Our glass silvering
Our silvering process is entirely manual, is done according to the traditional technique with pure silver and a combination of the chemical elements refined by our family. The process takes place in accordance with the normal chemical reaction times between elements which takes the silver to settle. Quantities and chemical agents are wisely chosen not only based on the desired result but also on the characteristics of the agents themselves and the weather conditions that affect the processes.
We silver flat, curved, hollow, cast and brick glass. The mirroring effect is obtained by coating the glass item with silver and other agents, making it react and settle, on the opposite face of the glass. Before and after, glass is pre and post treated to ensure that the reaction works and lasts, for instance by cleaning, washing, applying protective layers, etc.
Our silvering might be tailored to indoor (e.g. furnishing) and outdoor (e.g. outdoor decorations, but also concentrated solar power parabolic dishes) use. We can silver both transparent and colored glass, and we can create a copper tone finish.
Silvering can be combined with other processes, such as sandblasting, decoration with vitrifiable paints, serigraphy or engraving. We can also customise it with decorations, words, phrases, symbols, stylized drawings, using several techniques depending on the desired result.

Our antiqued mirror
Antiqued effect silvering is the silvering done in such a way as to reproduce on glass an ageing effect, in order to obtain antiqued mirror: glass is darker and less reflective in correspondence of the spots.
This typo of processing is used both to meet the taste of customers who desire a vintage item or style, and to restore items that over time have modified their transparency and mirror quality.
SEVAL has refined its own technique for antiquing glass, of which some tasters are given in the gallery below, and that might produce a weak, medium or high intensity antiquing as well as a static or wavy effect.
We might apply this type of silvering both on flat, curved, hollow and fused glass.

Our glass sandblasting
Sandblasting is a technique consisting in glass surface abrasion through an air and sand jet to decorate with drawings, logos and chiaroscuro tones glass items such as vases, mirrors, or panels.
We might apply sandblasting in combination with silvering on flat, curved and hollow glass.
Our sandblasting might suit the need of making glass less transparent, but also of adding creative and design elements to a glass or mirrored item.

Our marble-effect glass
Our marble-effect glass is made using a technique that we have been applying for 60 years and that consists in painting glass with vitrescent paints of two or more colors.
The marble effect might be reproduced on flat glass and on some types of curved glass. It might be done in several combinations of colors of which below are just a few examples. The glass so obtained reflects slightly.
The marble-effect is adequate for flat surfaces, shelves, interiors coverings, and to both classic and modern designs.
