Glass Fusing technique and Characteristics
Glass fusing technique is the process in which we use heat to form and manipulate float glass over refractory moulds.
Glass fusing technique offers an exciting range of possibilities to create and capture fluid textures, patterns and optical effect. Whether custom or standard patterns, fused glass gives a unique beauty, subtlety and tactile quality.
Glass fusing technique is enormously versatile enabling it to be used in almost any application either decorative or structural for both internal and external application.
Glass Fusing technique produce a wide range of applied finishes including transparent, semitransparent and opaque effects.
Glass fusing technique is handmade customized glass with varieties of colors (color range up to 40 colors), textures and thickness (from 4 to 20 mm) based on the customer preference and type of application.
Glass fusing technique is produced at heat from 600 ᴼc to 900 ᴼc which ensure the fixation of colors (not affected by any external factors like light, temperature and any scratches).
Glass fusing technique is enhancing the artistic touch more than any other popular glass technique also it depends mainly on the customization satisfying different taste and style for each customer.
