Back-painted glass has an elegant contemporary look and offers both functionality and versatility. It can be used to create functional art in your home and/or office.
What is back-painted glass?
Sometimes known as colour-coated glass, back-painted glass is clear glass that’s painted from the backside and viewed from the front, rendering it opaque, with a solid colour. It comes in ⅛ to ½ inch thickness and can be made from annealed or tempered glass. It adheres to a variety of horizontal and vertical surfaces and can be used as a design element in both home and business settings. Back-painted glass creates elegant, functional works of art.
Why choose back-painted glass?
- Durability: Back-painted glass endures heat, humidity and moisture. It will not peel, stain, chip or distort and looks fresh even years after installation.
- Versatility: Back-painted glass can be fabricated to your specifications and installed on horizontal and vertical surfaces. Available in unlimited colours, a range of glass surface options (low iron textures, anti-glare, etched), a variety of edges (bevelled, polished, seamed) and a number of patterns, it will set the tone and mood for any room. Back-painted glass is available in a variety of thicknesses and in large sheets or small panels.
- Hygienic: Back-painted glass is non-porous so it won’t trap germs, bacteria or mildew.
- Low maintenance: It’s easy to clean and disinfect, making maintenance quick and simple.

- The kitchen: Back-painted glass is non-porous and easy to clean making it perfect for vibrant (seamless or nearly seamless) backsplashes, custom glass tabletops, modern bar tops and kitchen islands. Have a contemporary kitchen? Try back-painted glass cabinets for a sleek and modern appearance. Consider cladding kitchen walls in back-painted glass as it resists heat and moisture and maintains a finish for a long time.
- The bathroom: Back-painted glass withstands moisture, is easy to sanitize and looks amazing with the glass, metal and porcelain often found in bathrooms. Use it as a backsplash or as a washbasin countertop. Its smooth seamless appearance is perfect for shower wall panels. Try glass wall panels that blend in with the other walls or introduce a vivid burst of colour.
- Kids rooms: Consider a white back-painted wall in a child’s bedroom or playroom. It’s the perfect writable surface for little artists.
