| Heat-Treated Restoration Window Glass: Through a special process, regular window glass is reheated up to its softening point. The sheet of glass then loses its surface flatness and begins to exhibit a slightly wavy characteristic reminiscent of blown glass. Also during this time, the sheet of glass begins to show mild surface imperfections that add a bit of a seedy look. The outcome is a modified glass that is a very good representation of old world restoration window glass. |

 When period authenticity is not a requirement, yet the “old world” look is desired and economy is a consideration, Retroverre™ is a clear choice. Made from a proprietary process that infuses tiny pits in the surface of a highly polished glass, Retroverre™ conveys the illusion of old glass. Retroverre™ offers the highest yield with its non directional distortion with the added advantage that the distortion is noticeable even in small pieces. Ideal for kitchen cabinet glass, old clocks, furniture, and lighting fixtures. Available in 3mm (1/8”) thickness, Retroverre™ can only be tempered in special circumstances by the manufacturer. |
