Spandrel glass is an opaque panel mainly used in non-vision sections of curtain walls. The panels are located between sections of transparent windows and hide the structural parts that shouldn’t be seen from the exterior. Spandrel glass is produced by applying an opacifying agent - typically a ceramic frit - to a glass substrate. Spandrel glass comes in a wide array of standard and customizable colors, allowing it to complement adjacent glass or other building materials or finishes aesthetically. Because spandrel glass tends to exhibit higher heat absorption characteristics, AJJ requires that all spandrel products be heat treated to address heightened thermal stress conditions that could adversely affect glass and window seal durability. Spandrel glass is not intended for use in applications that lack a uniform, opaque backdrop or in areas where the spandrel material will have direct outdoor exposure.

Wall cladding
The ceramic coating is applied on face #2 on the supporting lite of glass.
* The glass must be heat-strengthened or fully tempered. It is not recommended to expose the ceramic coating to the elements. Use on an external face should be avoided.
The ceramic coating can be applied on face # 2, 3, or 4 of laminated glass.
* All the glass plies that make up the laminated glazing should be heat-strengthened or fully tempered for exterior applications.
The ceramic coating is applied on face #4 of the insulated glass unit.
* The two lines that make up the unit should be heat-strengthened or fully tempered.
*Certain conditions apply. Contact us for more information.

The Australian/New Zealand standard for safety glazing materials assesses the impact resistance of tempered glass. It classifies glass based on the drop height required to break it and provides guidelines for its use in different applications.
