Glass meets colour - Scott Street Apartments

Think painted glass, think a splashback? Think again. Painted glass is finding itself in a whole host of other projects and locations thanks to innovative thinking.

Painted glass is now being used in an increasing range of designer applications, such as kitchens, sliding wardrobes, feature panels, bathroom wall panels, vanity tops, table tops, entry door and furniture, commercial uses, graphic back glass, spandrel panels on buildings, receptions and foyers.

Painted spandrel panels are a growing market and an effective way to add colour to a building exterior in a creative new way. Shown here are painted spandrel panels in Resene Astral (floaty blue).

Brisbane’s most exclusive apartment development, the ultra-luxury Scott Street Apartments at Kangaroo Point, not only have frameless shower screens and painted glass including splashbacks and mirrors to enhance the superlative interiors but they are also home to a unique feature wall around the swimming pool using toughened mirror and painted glass panels.

GCP Paints, manufactured by Resene, are exclusively used for these painted glass projects and a myriad of other projects completed by Safa Glass up and down the East Coast. With thousands of Resene colours to choose from, the only limit is the designer's imagination about what colour and glass to put where.
