Lacquered Glass from Saint-Gobain is manufactured by depositing and baking a lacquer coating on one side of the base glass, usually clear glass. The lacquer gives it a coloured and opaque appearance, bringing an element of vibrancy to any interior application. Unlike Back Painted Glass (BPG) available in the market, the lacquered finish protects the glass from damage, making it highly durable. Lacquered glass contains low volatile organic compounds, and therefore is not only safe to use but also does not harm the environment. It is humidity-resistant and also scratch-proof.
