What can you do with coloured glass?

There have been many advances in glass technology over the past few years, and different colours and finished have become available. This means that designers can let their creativity run riot as they come up with ways to make your home look on-trend and up market.

Modern glass techniques make glass one of the most versatile materials to work with, and it’s affordability also helps to make it a popular choice with architects and designers alike. The fact that it can be coloured in so many attractive shades means that there’s a shade for just about every domestic or commercial project.

The back-painted glass process (BPG) has created a great new material for anyone to introduce into their home which can be coloured to match their existing décor â€" your imagination is your only limit when you’re working with coloured glass.

What are RAL colours?

RAL glass colours are simply a name for the different shades which glass may be coloured to from a standard palette. To see which colours are available from Lothian Glass, just check our colour sheet here:
