Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing flat glass, comprising the following successive steps: (a) applying a layer of a glass frit to a glass textile, the glass of the frit and of the textile having essentially the same composition, (b) heating the glass textile bearing the layer of glass frit to a temperature T>TL?20° C., TL being the Littleton temperature of the glass frit, for a sufficient length of time to convert the layer of frit into an enamel layer of the same composition as the glass textile, and (c) cooling the glass textile impregnated with the enamel or bearing an enamel layer, obtained in step (b), so as to obtain a glass sheet. It also relates to a glass sheet capable of being obtained by this process.
