Backpainted Glass – New Colors, New Options

Element Designs introduced backpainted glass in 2013 and it has quickly become one of our more requested products. All of Element’s low-iron glass is custom manufactured to your size specifications and features a high-quality, environmentally friendly water-based coating system. Backpainted glass is now available in 9 standard colors, 177 non-standard colors, and custom colors. Element Designs can custom match any color for a small fee which covers the paint matching process and 2, 12″ x 12″ samples. Backpainted glass is tempered when the diagonal exceeds 17″.

Take your backpainted glass panels one step further with magnetic markerboards. Available in standard (white gloss, olive gloss, charcoal gloss, sand gloss, silver gloss, mocha gloss) and non-standard colors, panels are manufactured with an integrated magnetic backer. Panels are durable, easy to clean, and stain resistant. Magentic markerboards are available in sizes up to 48″ by 120″.

Element Designs can add custom graphics to magnetic markerboards like maps, calendars, signage, logos, monograms, and more.

 

 

All magnetic markerboards are manufactured with streamlined mounting brackets that make the panels low profile. The special Z-Clip mechanism makes them easy to install yet sturdy enough to support large panels.
