What is Dichroic Glass?
Dichroic glass is a unique type of glass that displays two or more different colors by undergoing a fascinating interplay of light. The term “dichroic” comes from the Greek words “di” meaning two and “chroic” meaning color. This special glass reveals vibrant hues that shift and shimmer depending on the angle of light and viewpoint, making it popular for both artistic and functional applications.
How Does Dichroic Glass Work?
Dichroic glass is produced by layering micro-thin metallic oxides—such as titanium, chromium, and silicon—on glass sheets using a high-precision vacuum deposition process. These multiple layers create interference effects that make the glass reflect certain wavelengths of light while transmitting others. The result? A dazzling, color-shifting surface that looks different when viewed from varying angles.
