The Dunes glass line is produced from high quality, heavy duty, construction grade glass, which is usually used for commercial windows in high-rise office buildings and hotels. The first step in the process to make Dunes is the coloring of the glass. The coloring consists of color pigments mixed with metal oxides that are applied on one side of the glass sheets using a screening process that applies an evenly distributed layer across the entire surface. After completely air-drying, the larger sheets are then cut to their final size. Those pieces are then transferred to the appropriately sized kiln plates and fired at 1,472-1,580°F. The time for firing varies from 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the glass.

*Painted-back glass should not be installed in applications where it is exposed to extreme heat. This includes interior walls behind industrial stove tops, or outdoor, direct sunlight applications. Outdoor installations, not in direct sunlight as well as applications at the waterline of a pool where the tile is partially submerged in water, are acceptable. Extreme heat exposure will cause discoloration of the tile and potential sheering of the bond between the tile and paint, due to expansion/contraction.
