Custom Tempered Glass for Railings & Facades: Holes, Shapes and Curves Explained
A façade panel may follow a curved entrance, wrap around a column or align with an irregular steel frame. These details look minor on a drawing. In production, they determine whether the glass can be tempered safely, installed without adjustment and replaced later without changing the surrounding system. Custom tempered glass should therefore be treated […]
Solar Control Laminated Glass for Skylights & Curtain Walls: Uses and Benefits
Large glazed roofs and façades create bright interiors. They also create heat, glare, and safety problems when the glass specification is too simple.
