True color with low-iron glass
Ordinary glass has a slight green tint that changes colors behind it. For whites and light brand colors we use low-iron glass so the painted color reads true. We match paint to your brand standards and provide samples before fabrication.
Clean installation details
Back-painted panels are mounted with structural adhesive or concealed fasteners, with cutouts for outlets and switches measured precisely on site. Edges are polished and joints aligned for a flawless finish.

Need a specific answer? Call our estimating team at (202) 492-0676.
Can back-painted glass be written on?
Yes. Glass marker boards are back-painted glass that accepts dry-erase markers and never stains.
Can you match our brand color?
Yes. We match paint to a Pantone or sample and approve it with you before production.
How are outlets handled?
We measure cutouts on site and fabricate them before tempering so outlets and switches remain accessible.
