SPANDREL

Spandrel glass is used in a façade to conceal areas between floors of a building. It is applied by producing an opacifying agent, which is typically a silicone-based paint material or ceramic frit, which come in a wide variety of colours to compliment adjacent glass. Due to heightened thermal stress, all spandrel products required heat treatment. Spandrel glass is not intended for use in applications that lack a uniform and opaque backdrop or in areas where it will have direct outdoor exposure.
