For Fabricators / N.A. Representation by ADG
A new day in back-painted glass
Think of this as "creative" industrial glass coatings, proven across Europe and South America since 1977, now in the U.S. through ADG. A complete ecosystem that scales from a hand-held gun to a fully automated line.
Who
CR / Nº 001a
A heritage of craft. A future of innovation, industrial-grade creative glass coatings.
Creative Resins enters the U.S. flat glass sector with a legacy unlike anything in the decorative glass coatings market. The company's roots reach back to 1977 as RSG (Resin Stained Glass), a pioneering studio devoted to the artistry and chemistry of stained glass design.
In 1999 it became Creative Resins, expanding that craft-driven foundation into a global, technology-led coatings manufacturer. Today, Creative Resins stands as a family-run, UK-based world leader in advanced glass coating systems, trusted by fabricators, designers, and manufacturers across continents, and now distributed in the U.S. by ADG.
What
CR / Nº 001b
What is Creative Resins.
A complete back-paint coating and mechanical application ecosystem, not a single product. Two-component creative industrial paint, water-based spandrel coating, mirror finishes, and a custom color pigment system that produces 15,000+ matched formulations.
Engineered to run on whatever you already have, a hand-held gun and a mixer, a booth with extraction, or a fully automated AD24 + Picasso production line. Same coatings. Same pigments. Many ways to configure for your unique production goals.
- 01 Glass Paint Supreme + Custom Colors + Special Effects
- 02 Glass Paint H₂O, Water-Based, Custom Colors
- 03 Mirror Finish 1K + Antique Effect Solutions in Black, Gold & Copper
- 04 UT, WB, Metallic, Transparent + Color Match Software System
Who It's For
CR / Nº 002
Built for three kinds of fabricators.
Small to Mid-Size Fabricator
Add a high-margin product line
without rebuilding your shop.
- Start manual. A spray gun, a mixer, and a starter kit is a real beginning.
- Grow into semi-automated as orders grow, booth, extraction, scale.
- Scale to a full Picasso line when you're ready. Same paints, same pigments.
Industrial High Volume Fabricator
Match your spandrel output with H₂O. Open a creative line with Supreme.
- Glass Paint H₂O: low-VOC, water-based, built for high-volume spandrel.
- Supreme + UT pigments unlock special-effect and mirror premium work, high margin
- AD24 dispenser and Picasso machines integrate with existing automated lines.
The Opportunity
CR / Nº 002a
The market you have been sitting next to. Ready to enter.
The US shower wall surface market is approximately $2.6 billion annually. Most glass fabricators have had limited access to the premium end of that market, not because of price, not because of skill, but because the products that command premium pricing have historically required either hand-laid tile, expensive stone, or a narrow category of tempered mirrors that are institutional by design, distorted in reflection, and completely inaccessible to the design community. Creative Resins changes the equation.
01 / Product
Mirror 1K: Beautiful Mirrored Glass. Finally Practical.
Mirror 1K makes a difference in every way that matters to a design application: applied post-tempering, wet-area certified for showers and spa environments, and capable of mixing with other Creative Resins special effect coatings and digital printing to create a truly decorative reflective layer.
This is the modern equivalent of verre églomisé, a custom-designed mirrored surface, delivered at a price architects and interior designers can actually specify. Your clients have been asking for it for years.
02 / Revenue
The Revenue Opportunity.
A certified CR fabricator doing 3 decorative glass shower projects per month generates $144,000 in additional annual revenue from this product line alone, at margins significantly higher than commodity glass work.
At 10 projects per month, that is $480,000 per year. One hotel or spa project is $50,000 to $200,000 in a single order.
The ADG Designer and Visualizer platform lets your sales team show any client exactly what their project will look like with ADG glass before a single panel is cut, and generates the quote at your pricing automatically. The tool exists specifically to make decorative glass easy to sell.
03 / Advantage
No Grout. Ever.
Every homeowner who has ever cleaned a tiled shower knows what grout becomes over time. Glass has no grout and never will. A decorative glass shower wall with CR coatings is maintenance-free, code-compliant, and unlike anything Jacuzzi or Re-Bath can offer, because you can design it.
A specific botanical print. A metallic effect that changes in different light. A mirror accent panel alongside a CR special effect wall. These are products your competitors cannot offer.
The ADG certified fabricator network keeps it that way, the number of certified fabricators per market is deliberately limited and exclusive to geographic service areas.
