The material in detail
UV printing on ceramic is permanent, waterproof, and heat-resistant — the same properties that make ceramic the preferred surface in bathrooms, kitchens, and restaurants. The ink cures directly into the tile surface; it does not chip, fade, or wash off. Glastrix printed 24 glass tiles for Piri's restaurant in Berlin, reproducing the original hand-drawn wall art panel by panel. For the Zoff "Zwangsräume" installation, ceramic panels became the canvas for a site-specific artwork. In long-term partnership with ornament control designer Kathrin Kreitmeyer, Glastrix has produced hundreds of bathroom tile installations across Europe. Whether you're an interior designer specifying custom tile for a client bathroom, a restaurant owner preserving original artwork as permanent wall tile, or an artist creating a site-specific ceramic installation — Glastrix handles production from a single piece. From 1 tile, white-label, shipped within 48h.

Are UV-printed ceramic tiles safe for bathrooms and showers?
Yes. UV ink on ceramic is fully waterproof, heat-resistant, and easy to clean — the same durability as the ceramic itself. Glastrix has produced bathroom and shower tile installations across Europe.
Can you print on existing tiles that are already installed?
No — UV flatbed printing requires the tile to lie flat on the press bed. Glastrix prints on uninstalled tiles, then ships them ready to lay or hand-finish on-site.
How do UV-printed tiles compare to hand-painted or factory-printed tiles?
Hand-painted tiles are slow, expensive, and inconsistent at scale. Factory-printed tiles require high-minimum industrial production runs. Glastrix UV prints from a single tile with photographic resolution and a 5-year durability guarantee — bridging artisan quality with production repeatability.
Can I send my own tiles to be printed?
Yes. Send your tiles to the Glastrix studio in Berlin-Kreuzberg; they will be printed and shipped back. This works for unique, hand-made, or specially sourced tiles.
Do UV-printed tiles require special maintenance?
No. UV-printed tiles clean exactly like unprinted tiles — standard tile cleaner, no abrasives required.
We print your product and ship it to your customer — invisibly.

Real Projects
How this material has been used in real client work.
Glastrix is a dream for artists and other practitioners that wish to work with someone who is dedicated to the creative process. Eric and I spent hours in the studio together developing catered approaches to printing on the strange materials I brought in, and I am excited to continue this process. I found, at Glastrix, not only high quality printing and attention to detail, but an experimental and welcoming studio environment.
We have already worked with Glastrix on several projects and are always impressed by how quickly and competently solutions are found and realised. We know of no better address in Berlin for prints. Thank you very much!
