FAQ's
Float/Annealed Glass is a high-quality, transparent flat glass produced by floating molten glass on a ‘tin bath’ at a high temperature. It serves as the foundation for manufacturing other glass types due to its versatility.
During the manufacturing process of Float/Annealed Glass, patterns are printed directly onto the glass, creating the distinctive patterns and textures.
Toughened Glass is created by heating annealed glass and rapidly cooling it. When broken, it fractures into small, safe pieces without sharp edges, making it a safety-focused choice.
Attempting to modify Toughened Glass after toughening can cause it to shatter, emphasising the importance of completing all processes beforehand.
These markings ensure compliance with safety standards, indicating whether the glass is laminated or toughened, along with the supplier’s registration number.
Laminated Glass is created by sandwiching two glass panels with PVB. It is suitable for areas requiring post-breakage resistance, such as shop-fronts, balconies, stair-railings, and roof glazing.
Yes, Laminated Glass can have electricity passed between panes, enabling functions like activating alarms, heating the glass, and switching between clear and opaque states.
Low-E Energy Saving Glass reflects heat back into the room, reducing heat loss. Hard Coat and Soft Coat options offer similar benefits, but Soft Coat provides better thermal insulation and reduces the likelihood of condensation.
A transparent coating on the glass utilises sun and rain to efficiently remove dirt and grime, ensuring easier cleaning and longer-lasting cleanliness.
The metallic coating on Fire Resistant Glass provides 30, 60, or 90-minute resistance. When laminated, it can achieve 120-minute resistance as PVU inter-layers expand during a fire to form an opaque barrier.
Anti-Bandit Glass is composed of multiple glass layers and PVU inter-layers. Thicker overall thickness enhances its strength, making it a robust security solution.
