Grouppe Re: "Self" Illuminating Indoor And Outdoor Architectural Glazing Elements

A material originally developed for safety reasons - phosphorescent glass - is now being used in architectural glazing, and especially in interior and exterior decorating. phosphorescent glass reveals the attraction of phosphorescent pigments, a material originally developed for security reasons and also used in the watch industry. Brilliant colours and a new dimension of chromatic depth are evoked by the application of phosphorescent enamels on glass. Within the production process the colours are "burnt" on the surface of the glass, which guarantees the persistence of the intended design. This article gives an idea of how this technique can be used to "illuminate" our world with light and colour.
