Aesthetic Glass

We offer a range of glass with aesthetic properties, to meet a variety of design requirements, as well as glare reduction and solar control demands. With striking visual aesthetics, tinted and reflective glass is widely specified for a variety of commercial glazing applications. Both products achieve improved solar performance values compared to clear glass, resulting in greater efficiency.

Here below are the broad categories of aesthetic glass options applicable to most of our product lines.

Tinted Glass

Tinted and reflective glass types are designed to compliment building facades and improve solar performance. It is produced by adding metal oxides to float glass during manufacture. Tinted glass absorbs and re-radiates solar energy reducing heat and it can provide cost effective climate control. It also reduces sun glare and is aesthetically appealing. Tinted glass is available most commonly in Grey and Bronze.

Tinted laminates reduce damaging short-wave ultraviolet radiation. The lighter tints eliminate some solar energy and are intended for use in glazing areas where safety , glare control and aesthetic qualities are required. The deeper tints improve glare control and provide a higher degree of solar heat elimination

Reflective Glass

Reflective glass provides a bold, crisp exterior appearance, along with a dynamic building surface that changes to reflect the surroundings. It offers greater solar control than standard tinted float glass and can be used to create a specific visual appearance in a building. A metallic coating is applied during the manufacturing process and creates a highly reflective appearance.
Reflective Glass is typically available in Clear, Neutral, Grey, Bronze, and Blue colours.

Coloured Glass

Coloured glass makes it possible to create highly original building facades, partitions and interior spaces. It is most often used for enhanced architectural aesthetics. Made by laminating coloured interlayers in the glass, you achieve multiple colours of varying intensity and solar control properties to suit your vision.
The coloured glass interlayers are stable in both heat and light, so can be used in internal and external applications without colour distortion. When used with our solar control glass, the glass can be used to reduce solar heat gain and for the reduction of glare.

Typical applications

• To compliment building facades especially malls and office blocks
• Where glare control and solar performance is required.
• Decorative eg. Glass shelves and office partitions.
• Ideal for applications which require the design benefits of colours.
