Abstract
Abstract A decorative glass window product (10) including: (a) a sheet of glass (12); (b) a metal design component (14) in the form of a unitary, pre-cast, reticulated came network (16, 18), the design component (14) being bonded on its inner surface (22) to one side of the sheet of glass (12); and (c) a thin layer of an elastomeric adhesive (24) bonding the design component (14) to the sheet of glass (12). A process for making a decorative glass window product (10) including the steps of: (a) casting a unitary, reticulated metal came network (16, 18); (b) subjecting the reticulated came network (16, 18) to a finishing process wherein the color or finish of the came network is changed; and (c) elastomerically bonding the came network (16, 18) to one side of a continuous sheet of glass (12).
