Abstract
The present invention is directed generally to a method of preparing textured glass, namely decorative glass and/or dichroic glass. The present method may also allow the bonding of an additional substrate to the textured glass, textured decorative glass, and/or textured dichroic glass. A glass, decorative glass, and/or dichroic glass that can be textured, laminated, and fully protective may also be provided from the present method described herein.
Claims23
A process of making textured glass, comprising the steps of:
- providing a substantially flat substrate;
- applying a bonding film to said substantially flat substrate;
- applying a decorative film to said bonding film;
- applying a flat form plane to said decorative film;
- removing said flat form plane;
- applying a textured surface;
- setting a pattern within said bonding film and said decorative film;
- and
- removing said textured surface;
- forming glass having an impressed pattern.
The process of claim 9, further comprising the step of removing air between said substantially flat substrate and said flat form plane during said step of applying heat.
A process of making dichroic glass, comprising the steps of:
- providing a substantially flat substrate comprising glass;
- applying a bonding film comprising ethyl vinyl acetate to said substantially flat substrate;
- applying a decorative film comprising metal foil or dichroic film to said bonding film;
- applying a flat form plane to said decorative film;
- applying heat between said substantially flat substrate and said flat form plane;
- removing air between said substantially flat substrate and said flat form plane;
- removing said platform plane;
- applying a textured glass surface;
- setting a pattern within said bonding film and said decorative film;
- applying heat during said step of setting a pattern;
- and
- removing said textured glass surface;
- forming glass having an impressed pattern.
