colour, Opti-White will give you a near perfect colour match. It is also toughened to meet all British Safety Standards and all edges are polished.
As for thickness, for glass vanity worktops we advise using 15mm thick glass; for glass splashbacks we advise using 6mm thick glass.
Colouring
Glass receives up to four coats with resin based paint, on the underside, to match a colour of your choice. We have our own colour palette which is derived from the British RAL colour chart. We can also work with most of the DULUX range of colours.
Fixing
For fixing glass to walls/surfaces we recommend using a clear low modular silicone, which can be purchased from Bathing Bliss Bathrooms or any high street DIY store. Always make sure all surfaces are straight/plumb and clean and clear of any surface grit or dirt. Also check that the surface has no fluids/agents/cleaning creams which will react with the silicone. Alternatively, we can drill holes into the corners of the glass for fixing with mirror screws.
Alternatively, you can use our full site survey/template, delivery and installation service.
