From the Resene News – issue 4/2006 Glass in colour - Colour Back Glass The trend towards translucency of finishes has seen a surge in the popularity of Colour Back Glass, a product that combines colours from the Resene Total Colour System, including the popular Resene Metallics and Special Effects range, or a custom match to corporate or other colour selections, with the alluring mystique of the depth of glass casting a unique twist on the colour hidden beneath. Using the exclusive GCP paint system, formulated and tested by Resene for wet and dry adhesion, permeability, heat, boiling water and humidity resistance, performance of Colour Back Glass applied by a etwork of licensed applicators is guaranteed for 10 years. The system replaces more traditional and expensive methods of colouring glass and incorporates the spray application of a specially formulated paint system onto glass to impart a permanent colour finish. The glass acts as a looking glass into the colour beneath and as a protector against normal wear and tear. Popular in wet areas, such as bathroom linings and shower corners in place of tiling, stainless steel or marble and as splashbacks in kitchens and bathrooms, Colour Back Glass is being transformed into wall panels and dividers in commercial environments, text walls in place of traditional signage and as a decorative element both inside and out. A myriad of frosted glass options extend the selection even further. A recent project at St Josephs Church, Basin Reserve, Wellington was a collaboration between Metropolitan Glass Wellington, Westview Aluminium and Innovation on Glass to create feature windows of Resene Pohutukawa on clearfloat toughened glass that are equally striking no matter the viewing point. With an Innovation on Glass ceiling built into the Beehive boardroom as part of its 2003 refurbishment to facilitate even lighting across the room providing the necessary proof, one has the luxury of selecting for practicality or decorativeness without having to forego either property.
