Rick L. Silas developed two glass technologies - shattered glass and ice glass. Shattered glass is produced through a laminate process to create flat or cold bent glass sheets for countertops, tables, and walls. Ice glass adds a frozen texture to glass using a resin compound. The document provides photos of products using these technologies like backsplashes, furniture bases, and room dividers. It also mentions the potential to coat other materials with glass.

1. Silastial® Glass Inc. Technology
Rick L. Silas has developed two primary technologies; his patented “Shattered
Glass” and “Ice Glass” However, there are many proven applications and
potential products that spin off from these two primary technologies. Another
technology, yet to be explored is coating any substrate material with glass at
room temperature.
1) SHATTERED GLASS:
a) Flat Shattered Glass:
Our patented process is the result of a laminate construction process that
produces sheets of stunning “shattered” glass suitable for a variety of uses
including countertop applications in kitchens and bathrooms.
b) Cold Bent Shattered Glass:
Going one step further in the laminating and shattering process we now mold and
bend the glass into almost any shape without the use of heat. Many applications
include table and vanity bases.
Please find following photographs that show these technologies in use under
their proper category.
2) ICE GLASS:
We use a special resin compound to add a “frozen” look to new or existing panes
of glass. Our Ice Glass texture can turn a kitchen or bathroom glass backsplash,
room divider or side light window into a unique look that can complement existing
design or provide an eye-catching feature. Different imagery and color may be
added.
