Gradient or fade patterns provide an interesting decorative element and control visibility while allowing light transmission into a space.
Our gradients are available in virtually any color or special pigment. In a fade pattern, the color transitions from full coverage at one edge of the glass to transparent or nearly transparent at the opposite edge. The rate of transition and the transparency of the ink itself can each be controlled to achieve the degree of privacy and light transmission characteristics that are desired. A double fade can fade from transparent at each edge to solid in the center, or from solid at each edge to transparent in the center.
Decorative glass with a gradient pattern is well-suited for health care facilities, classrooms, office environments, or other applications where privacy and openness are both priorities.
Our gradient patterns can be modified to include different levels of solid or clear, to fade over shorter or longer areas, or to include a double fade.
