Specialist Toughened Glass uses thermal
toughening methods to produce a wide
variety of processed glass.
Our processed glass can be used for
balustrade, shower, marine and flooring
purposes, and through our CNC shaping
capabilities we are able to supply glass
with smooth polished edges and radius
corners when necessary.
Mitred and arrised edges are also available
thanks to our in house straight line edger
(SLE) and dry belts which take the sharp
edge off the glass before toughening.
Arrised edges are only recommended if the
edge is going to be hidden in a frame,
though it is the cheapest glazing we
provide as very few additional processes
are required.
All our glass can contain minimum
dubbed corners of 3mm and drilled holes
must be more than 20mm from the edge
of the glass (including hole diameter) in
order for the overall structure of the glass
to remain strong and durable after
toughening.
By combining our basic cutting and
edging processes with our laminating and
printed glass facilities we can offer safe
and secure glazing with a unique and
personalised feel through unique print
designs that can vary from black borders
with frit designs to gradient etchs and full
colour prints.
Why Toughened Glass?
•
Four to six times the strength of
annealed glass
小泉希•
Strong against impact trauma with
very little give or distortion at larger
thicknesses.
•
Shatters in to small thumbnail sized
chunks which are safer and less likely
to cause injury compared to
annealed glass shards
•
Use in conjunction with laminated
inter-layers to create safe balustrade
glass that will hold its shape in the
frame even if it breaks.
