Ceramic Fritted Glass
When architects and façade engineers look for clean, seamless, and beautifully concealed exterior surfaces, Ceramic Printed Glass—especially 8+8mm spandrel glass—stands out as a top choice. Its exceptional durability, superior privacy, and diverse design possibilities make it a perfect match for high-end curtain wall systems.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about spandrel glass panels, including features, specifications, applications, purchasing steps, and FAQs to help you choose the right product for your project.
What is Spandrel Glass (Spandrel Ceramic Printed Glass)
Spandrel glass refers to the opaque or non-transparent glass installed between floors in a curtain wall system to hide structural components, insulation, mechanical elements, and wiring.
The opacity is typically achieved using a ceramic frit coating—fused permanently onto the glass surface during the tempering process—creating a durable, fade-resistant finish that maintains its color for decades.
When fabricated as an 8+8mm laminated spandrel glass panel, it offers:
- Higher impact strength
- Greater uniformity
- Enhanced thermal performance
- Long-lasting aesthetic consistency
Spandrel ceramic printed glass is now widely used not only for functional concealment but also for creative architectural expressions.

Features for Spandrel Glass Details
Spandrel glass manufactured with ceramic frit technology offers several outstanding features:
✔ Excellent Opacity
The ceramic frit provides a uniform opaque appearance, effectively concealing the building’s internal structure.
✔ UV & Weather Resistance
The printed ceramic layer is permanently bonded to the glass, ensuring superior resistance to:
- UV radiation
- Humidity
- Extreme temperature fluctuations
✔ High Safety Performance
When laminated or tempered, spandrel glass provides enhanced strength and minimizes risk upon breakage.
✔ Color Stability
Ceramic pigments are baked onto the glass at over 600°C, ensuring the color will not fade or peel over time.
✔ Wide Customization Options
Customize according to:
- Opacity levels
- Color codes (RAL, Pantone, custom shades)
- Patterns and digital ceramic printing designs
- Glass thickness combinations (6+6mm, 8+8mm, 10+10mm, etc.)
✔ Superior Compatibility
Perfect for modern façade systems, window wall systems, commercial buildings, hotels, shopping complexes, airports, and institutional structures.

FAQs for Order Spandrel Glass Panel
For a first-time cooperation, we are happy to provide free samples for simple products such as clear tempered glass and clear laminated glass to support our initial collaboration. However, we are unable to cover the shipping costs. We hope both sides can share some of the expenses from a partnership perspective. If this order and project move forward and we work together in the future, these costs can be fully deducted from our formal cooperation.
Absolutely. We support small projects, prototypes, and highly customized designs.
Yes, we do offer door-to-door service. We can arrange it according to your location, and the exact cost and lead time will be confirmed based on the destination and shipping method you prefer.
For tempered glass and standard laminated glass, we generally offer a 5-year warranty. For higher-performance glass, such as insulated glass, Low-E glass, and coated glass, we typically provide a 10-year warranty.
Please note: As glass is inherently fragile, there is always a risk of breakage during transportation. Even for tempered glass, despite our use of high-quality raw glass from XYG, CSG, and PPG, and processing with advanced tempering furnaces from NorthGlass and LandGlass, there is still an approximate 0.2% risk of spontaneous breakage. If any damage occurs, we will do our best to assist you in minimizing the loss.
Vision glass is transparent and used for viewing, while spandrel glass is opaque and used to hide building elements behind the façade.
Absolutely. Laminated glass provides enhanced impact resistance and holds fragments together if broken, making it suitable for high-rise applications.
Upon request, we can supply compatible gaskets, brackets, and aluminum profiles for your system.
Standard production takes 10–20 days, depending on quantity and customization.
