New patterns
14th November 2017

Two new patterns, Cassini and Tribal are being added to the PILKINGTON Texture Glass range.

Cassini, pictured, features a multi-layered effect resulting in a design said to be ‘influenced by the mosaics of Barcelona’, achieved by engraving the roller, which marks the pattern onto the glass during the manufacturing process.

Tribal has a hand-drawn finish ‘inspired by Aztec patterns’, created using traditional hand-engraving methods when creating the roller.

Ian Bateson, specialist in hand-etching, said: “Hand-etching is a dying art in this country, with so many patterns relying on computer aided design these days. I’ve been helping create textured glass with Pilkington for over 40 years and I’m proud that this traditional, hand-drawn method is still making its way into the manufacturing of new products.”

Leo Pyrah, texture glass product manager at Pilkington, added: “Working with leading trend forecasters, we’ve created two new contemporary and stylish patterns that complement our existing range.”

Pilkington Texture Glass offers 21 designs ranging from traditional to contemporary.
