ECL Grey Tempered Glass (often called "Smoked Glass") is a premium safety glass infused with a distinct grey pigment during the manufacturing process. Unlike a film or coating that can peel or scratch, the tint is part of the glass itself, ensuring a uniform, fade-resistant color. While it remains transparent, the grey hue acts as a sunglasses for your space—softening harsh sunlight, reducing UV transmission, and providing a layer of visual privacy. It is the preferred choice for designers looking to add a moody, contemporary edge to shower enclosures, office partitions, and tabletop protectors without sacrificing the open feel of glass.

When you install ECL Grey, you are delivering a premium, durable product that meets all safety glazing standards and eliminates the risk of thermal breakage callbacks.
