Re-View runs into situations where it is desired to block out all light from entering the window system. We utilize spandrel glass in applications such as elevator shafts, basements, and multi-level monumental windows that span several floors. Re-View can use spandrel in a host of colors to match the design of your project.

Offered monolithically, in insulating units, or as laminated glass, spandrel glass is typically specified for buildings' nonvision areas to mask construction materials. Even refurbished buildings covered in a combination of vision and spandrel glass can appear to be constructed entirely of glass. Re-View offers two types of spandrel:

Ceramic Frit

Available in a variety of colors to harmonize or contrast with the vision area, the ceramic frit is applied to the #2 surface of the glass. Ceramic enamel frits contain finely ground glass mixed with inorganic pigments to produce a desired color. The coated glass is then heated to about 1,150°F, fusing the frit to the glass surface, which produces a ceramic coating almost as hard and tough as the glass itself. A fired ceramic frit is durable and resists scratching, chipping, peeling, fading and chemical attacks.

Silicone Paint

Opaci-Coat-300® silicone paint is a water-based, elastomeric coating that provides optimal glass opacification. Applied without heat during the final stage of the spandrel fabrication process, Opaci-Coat-300® can be used with equal effectiveness on annealed glass (interior only) or heat-treated glass. Opaci-Coat-300® creates a rubberlike film when applied to glass, and, when specified, may satisfy criteria for fallout protection without the need for taping or the application of scrim films.
