Gold and silver leaf is gilt across two layers of glass in this 3-dimensional design – with a third layer of black backing glass.

Please allow 1-3mm additional panel thickness to allow for bonding agents.

Laminated Glass

• Laminated glass is produced through the use of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) as an inter-layer. The process of laminating glass forms a safety glass – holding together even when shattered.
• This EVA solution can be mixed in a clear form to become invisible once set or a white adhesive can be used to create a `milky` finish, altering the translucency of the glass.
• Additionally, foreign objects such as fabrics, metal meshes, wood veneers, stone veneers, paper, and digital films, etc. can be placed between the glass to form a strong, functional, and decorative panel design.

Gilded / Mirrored / Silvered Glass

• Silvered glass (or mirrored glass) is produced by coating a glass surface with a reflective substance. Although it is called silvering, this is just a remnant of past times when silver was the most common substance used in the process – a variety of metallic substances such as aluminium or tin can also be used.
• Gilding is a technique for decorating surfaces by applying a thin layer of metal (metal leaf). The surface is then described as having been gilt. This is traditionally gold (gold gilded / gold gilt) but a range of metals can be used such as silver (silver gilded / silver gilt), copper (copper gilded / copper gilt), or bronze (bronze gilded / bronze gilt).
