Contra Vision XR Ceramic

Contra Vision XR Ceramic, screen printed fritted glass for architectural projects

Contra Vision XR Ceramic is manufactured by screen printing on glass a pattern (usually dots) of ceramic frit, creating fritted glass. The dots are a different color when seen from each side of the glass, which produces a one-way vision effect.

Great view-through

From inside, the dots appear black to allow the best possible and most natural see-through. Contra Vision’s patented exact registration printing ensures that each color is only visible from one side of the glass.
