SANDBLASTED GLASS

Also called glass carving, this option offers the perfect balance between beauty and privacy. This glass is blasted with an abrasive material at high pressure to create a unique mist effect. This frosted look can be used to protect the privacy of bathroom windows and shower doors, and can be also formed into elegant patterns to produce decorative panes of glass to enhance your interior design

TINTED GLASS

If privacy is your priority, then tinted glass is the ideal choice for any doors or windows in your home or business. Though tinted glass keeps out prying eyes, it still allows plenty of natural sunlight to filter through, whilst reducing the discomfort of the sun’s glare.

COATED GLASS

Coated glass is modified flat glass to give it specific characteristics, for example to make it insulating and resistant to infra-red. It is commonly used for double glazed windows to improve home insulation.

MIRRORED GLASS

There are many types of glass available and another type is mirrored glass. Mirrored glass is quite simply a mirror – and can be produced in all sizes, from small bathroom mirrors to full-length wardrobe doors. It is made by applied a metal coating to one side of the glass, typically made of silver, chrome, gold or aluminium.

LAMINATED GLASS

Laminated glass is a common option where increased security may be needed, for example, for front doors, store window fronts or car windscreens. Laminated glass is held together by an interlayer, meaning that it will not shatter on impact, reducing the risk of break-ins and any hazards caused by shards of shattered glass.

PATTERNED GLASS

Patterned glass is typically produced by passing heated glass through rollers containing a regular pattern to be imprinted upon the glass. This type of glass is often used for bathroom windows or doors where, like sandblasted glass, light may be required but not total transparency.

TOUGHENED GLASS

Toughened glass can be used in a range of ways; for shower doors, glass furniture, shelves etc, and holds the advantage of being far more resistant to breaks. The cooling process in toughened glass creates counteracting stresses meaning that if it does break, the glass will shatter into small, square fragments rather than shards, decreasing the risk of injury.

FLAT GLASS

Flat glass is the basic first product from the float process of making glass. It has a uniform thickness and makes the base for more advanced types of glass through further processing. This glass tends to break into long shards, and will commonly be used in double-glazing following further treatment.
