Architects' Guide to Glass & MetalViracon Expands Viraspan Standard Silk-Screen Pattern Offering

Viracon, an architectural glass fabricator, has expanded its Viraspan Design standard silk-screen patterns to include 14 different designs.

The Viraspan silk-screen pattern offering now includes 14 standard patterns. The eight patterns in the "lines" series and six patterns in the "dots and holes" series offer a range of coverage from 20 to 60 percent. After selecting a pattern, customers can choose from 14 standard ceramic frit colors or incorporate a custom frit color to create a tailored look.

Through the Viraspan Design-Plus program, clients can select a standard pattern but define specific orientation requirements. The Viraspan Design-Original program allows clients to design a custom pattern, border and graduation.

Viracon recommends incorporating both the silk-screen pattern and solar-controlling coating on the same surface. This allows both the ceramic frit and all of the company's coatings, such as VRE or VNE, to be applied to the number two surface of an insulating unit for optimum solar performance, along with glare reduction and light-play. Sealed air space protects the ceramic frit and coating for easy maintenance while maintaining a position as close to the sun as possible for maximum effectiveness.
