Solarized architectural glass information


Single pane of historic solarized architectural glass, removed from its frame.

Solarized architectural glass is a type of architectural glass, used as a building material, that has changed color as a result of a chemical reaction between a glass decolorizer and ultra-violet light (a process known as solarization). Sometimes known as "desert glass", or "sun-purpled glass", solarized glass is most commonly observed as bottles and glassware.[1] However, solarized glass does occasionally appear in architectural contexts and uses, especially window panes, doorknobs, and pavement lights. The physical characteristics and the relative rarity of this glass for windows has meant that it is understood as a distinct glass type.
