Applied Color UltraGlas components can be back-finished in any specified color or combination of colors. Applied colors may be specified for transparent, translucent or opaque results — in selective areas or across an entire piece. Virtually any color or combination of colors, including metallics, irridescents and other special effects, can be achieved to coordinate with other architectural elements. Applied color is generally used in applications where the treated side of the glass is not accessible to contact. Monolithic Color UltraGlas has pioneered the technology of fusing color with glass — creating a permanent bond. Virtually any opaque or translucent color or combination of colors, including metallics, irridescents and other special effects, may be specified for selective areas or across an entire piece.
