Switchable Glass
Switchable glass is a new smart glass technology that allows you to adjust the amount of light being transmitted through. This gives you the option of having your windows, doors or glass walls being transparent, translucent or opaque. The idea behind this innovative idea is to balance the benefits of natural light and open views, with the need for privacy and thermal efficiency.
Energy Efficient-Glazing
Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important part of our lives, both home and businessowners are implementing ways to become more sustainable. Energy-efficient glazing is a staple for many domestic and commercial properties. The use of double and triple glazing or Low-E coatings is the best way to improve the thermal performance of your windows, this simple solution creates a comfortable temperature within workspaces, saves money on energy bills and contributes to a better environment.
Acoustic Glazing
Solar-control Glazing
Solar-control glass is made with a specialised metallic coating which reflects away infrared radiation from the sun, whilst allowing UV light to pass through the glass. This ensures maximum sunlight enters your home, but with reduced heat, keeping your home or business cooler. The benefits of solar-control glass include increased energy efficiency, improved thermal comfort, reduced glare for better visibility, and a contribution to sustainability.
Frameless Glass
Frameless glass is a design trend that has become popular for many reasons. Both homeowners and business owners appreciate its sleek, minimalist appearance and the vast, uninterrupted views with the copious amount of sunlight it allows in. Its chic, modern look is highly appealing, and its versatility makes it suitable for various applications, including balconies, showers, windows, doors, partitions, and walls.
Safety/Security Glass
Safety glass is essential for many commercial properties and comes in two main forms: laminated glass and tempered glass. Laminated glass features an interlayer bonded between the glass panes, creating a strong structure that is difficult to break. Tempered glass, on the other hand, shatters into small, blunt pieces to protect occupants from injury. Safety glass reduces break-in risks and provides peace of mind, making it an excellent choice for most businesses.
