Colorful glass (also known as dichroic glass/rainbow coated glass) is a functional decorative glass that achieves dynamic color changing effects through a special optical coating process. Its core definition and characteristics are as follows:
1、 Basic Definition
• Optical characteristics
The surface is covered with a nano level metal oxide coating, which presents a gradient effect of five main colors including orange, green, blue, red, and yellow under different viewing angles and lighting conditions (such as changes in solar incidence angle) through the principle of light interference;
Color changes have dynamic fluidity, creating a dreamy atmosphere of light and shadow.
• Essence of Structure
Made from ultra white glass as the substrate through coating or laminating processes, it can enhance functionality through composite processes such as tempering, lamination, and hollowing.

Application value |
|
Dynamic color change |
High/low refractive index metal oxide film layer (thickness tolerance ± 3nm) |
Artistic Space Decoration |
|
High durability |
High hardness, scratch resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance |
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, with a long lifespan |
|
Environmental protection and safety |
No fading, no solvent residue (high-quality craftsmanship) |
Compliant with environmental standards for building materials |
|
Function expansion |
Composite tempered laminated (impact resistance ↑), hollow (insulation ↑) |
Adapt to building safety requirements |
注Note: Other names include lightwave glass, optical thin film glass, iridescent glass, etc.
3、 Process classification
• Film clamping process
Double layer glass clip with 100+layers of PVB iridescent resin film, low cost;
• Surface crystal plating
Single piece glass coated with metal oxide coating for high color accuracy;
• Vacuum magnetron sputtering
Nano scale film deposition (accuracy ± 3nm), preferred for high-end customization.
4、 Typical application scenarios
Architectural decoration: dynamic light and shadow facades (such as Apple's Fifth Avenue store);
Interior design: artistic partitions, background walls (color changes with movement);
Functional composite: energy-saving curtain wall (hollow+colorful coating, insulation performance increased by 40%).
Summary of Definition Points: A special functional glass with optical interference color changing as its core, combining decorative, durable, and environmentally friendly properties.

GLASS ENCYCLOPEDIA
Can frosted glass be cleaned with wet wipes?
→ Okay! Recommend using glass cleaner and fish scale cloth to avoid scratching the matte layer with hard objects.
How to choose between single-sided frosted and double-sided frosted?
→Single sided frosted (smooth surface facing inward) is easier to clean; Double sided frosted provides stronger privacy.
Will frosted glass reduce light transmittance?
→ It will decrease by about 20% -40%, and the ultra white glass substrate can reduce the loss of light transmission.
