RESIN STAINED GLASS Creative Resins offer an inexpensive alternative to traditional stained glass with our more automated systems. Our resin outlines and infill colours are extremely versatile and can be used in a multitude of applications such as windows, doors, interiors for restaurants, Mosques, private villas as well as novelty items such as sun catchers, decorative mirrors and decorative partitions. These resins allow you to combine resin stained glass with silk screening, sandblasting, bevels and other forms of decorative work. The choice of design and colour is extensive.

The resin outlines come in a variety of different colours including : Silver, White, Glassline, Black, Leaded light and Gold

Black

Leaded light

Gold

White

Glassline

All of our resin outlines carry a minimum 10 year external guarantee against UV fading, cracking or peeling whatever climate the glass is in. Anything that can be drawn by hand can now be recreated onto glass using the stained glass resins. As the resins are so versatile they can also be applied to ceramic, stainless steel, wood, aluminium and acrylic/plexiglass.

RESIN STAINED GLASS ......

Glassline our transparent outline can be plotted

directly onto the glass giving an effect which looks like brilliant cut glass. It can have a colour added to it transforming it into any colour outline - ideal for the sign industry as company logos can be plotted in any shade. When plotting onto sandblasted glass, Glassline will make the sandblasted area transparent, ideal for shower doors

COLOUR INFILL

A unique blend of high density organic pigments which offer excellent light fastness. Incorporated with a specially formulated acrylic resin the pigments give outstanding durability together with excellent chemical resistance, total flexibility and unparalleled UV stability. As all the pigments are inter mixable they provide an infinite colour range with options to marble or texture giving complete freedom of design. The colour system is simple to use, quick drying and permanent.

The colour pigments are available in red, ruby red, white, brown, black, cerise, violet, yellow, green, blue and metallic finishes - gold, silver and copper.

Various depths of colour can be achieved by adding smaller or larger amounts of colour pigment to the colouring system as seen on the colour chart above.

A wide range of textures and finishes are available to compliment the colour pigments. Crackle effects can be achieved using crazy base and a textured glass finish can be achieved using the stipple effect.

5

Additional Finishes METALLURE

Metallure is a unique process which gives an antique effect to the resin outline.

Metallure is applied after the resin outline has been plotted and is available in brass or chrome. Once the process is completed, the resin is turned into a fabulous deep lustre - ideal for bespoke panels or interior designers wanting to offer different effects.

DEEP SANDBLASTING

The colour infill and pigments can be used to colour deep sandblasted panels creating a beautiful shaded effect on the glass unrivalled by other pigments as seen on the right.

Any colour pigment can be placed onto glass to create a permanent bond with no colour fading.

The resins can be placed onto float or toughened/tempered glass. The design opportunities are endless as is the colour range and special effects. No panel is too big or too small to create a unique design on.

Signage, Furniture, Aluminium, Wood, Acrylic - the possibilities are endless

6

Creating Stained Glass by Hand The resin outlines can be applied by hand using an application bottle. The bottle kit is an inexpensive introduction to the world of decorative glass. It contains everything required to make stained glass panels simply and easily by following the step by step pictorial instructions supplied with the kit.

Any design can be created free hand or traced over an existing outline drawing under the glass.

Straight lines can be drawn using a bridged ruler.

Thick lines can be achieved by simply increasing the opening of the bottle or by having a small opening you can produce thinner lines. The starter bottle kit is ideal for the hobbyist or for companies looking to market resin stained glass before going into full production.

Creating Stained Glass by Pump The hand held Resiflo pump is the very latest in advanced technology designed specifically to enable anyone to create decorative panels on various surfaces. A design can be drawn freehand or traced over. Controlled by it’s own microchip processor this 200-240V system is regulated down to a 12V supply to the motor, making it very safe and easy to use.

The resins are placed in containers on the top of the pump - one for base and one for the hardener. Once the operation button is pressed it releases the resins into the pump where they enter into a tube connected to a hand held ‘pump pen’.

This hand held pen can be moved around by the operator tracing over the lines (or drawing freehand) whilst the resin is dispensing onto the glass. The operator then releases the operation button when they want the resin to stop dispensing. The thickness of the bead width can also be controlled by reducing or increasing the speed of the pump.

7

The Resin Wizard The semi automated machines allow for the perfect panel to be produced at the touch of a button creating resin stained glass in a fraction of the production time needed for traditional stained glass or lead and film. The machines are made in the UK and shipped worldwide.

Advantages of semi automated machinery: Consistent quality of panels Shorter production times Reduced labour costs Design potential is limitless Lifetime warranty on pumps Quick change of outline colour Greater accuracy of resin flow

All machines include a dispensing pump, CE certification, 2 years parts warranty, Creative Studio Software including costings’ facility, CD Rom of 700+ ready to run designs, emergency stop switches, instruction manual, free training in the UK, input voltage 110/220V single phase, heavy duty linear guide rails with maintenance free self adjusting bearings, computer to run the machine.

Unlike true granite, the granite Spraycoat is non porous and more cost effective to produce and install. Ideal for kitchen splashbacks and work surfaces.

COBWEB

Cobweb is supplied clear and can have any colour pigment added to it to create a crazy string effect on the glass leaving a marbled finish. This can be backed with any colour required with the most popular being black, white or grey. Cobweb is a totally unique finish as no two panels are ever the same.

SATIN SPRAY

LUMIGLASS

The new satin spray leaves a sandblasted effect on the glass making it ideal for partitions, shower screens, entrance doors or security glass. Unlike sandblasted glass, satin spray will not be affected by oily finger prints. Satin spray comes pre mixed ready to start spraying.

Lumiglass is our glow spray paint - when a finished panel is left in a light filled room and the lights go off - the lumiglass starts to work and glows making it ideal for emergency signage.

