TEXTURAL CONSIDERATIONS

TEXTURED GLASS FEATURE

• Creates obscurity/privacy with maximum light transmission
• Safety toughened to meet all safety standards
• Can be back painted to any colour 
• Custom designs/ logos can be embossed into the textured glass
• Used in conjunction with high quality stainless steel fixings
• Offers easy cleaning and maintenance.

TOLERANCES & EDGEWORK

Due to the expansion and contraction during the processing of glass up to 3mm variation in panel sizes may occur.
Slumped glass can accommodate all standard glass processing treatments such as holes, notches, cut-outs and edge-polishing.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

In glazing situations where Grade A Safety glass is required, most Slumped Glass can be toughened to comply with New Zealand Standards AS/NZS2208 - Safety glazing materials for use in buildings (human impact considerations).
It should be noted that the toughening process may impart some slight "bowing" over the length of the panel, or in some cases, scuff marks caused by the furnace. These are unavoidable.

Chemical Resistance
Glass will resist most acids except hydrofluoric and high temperature phosphoric. Alkalis can attack the glass surface, so it crucial not to get run off from concrete and the like as they will etch the glass surface. The same can happen with some weathering steels and some sealants release chemicals that can stain glass. Hard water with high calcium can be a problem as can geothermal areas for some ceramic glasses.

OUR PROCESS

GLAZING CONSIDERATIONS

All slumped glass products can be installed by local glazing contractors using standard methods and fixing systems in the same manner as flat glass of equivalent thickness. Please refer to New Zealand Standards AS 1288 (glass in buildings - Selection and Installation) for glazing methods & recommendations.

INTERIOR / EXTERIOR?

Generally panels are glazed with the glossy surface to the exterior of the building for ease of cleaning. Where this is not a consideration however, one has a choice based entirely on aesthetics.
