RETHINKING SPACES WITH BACKPAINTED GLASS
Backpainted glass isn’t just for offices anymore. How can we get our designers to think outside the box and use backpainted glass in spaces that allow it to reach its full potential? Not only does glass become a bacteria-resistant, easy-to-clean, writable solution, but it can become the canvas of your choice. Remember, the sky’s the limit, so yes, glassfitsintoyourspace.Helpyourcustomerdiscoverhow. Moreonpage4