11

Spraycoat Special Effects SPARKLES & RAINBOW SPARKLE

The metallic sparkle effects are ideal for leisure premises such as restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Sparkles also work well in glass flooring and partitions. Rainbow sparkle gives the glass a rainbow colour effect as light hits it. The effect changes as you walk past the panel giving off different colours. Rainbow can be used with our other effects such as cobweb to offer a unique finish.

CRACKLE EFFECT

MIRROR CHROME SPRAY Mirror Chrome spray can turn any plain piece of glass or non porous surface into a mirror finish using a spray gun. Whereas tempered/toughened glass cannot be silvered, Mirror Chrome can turn glass as thick as 12mm+ into a mirror finish.

Easy to spray and no wastage, Mirror Chrome has opened up new horizons for users in the sign industry and interior designers as whole pieces of glass now do not have to be mirrored creating unique finishes to designers delight.

As Mirror Chrome can go straight onto toughened glass, mirror finishes can now be used more widely in public areas which have strict health and safety guidelines on the thickness of glass used. Mirror Chrome on toughened glass reduces the number of breakages. No piece is too big or too small to mirror.

CANCOTE

Mirror spray is now available in an aerosol can for those customers who do not have a spray booth or are just looking at repairing mirrors or mirroring smaller areas. Cancote is ideal as it can be taken on site to repair a scratched mirror. It can also be sprayed onto acrylic.

LAMINATING RESINS Our laminating resins are a crystal clear transparent resin designed to remain water clear even when catalysed. They do not yellow and allow expansion of 300/350%. These resins are exceptionally tough and suffer minimal shrinkage, they provide excellent water resistance with virtually nil absorption. With an exceptionally low viscosity, similar to water, the laminating resin is extremely easy to use, allowing easy flow and fast bubble release.

The laminating resins can be used conventionally as a cold pour system as above using the traditional jug and funnel method or it can be mixed and dispensed automatically using a pump system with virtually no wastage.

The resins contain a specially adapted adhesion promoter that remains dormant until the addition of the catalyst allowing for easy transportation worldwide.

A full range of transparent colours are available - all of which can be mixed together to create any shade or effect from opaques to translucents. All colours are UV stable providing long term, high gloss finishes. Laminating resins are ideal for premises which require a glass exterior whilst at the same time need to minimise sound transmission.

Plaspaint is a hard wearing unique coating for composite doors and frames. Plaspaints allow complete colour design for a house/building. Years ago the colours for doors were very limited, Plaspaint has revolutionised the market allowing any colour to be sprayed onto PVC or GRP doors and frames. Plaspaint can be used not only on UPVC but also on aluminum and fibreglass to create any colour you require.

Plaspaint is available as a gloss or matt finish as well as a textures finish. It can be sprayed using an industrial spray gun however we do recommend the Devilbiss GTI Pro.

Plaspaint is available as an in-house mixing system or for customers who are looking to only transform a few frames we do offer a premix system. Simply give us the colour you are looking for and we will send you a premixed colour - ready to start spraying.

TruStain The UPVC industry suffers problems when customers want wood grain effects as there is such a lead time on them, causing fabricators a headache as these are usually laminates. With TruStain we can expand the choice offered to the customer.

Unlike cellular PVC and some composites, TruStain is not sensitive to heat build up. TruStain’s proven heat reflective characteristics produce the lowest possible heat build up, thus protecting the UPVC from distortion and minimising fading significantly. The life of these finishes are comparative with any ‘maintenance free’ expectation.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

PSimple, fast, repeatable but not a pattern PEnjoy the performance of vinyl with the look of wood PDesigned for both interior and exterior application POn - site touch ups are easy PCan be used on areas larger than profiles

Existing staining methods are not designed to create one single homogeneous protective layer, thus they compromise the finishes future performance as well as requiring a lengthy process due to long drying times between process steps. TruStain however is a water based, heat reflective process. It has an ultra low VOC but maintains a high performance with a total processing time of 30 minutes. Trustain dramatically reduces labour and lead times.

The Process for doors:

Step one: Degrease and normalise the surface to ensure an exceptional bond using our TruStain cleaner and degreaser.

Step two: Grain filling with TruStan GrainEx. This fills the grain to get enhanced ‘grain pop’. The long open time and ‘rewetable’ formulation gives the user sufficient time to create the desired look even in recessed portions of the surface. Use a sponge to force GrainEx into the grains. Then remove as much or as little of the GrainEx from the flat portions of the surface depending upon the desired look.

Step Three: Staining and Protecting with TruStain Tinted Top Coat.

By combining the staining and the top coating into one step, time is reduced and the potential for any reaction between a stain layer and a subsequent ‘clear coat’ layer is eliminated.

CRYSTALLITE Crystallite is a revolutionary resin bevel system that allows mass production of superior quality resin bevels time and time again. Crystallite bevels can be made into any size unit using our patented mould system. A special range of colours can also be added to individual bevels or bevel clusters creating beautiful panels without the necessity of volume screen printing.

If you need to produce a 1000 pieces or just a few, Creative Resins have a system to suit your requirements and your budget. Our systems allow for minimal staffing and minimal moulds are required as our moulds are of a solid construction so do not require overnight heating or cleaning.

With Crystallite there is no requirement for obscure backing glass as this effect can be produced in the Crystallite panel.

Crystallite offers a unique dry surface so finished panels will not get contaminated by finger-prints or dust. The resin-bevelled panels can be stored in an upright position as soon as they have been produced. Sealed units become much easier to make as there are no handling issues and the resin bevels can be made into any size cavity unit at your convenience.

Contour resin can be added at any time after production to create individual panels simulating adhesive lead strip.
