Dichroic Glass
Dichroic glass is a mesmerising material that exhibits stunning color-shifting properties, appearing to change hues when viewed from different angles or under varying lighting conditions.
Originating from the Greek words "di" meaning two, and "chroma" meaning color, dichroic glass contains multiple micro-layers of metal oxides applied to its surface through a vacuum deposition process. This unique construction allows it to transmit and reflect different wavelengths of light simultaneously, resulting in a spectacular visual effect.
What is dichroic glass?
Whether used in small decorative pieces or large-scale architectural projects, Proto Glass Studios process dichroic glass sheets of various thicknesses from 4mm-12mm and sheets up to 3.2m x 2.4m in size. We can supply to all shapes and sizes and can also manufacture it into a safety glass by offering it as toughened and/or laminated.
