Firemolded Glass or fused/melted glass is a type of glass that is created by melting different pieces of glass together in a kiln at high temperatures, typically between 1200°F and 1700°F. The glass can be fused together in a variety of ways, such as layering, shaping, and molding, to create unique and intricate designs.
One of the main benefits of using fused glass is its versatility in terms of design. Fused glass can be made into a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors, making it a popular choice for decorative items such as wall art, and glass decor. Additionally, fused glass is durable and long-lasting, making it a great choice for applications in high traffic areas like reception areas, commercial or hospitality spaces.
Because fused glass can be used in indoor or outdoor situations it is often used in architectural applications such as windows, doors, and skylights due to its ability to transmit light while still providing privacy and insulation.
Firemolded glass is an environmentally friendly choice. Because it is made from recycled glass, it is an eco-friendly option that reduces waste and conserves natural resources. Additionally, the manufacturing process for fused glass requires less energy than traditional glass-making techniques, further reducing its environmental impact.
