Abstract:
Method for producing glass tiles, glass borders, ornamental panels made from glass or the like, the rear side of which is structured to form a relief, comprising:trimming a glass slab to a desired size, applying an adhesive layer on predetermined regions forming a pattern or a motif on the rear side of said glass slab by means of a printing technique, depositing a powder coating that resists high temperatures on the rear side of said glass slab and removing excess powder from non-adhesive regions of said glass slab, positioning said glass slab with its coated rear side on a base that resists high temperatures and is provided with a parting agent, submitting said glass slab to a temperature treatment until plastic deformation is achieved, said glass slab sinking into said pattern or motif formed by said powder coating on account of its own weight, and removing said high temperature resisting powder from said regions covered with said pattern or said motif once said glass slab has cooled down.
