APPLICATION GUIDE
Choose glass by application
Choose the right type of glass for every area of your project.
Safety
Consider tempered and laminated glass for the installation location.
Heat control
Consider Low-E glazing and insulating glass units.
Privacy
Consider mirrors, decorative glass, or glazing suited to the space.
Specialist applications
Review fire-resistant glass, curved glass, or a specified build-up.
SPECIAL CAPABILITIES
Special sizes and curved glass
Review curved glass, special sizes, and architectural glazing with dimensions and fabrication details confirmed for each project.

Safety glass
Choose by installation position, breakage behaviour, and protection level so strength and fragment retention fit the job.
Extend the core safety range with thicker build-ups and protection levels designed around the actual risk.
Laminated Glass
Glass bonded with an interlayer that helps retain fragments after breakage.
Tempered Laminated Glass
Tempered panes bonded with an interlayer to retain the small fragments; specify the build-up for the loads and location.
Extra-thick glass
Indicative chart build-ups: IGU up to 72 mm overall; laminated build-up with up to seven 15 mm glass layers, subject to confirmed design.
Bullet-resistant glass
Specify the build-up and protection level for the actual threat, panel weight, and framing; the product name is not a test result.
Hurricane-resistant glass
Coordinate laminated glass, fixings, and the project's design wind pressure with tested performance for the complete opening.
Building performance
For openings where heat, sound, condensation, panel size, and clarity matter.
Support larger openings and thermal control while confirming dimensions, weight, and performance values for the actual build-up.
Insulated Glass Unit
Two panes separated by a sealed air or gas cavity to reduce heat transfer.
Low-E Glass
A thin coating reduces heat transfer while admitting daylight; commonly used within an IGU.
Extra-long glass
Indicative chart sizes: tempered and laminated up to 12,000 × 3,700 mm; IGU example 3,300 × 8,000 mm.
Extra-wide glass
Wide-format panels can be coordinated by glass type; confirm the actual size, weight, and installation route before production.
Ultra-clear glass
Low-iron glass for a clearer, more neutral appearance; approve a physical sample before production.
Solar photovoltaic glass
Glass for applications combining daylight with power generation; coordinate the structure and electrical system.
Decorative glass
Add colour, pattern, reflection, light control, or privacy to an interior scheme.
Extend the decorative range with digital patterns and interlayers that modulate light transmission for the selected application.
Mirror Glass
Glass with a reflective backing for controlled interior mirror surfaces.
Decorative Glass
Printed, fritted, and coloured laminated glass for decorative work.
Digital ceramic frit glass
Digitally printed ceramic patterns or frit for façades, solar screening, and interiors.
Photochromic laminated glass
Laminated glass using a photochromic interlayer to modulate light transmission for the selected application.
Special-purpose glass
Special properties for façades, flat reflections, fire resistance, and specialist applications.
Bring together specialist properties that must be specified with the complete system, test documents, and project requirements.
Heat-Strengthened Glass
Heat-treated glass with larger breakage fragments than tempered glass; laminate where fragment retention is required.
Self-Cleaning Glass
A surface coating helps water spread into a film to wash away dirt; periodic cleaning is still needed.
Fire-Resistant Glass
Glazing for fire doors and partitions; glass, frame, and seals must match the required fire-rated assembly.
Fire-resistant glass
For fire-rated doors or walls; confirm the Fire Rating for the glass, frame, seals, and complete assembly.
View product →Optoelectronic glass
Glass incorporating optical or electronic functions for specialist applications.
Wired glass
Wire-reinforced glass for specified applications; confirm the required safety and fire details.
Special formats
Curved formats where radius, height, and production method must be checked for the selected series from the start.
Small-radius curved tempered glass
Indicative chart size: 1,800 mm arc length × 3,000 mm height, with a minimum radius of 850 mm.
Large-radius curved tempered glass
Indicative chart sizes: 3,300 × 9,000 mm with a minimum radius of 2,500 mm, or 3,000 × 5,000 mm with a minimum radius of 1,500 mm.
Choose glass by the job
Start with the glass's position and job. Then select the build-up, thickness, and coating as one specification.
Breakage safety
Start with tempered, laminated, or tempered laminated glass based on position and risk.
Heat and condensation control
Consider IGU and Low-E, confirming values for the selected build-up rather than choosing by name alone.
Pattern or privacy
Choose ceramic frit, digital ceramic, or a coloured interlayer for the intended appearance and position.
Flat façade appearance
Consider heat-strengthened glass and lamination when the façade design requires a flatter appearance and safety build-up.
