artlite ARTLITE can be obtained from a wide range of shades of enamel. As a result of its manufacturing process ARTLITE is delivered as toughened glass, which explains why its resistance to mechanical and thermal shocks is significantly higher than that of standard glass and why it shatters into harmless small pieces when it breaks.
