Vitreous enamel is a glass-like layer applied to a surface, usually metal, to protect and decorate it. The enameling process involves melting powdered glass or a glass paste onto a surface such as steel, copper, or cast iron, at high temperatures, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Fahrenheit. During firing, the glass melts and forms a smooth, hard layer that adheres firmly to the surface. The result is a durable, non-porous and often colorful coating that resists abrasion, corrosion, heat and chemicals. Our company specializes primarily in steel enameling.
