ICON-GLASS - Frequently Asked Questions.

Since launching our ICON-GLASS range of digitally printed glass splashbacks, wall art and radiators we are regularly asked a number of similar questions relating to this exciting product.

We have therefore produced the following list of answers to the most frequently asked questions on ICON-GLASS: 

How much does it cost? 

For a quote, please contact our team with the required dimensions.

What are the minimum & maximum sizes?

We can digitally print onto peices of glass as small as 150mm x 100mm right upto as big as 2500mm x 1500mm. You can also place multiple peices/panels next to each other for a larger overall size.

Can holes/cut outs be included?

Of course, depending on the size of the glass panel, cut outs and drilled holes can be included for additional costs. 

Is the glass toughened?

Yes, ICON-GLASS is produced using high quality toughened low iron glass, with all edges polished.

When using ICON-GLASS as a kitchen splashback, how far away from the hobs does it need to be?

Glass splashbacks made from standard glass should be kept at least 150mm away from a heat source. However we use toughened glass, which can be placed directly behind a heat source with no problems.

How is ICON-GLASS fitted?

ICON-GLASS can be placed using a simple mirror bond/adhesive. Tubes of this can be added to your order if required.

Do you provide a templating or fitting?

At this moment in time, we don't. However, each ICON-GLASS project is different so please contact our team directly to discuss this further.

What are the delivery/lead times?

ICON-GLASS is produced to order. We aim for a complete turnaround of 4 weeks. It could be faster, however this is the timeframe we set ourselves.

If you have any further questions that you believe haven't been asked or answered above, please feel free to add them in the comments section of this blog post.

Christmas is almost upon us! (Sort of...)

"Where did the year go?!" We hear you ask. No idea!

The build up to Christmas is always a busy period here at Glassdomain, which is why we are running out of time to guarantee Christmas deliveries.

Because our luxury curved glass furniture from SOVET and FIAM is imported from Italy, we usually aim for a turnaround time of 6 weeks, which means any orders placed now would not be delivered until the new year.

However! Fear not, because the UV bonded glass furniture we produce here in England is usually delivered within 4 weeks. Therefore, customers who order by Wednesday 23rd November can expect to receive their shiny new glass furniture from Glassdomain before Christmas.

ICON-GLASS splashbacks now on display in our showroom!

Following the expansion of our ICON-GLASS splashbacks offering, we now have a selection of these striking designs on display in our Birmingham showroom.

ICON-GLASS splashbacks are the perfect replacement to tiling, providing a single easy to clean surface. They are also easy to install and maintain.

We have taken a few designs from each of our ICON-GLASS image collections.

The main goal of displaying a selection of splashbacks in our new showroom is to show people the possibilities ICON-GLASS will bring. Our image collections are made up of images we have selected which we feel give the best impact and suit different peoples tastes. If you can't find the design you're looking for, or have your own ideas, we can digitally print your own images onto our6mm low iron toughened glass.

More ICON-GLASS is fitted in the showroom

We have now fitted ICON-GLASS into the display showers and rear entrance hall of our new Birmingham showroom.

ICON-GLASS brings a whole host of new opportunities for architects and designers alike. By combining glass with a unique printing process we are now able to offer a range of products that will revolutionise interior design. ICON-GLASS splashbacks and wall coverings are extremely versatile and will work in almost any environment whether it’s domestic or commercial.

To show the flexibility of ICON-GLASS, we have used very contrasting designs in the two display showers with an underwater image and a classic wallpaper design. The idea of using an underwater scene in the shower was quite an obvious one, whilst using a wallpaper design is to show how we see ICON-GLASS as being an ideal alternative to tiling or wallpaper.

When visiting the showroom, customers entering from the car park will walk through a forest scene, thanks to ICON-GLASS. This eye catching image really showcases the potential of our exciting product.

Using the ICON-GLASS process, customers will be able to have an image of their choice digitally printed onto glass. If you would like to find out more, visit www.icon-glass.co.uk or send our team a quick message.

Furniture gets a trial run in our showroom

An impromptu photoshoot was called yesterday to get some photos which we could use to promote the opening of our new showroom in the press.

It was our first change to see certain items on display for the first time, including iconic peices from Italian design houses Sovet and Fiam. The Ghost Chair, a peice held in very high regard within the furniture industry was unveiled along with Philippe Starck's Caadre Mirror.

Yesterday was also the day we fitted our first peice of ICON-GLASS in the showroom. A local painter provided us with his wonderful Venice painting, which has been enlarged and digitally printed onto glass. We are extremely happy with the outcome and sure this peice of ICON-GLASS will be a big talking point when the showroom opens later this month.
