lasipohjaisia

Lasipohjaisia is a Finnish compound adjective meaning glass-based or having a glass base. It is used to describe materials, surfaces, or products in which glass serves as the substrate, foundation, or primary component. The term can appear in singular or plural forms and is common in technical and descriptive writing.

The base form is lasipohjainen (singular), and in plural it is lasipohjaiset when referring to multiple items in the nominative, or lasipohjaisia in the partitive plural (for example, lasipohjaisia levyjä). The construction combines lasi (glass) with pohja (base) to convey that glass plays a fundamental role in the item’s structure or function.

Common usage areas include materials science, engineering, and architecture, where glass serves as a substrate or core material. Examples include glass-based materials such as lasipohjaisia levyjä or lasipohjaisia paneeleita, as well as products where glass underpins performance, such as certain display substrates or protective layers. In art and design, the term may describe pieces that integrate glass as a foundational element.

Nuances and scope vary by context. Lasipohjaisia generally indicates that glass is the principal base rather than a superficial coating, though in composite materials it may be one component among others. Related terms include lasi (glass) and lasinen (glassy), and the adverbial form lasipohjaisesti can describe actions performed in a glass-based manner.
