Gray glass is an ideal material to achieve a complete black effect on a vast landscape, gray glass has always attracted much attention! Today, we have gathered some commonly asked questions from our customers and are pleased to share them with you.

Question 1: What are the available thickness of gray glass?

The common thicknesses of gray glass ranges from 0.7mm to 6.0mm, or even thicker. However, due to quality & stability issues, not all gray glass is suitable to be used as a coverglass.

Through our stringent testing & evaluations, we have ascertained the below thicknesses in production to be reliable:

1.8mm, 2.1mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm

We are currently in the process of sourcing stable, mass-produced materials for additional thicknesses. We will keep you updated on any new developments at the earliest opportunity.

Question 2: Can the transmittance of gray glass be adjusted?

The answer is no.

The characteristics of color and light transmittance in gray glass are dictated by the inherent properties of the material. The transmittance levels for various thicknesses of gray glass in use today are established & fixed.

The detailed specifications are as follows:

ThicknessTransmittanc(550nm)
1.8mm40%±3
2.1mm41.5%±3
3.0mm28%±5
4.0mm20%±3

Question 3: Can gray glass be treated with Anti-Glare (AG) treatment?

Can!

The surface of gray glass can be treated with etched AG or sprayed AG, which can effectively prevent glare and maintain a high-quality appearance.

Question 4: Can gray glass be treated with Anti-Fingerprint (AF) to prevent fingerprints?

Can!

The gray glass following the application of AF treatment exhibits not only an effective anti-fingerprint property but also offers a smoother and more comfortable tactile experience. Its use is highly recommended.

Question 5: Can gray glass be treated with Anti-Reflective (AR)?

Not recommended!

Due to the properties of gray glass, AR treatment has a minimal impact on enhancing transmittance and thus AR has negligible impact.

Question 6: Can gray glass be printed with white color?

Yes, but not recommended!

The application of white printing results in minimal visible impact from the front, leading to reduced practicality.

For printing purposes, we suggest the following solution:

Border color: A black border is advisable and can be adjusted based on specific requirements.

LOGO or other designs: We recommend using silver or semi-transparent black, as this option provides both subtlety and clarity. Alternatively, you may opt not to print.
