KINGSTAR GLASS
Red Painted Glass | Opaque Decorative Architectural Glass from KINGSTAR BUILDING GLASS
KINGSTAR BUILDING GLASS Red Painted Glass is a premium opaque architectural glass created by applying a durable, high-quality paint or ceramic frit coating to the back surface of high-clarity float glass. The result is a glass with a vibrant, uniform, brilliant red color that is fully opaque, offering a bold, striking aesthetic for both interior and exterior applications. Unlike body-tinted glass where color permeates the entire thickness, painted glass achieves its rich color through a surface
What is Red Painted Glass?
Red painted glass—also known as back-painted glass, lacquered glass, or opaque glass—is a decorative flat glass produced by applying a durable coating to one surface of high-quality float glass. The coating, which can be a high-performance lacquer or a ceramic frit, is applied using precision techniques and then cured through a baking or heat-treating process to permanently bond it to the glass surface.
Unlike body-tinted glass, where color is achieved by adding pigments throughout the glass melt, red painted glass starts with clear or ultra-clear float glass and adds the color as a surface layer. This results in a brilliant, highly reflective, and uniformly opaque finish that cannot be achieved with tinted glass. The coating is applied to the back surface, meaning the glass is viewed from the uncoated side—protecting the paint from scratches, wear, and environmental damage.
Red painted glass is produced using clear or ultra-clear low-iron float glass substrates, ensuring a bright red appearance with minimal color distortion. The glass can be finished with either a glossy or matte appearance. The paint is resistant to humidity, making it ideal for use in high-moisture environments such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between red painted glass and red tinted (body-tinted) float glass?
A: Red painted glass starts with clear or ultra-clear float glass and has a durable coating applied to the back surface, creating a brilliant, opaque, and highly reflective red finish. The color is on the surface and is viewed through the clear glass, which protects the paint from damage. Red painted glass is 100% opaque and offers superior color brilliance and consistency. Body-tinted red glass would have color pigments mixed throughout the glass melt, resulting in a translucent rather than opaque appearance. Painted glass is the preferred choice for applications requiring full opacity and a bright, reflective red finish. The depth of color provided by red painted glass creates a striking visual impact that captures the eye.
Q2: Can red painted glass be used outdoors and what coating type is recommended?
A: Yes, red painted glass can be used for exterior applications including spandrel glazing, facade cladding, and curtain walls. For exterior use, KINGSTAR BUILDING GLASS recommends ceramic frit coating, which is fused to the glass at high temperature and provides superior resistance to scratching, chipping, peeling, fading, and chemical attack. Ceramic frit coatings are also UV-stable and weather-resistant, ensuring long-lasting performance. For interior applications, high-performance lacquer coatings provide brilliant color and humidity resistance.
Q3: Can red painted glass be tempered, laminated, or used in insulating glass units?
A: No, lacquered painted glass cannot be tempered because the organic coating decomposes and carbonizes at the high temperatures required for tempering. However, laminating and insulating glass unit fabrication are possible. The painted glass can be laminated with PVB or SGP interlayers and can also be used in insulating glass units, with the painted surface facing the cavity to protect the coating. All cutting, drilling, and other processing must be completed before painting, as no further fabrication is possible after the coating is applied.
Back painted glass is a unique use of glass that has been growing in popularity in recent years. It is essentially exactly what it sounds like- glass that has been painted on the back side. That way, from the front side, the glass is no longer translucent, but instead a solid color.
Thickness: 3mm 4mm 5mm 6mm
size: 1830*2440, 3300*2140mm
The applications for back painted glass vary widely and it is commonly used in both residential and commercial buildings. One of the main uses of back painted glass is simply as a design element. Glass has always added a unique look in any building project which usually translates to a sleek, modern appearance. Back painted glass takes this one step further in that the cool, hard surface remains, but color is added to match any palette.
