Abstract
Coated articles for use in backsplash applications such as kitchen backsplashes, bathroom backsplashes, and bathroom floor/wall applications. The coated article includes a coating on a glass substrate, where the coating includes a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of metal-based layers and is configured so that the coated article has desirable glass side reflective coloration (e.g., bronze, blue, silver, and/or grey coloration) and is sufficiently opaque to hide adhesive used to adhere the coated article to walls/floors. The coating may be configured to realize thermal stability in order to have minimal or reduced glass side reflective color shift up heat treatment (e.g., thermal tempering).
Claims24
A backsplash coated article including a coating supported by a glass substrate, the coating comprising:
- a first dielectric layer;
- a first metal based absorber layer over at least the first dielectric layer;
- a second dielectric layer over at least the first dielectric layer and the first metal based absorber layer;
- a second metal based absorber layer on the glass substrate over at least the first and second dielectric layers and the first metal based absorber layer;
- a third dielectric layer on the glass substrate over at least the first and second dielectric layers and the first and second metal based absorber layer;
- a third metal based absorber layer on the glass substrate over at least the first, second and third dielectric layers and the first and second metal based absorber layers;
- a fourth dielectric layer on the glass substrate over at least the first, second and third dielectric layers and the first, second and third metal based absorber layers;
- wherein the backsplash coated article has a visible transmission of 0-4%;
- and
- wherein the backsplash coated article is configured to be adhered to a wall or floor so that the coating is to be located between at least the glass substrate and the wall or floor.
