CAworks Glass Techniques

Techniques

The art and science behind every piece of CAworks architectural glass.

Gold Leaf / Verre Églomisé

Verre églomisé is the ancient art of applying metallic leaf and paint to the reverse side of glass. We apply natural and designer textures using centuries-old gilding techniques refined for modern architectural applications.

The result is glass panels with extraordinary depth, warmth, and luminosity — where light interacts with gold or silver leaf to create surfaces that shift and glow throughout the day.

Available in genuine gold leaf, silver leaf, copper leaf, and composite metallic finishes. Each piece is handcrafted to ensure a unique, organic character.

Backlighting Technique

Backlighting

Precision LED integration creates luminous glass surfaces that serve as dramatic interior focal points. Our backlighting systems are engineered for even light distribution, colour temperature control, and long-term reliability.

We integrate edge-lit, rear-lit, and gradient illumination systems depending on the glass type, thickness, and desired visual effect. Compatible with smart lighting controls, RGBW colour mixing, and DMX/DALI protocols.

UV Photopolymerization

UV Photopolymerization uses ultraviolet light to cure photosensitive resins, transforming them from liquid to solid. This process enables high-detail glass printing with exceptional colour accuracy, durability, and resistance to environmental factors.

The resin contains photoinitiators that absorb UV light, generating reactive species that trigger rapid polymerization. The result is a permanent, scratch-resistant print bonded directly to the glass surface.

Ideal for photographic reproductions, brand graphics, decorative patterns, and any application requiring sub-millimetre precision on glass.
