Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005080281A1] A method for applying a pattern (10) to a glass panel for simulating a Georgian style lattice window comprises applying a surface coating composition to form bands (14, 15) of the pattern (10) by airless spraying through a nozzle (20). The surface coating composition comprises a mineral based ink of the type suitable for ceramics applications which is provided in powder form of particle sizes in the range of 1 micron to 7.6 microns. The mineral based ink is mixed with a liquid solvent for agglomerating the particles, and colour pigment is added as appropriate. The surface coating composition is applied to an inner surface (11) of the glass panel (3) to a depth of approximately 200 microns to form the bands (14, 15), although the surface coating composition may be applied up to a depth of 1,200 microns. The surface coating composition of the bands (14, 15) is then dried, and the panel (3) is then toughened at a toughening temperature of the order of 700 °C for a time period of approximately one and a half minutes, which also causes the surface coating composition forming the pattern (10) to fuse to the glass.
