Perla Pinutra™

1.17.11 | Los Angeles, CA | Perla™, a new addition to the PINTURA™ series of color coated sheet glass products, has been introduced by Pulp Studio of Los Angeles. Perla™ is unique in the industry because it is the only coating with a mirrored element which, in this case, produces a lustrous, subtly reflective quality. It is offered in both standard and custom color and suited to both residential and commercial interior use, both as direct application to wall, or in back-to-back laminated version for glass partitioning.

The PINTURA™ series, when it was introduced in 2008, was the first water based coating system in the market and continues to be one of the few no-VOC glass coatings available. While most glass coatings in the market remain solvent based, Pintura™ has zero environmental impact from the manufacturing of the paint to the application and disposal of any paint waste. At the same time, it has been tested as an extremely durable, high performance color coating, systemized for repetitive color consistency. Although there are multiple ways to coat glass, PINTURA™ is applied by spray coating in multiple layers, which provides the smoothest, most consistent color for small runs. Because PINTURA™ is cured in controlled conditions, the finish is permanently bonded to the surface, guaranteeing that when fabricated it will not peel, chip or otherwise separate from the surface. Pulp Studio also offers a proprietary adhesive that cures much more quickly than standard adhesives and assures that it will not be visible through the glass. Even fully opaque coated glass can still transmit a small amount of light which, over time, might create shadows around other adhesives. Pulp’s fast curing adhesive allows the installer to have a permanent, strong bond within three hours of application.

Perla PINTURA™ is applied to low iron glass to assure the desired color is not affected by the otherwise naturally occurring green tint. This makes it much easier to match colors for future replacement or additions.
