About the Design

Custom Glass Chessboard Printed with Your Own Design

Turn your artwork into a custom tempered glass chessboard made for playing, displaying, and sharing. Upload your finished chessboard design, and we’ll print it beneath a smooth, glossy glass surface.

Choose 16 × 16 inches or 20 × 20 inches and create a board that reflects your style—from classic black and white to marble effects, geometric patterns, illustrations, photographs, and personalized artwork.

This product includes the glass chessboard only. Chess pieces are not included.

Your Design, Printed on Glass

Your chessboard doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Supply your own design, colors, patterns, or artwork to create a personal playing surface.

Explore looks such as:

  • Classic, minimalist, or contemporary chessboard patterns.
  • Blue marble, emerald onyx, or stone-inspired designs.
  • Celestial, geometric, botanical, or landscape artwork.
  • Personal photographs, names, and meaningful details.
  • Artwork with realistic depth, shadows, and 3D visual effects.

Marble, resin, metallic, and 3D effects are printed appearances. The playing surface remains flat, smooth glass, with no raised squares or textured artwork.

Upload artwork you own or have permission to reproduce. For a functional chessboard, your finished design should include a clearly readable 8 × 8 grid with 64 alternating squares.

Made for Playing Chess

This is a functional glass chessboard designed for use with your own chess pieces. The smooth surface provides an even playing area, while your custom artwork makes the board personal enough to leave on display.

Choose contrasting light and dark squares to keep positions easy to read. If you already own chess pieces, consider their base sizes when selecting your board and artwork layout.

4 mm Tempered Glass with a Glossy Finish

Each board is made from 4 mm tempered glass with straight polished edges, square corners, and a clean, frameless appearance.

Your artwork is applied using high-resolution UV printing on the backside of the glass, followed by a white protective backing layer. The clear glass front sits above the printed design, creating a glossy finish with natural reflections.

Tempered glass can be up to five times stronger than ordinary annealed glass of the same thickness, offering increased strength for everyday handling and play. Glass can still break if dropped or struck, particularly at its edges.

Easy to Clean

Gently wipe the glass front with a soft microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and everyday marks. Use a lightly dampened cloth when needed, then dry with a soft cloth.

The printed artwork sits beneath the glass, so you clean the smooth front surface. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaning products.

Two Square Sizes

Size option Overall dimensions Glass thickness
16-inch chessboard 16 × 16 inches / 40.64 × 40.64 cm 4 mm
20-inch chessboard 20 × 20 inches / 50.8 × 50.8 cm 4 mm

The 16-inch option suits smaller tables and compact playing spaces. The 20-inch option offers a larger format for play and display.

Playing-square sizes and border widths depend on your uploaded design. Choose artwork with a clear, readable grid suitable for your selected board size.

Optional Design Editing — Add $10

Have artwork that needs preparation before printing? Select the $10 design-editing option on the product page when placing your order.

Editing assistance can include adding a chess grid or adjusting the artwork’s layout for the selected board. Send your file and instructions so we can review the requested changes.

This option provides editing assistance for supplied artwork; extensive changes or a completely new design require a separate discussion.

How to Order

  1. Choose your size: 16 × 16 or 20 × 20 inches.
  2. Select optional editing: Add design assistance for $10 if needed.
  3. Upload your artwork: Supply the highest-resolution original file available.
  4. We print and ship: Your artwork becomes your custom glass chessboard.

Before submitting your artwork, check the spelling, image quality, grid, borders, and placement. A print preview is available upon request; it is not automatically provided.

For the clearest result, upload an original design file rather than a screenshot. Colors may differ slightly between your screen and the finished print because screens and printed materials display colors differently.

Production and Shipping

Production takes 2–3 business days once your artwork is ready for printing. Time spent preparing artwork, completing requested edits, or reviewing a preview you have requested comes before production.

Estimated transit times after dispatch:

Destination Estimated shipping time
United States and Canada 3–5 business days
United Kingdom 2–4 business days
European Union 1–4 business days
Other destinations 3–7 business days

Production and shipping are separate stages. Transit estimates may vary by destination, carrier, and customs processing.

Securely Packaged for Delivery

Your custom glass chessboard is carefully packed with protective shipping materials to help protect the panel, polished edges, and corners during transit.

What’s Included

Your order includes:

  • One custom-produced tempered-glass backsplash
  • Your selected mounting hardware
  • Installation guidance
  • Protective shipping packaging

Screw mounting hardware is available as an optional $20 upgrade. Standard silicone, tape, silicone + tape, and metal-hanger mounting options are included at no extra charge.

Size and Measuring

Measure the installation area carefully before ordering. Width and height must be entered separately. A small mistake in the entered dimensions produces a panel that fits the number you typed, not the wall you meant.

For a backsplash, measure the width between cabinets or cabinet returns and the height from the counter to the underside of your hood or upper cabinets. If you have no upper cabinets, 60 cm is the standard splash zone.

Need an outlet opening or custom cut-out? Select Custom cut-outs above for +$30 per panel. Add the dimensions and positions of each opening, with an optional photo or annotated drawing.

Mounting and Installation

Choose from complimentary standard mounting options (transparent adhesive silicone, double-sided tape, silicone + tape, or removable metal hangers), or select stainless-steel screw mounting hardware for an additional $20. The most suitable installation method depends on the panel size, wall condition, and installation area.

Approximately 15 minutes of active installation time, plus 24 hours for silicone to cure (silicone mounting options only — metal-hanger and screw installs skip the cure step). Complete step-by-step instructions ship with your order and are also online.

Production and Delivery

  • Standard-size production: 3–5 business days
  • Custom-size production: 8–10 business days
  • Standard shipping: Free on every order. Transit time depends on the destination — see the shipping estimate near the Add to Cart button for your country's window, or open the full shipping & delivery details.

Returns, Damage and Remakes

Because each panel is produced in the selected design and size, custom and made-to-order products may not be eligible for return due to preference changes.

If an item arrives damaged, defective, or materially different from the approved order, contact Zaanvo promptly with clear photos of the packaging and the panel so the issue can be reviewed and resolved. We reply within one business day.
