Back-Painted Glass: Soda Glass vs. Glass Kote vs. US Color Glass vs. ?

10 years ago

We are in the process of getting estimates for a back-painted glass backsplash, and I'm just curious if any products are better quality or have advantages vs. the others. So far, it seems that Soda Glass is less expensive than Glass Kote. Our local Color Glass company is non-responsive, so for us it's not an option but I would love to hear others' experiences with it. Are there other brands I should be considering as well?

I‘m just now reading this old query but thought I would answer anyway.

I used Glass Kote as a backsplash a few years ago and I have never regretted it. It abuts glass mosaic tile and I sent Glass Kote a piece to match. Perfect! Smooth glass is so much easier to clean, especially behind the sink and stove. It also brings a bit of reflected light into the room, lightening things up. Sorry, but I am not familiar with Soda Glass.
