Building Glass

It is a company based in Australia who manufacture the complete spectrum of glass used by commercial, residential to industries and all other applications. They manufacture float glass, laminated and toughened safety glass, energy efficient glass,  insulated glass units & low emissivity combinations. They are always committed to going green and always adopt environmentally friendly practices and manufacture leading edge glass products which deliver outstanding energy efficiency and performance.

Their Clear Float Glass is a high quality building glass which is visually colourless, distortion free flat surface, and provides high daylight transmission and clarity. Clear Float glass is the core base product for most of their glass products and is normally used in window glazing and furniture. Their Tinted float glass is produced by adding oxides of metals during the manufacturing of clear float glass. It reduces glare from the sun  and is aesthetically appealing and is available in the most commonly used colours: Grey, Green, and Bronze & Blue.
Their Low Iron Float Glass is manufactured similarly as ordinary float glass with an approximately 90% of the iron content removed. This process lessens the inherent green tinge evident in normal standard float glass. This dissimilarity can be seen if the glass is viewed from the sides, when many panels are piled together.

Nanoclear is a highly superior finish glass which uses Nanotechnology to apply a protective, invisible coating which provides lifelong clarity. It is easier to clean and requires around 90% less cleaning time than other float glass. It is ideal for glass balustrades & pool fencing, shower screens and kitchen splash backs, exterior windows and building facades.
Another glass which is used inside the buildings is the Switchable Glass which changes from clear to opaque at the flick of a switch and it provides instant privacy, security, solar and glare control. It is available in a broad range of sizes and formats to suit your needs. It remains Translucent in the power off state, and in this state it permits  light to penetrate but  prevents vision through the glass and when power is applied, the glass becomes transparent and provides full visibility.
LOW E Glass   is a glass which has a thin metallic coating on the glass that reflects sun radiation or prevents its emission reducing heat transfer through the glass. It reflects the radiation more than it absorbs , and thereby improves the performance, resulting in a lower U-value. The lower the U-value the better the performance and also the reduction of Air conditioning costs for removing the heat inside the buildings.

The Double glazing units consists of two panes of glass which are bonded to both sides of a spacer  by two seals ,  primary and  secondary  to create one unit. The in between space between the panes of glass is sometimes filled with Argon gas to increase the insulating properties of the double glazing units.

The Glass manufactured by the company is accredited as per the Australian standards and are available throughout Australia through their dealer and distributor network spread all over the country.
