Branding is an important aspect of any retail environment. The integration of a logo or slogan can be inscribed into the glass itself, maintaining the view through the shop front whilst advertising the company. This can be achieved by Screen Printing, Sandblasting or Printed Interlayers.
Digital Printed Interlayers, within the glass panel, can be used as a marketing tool and convey a message or advert in shop fronts where transparency is not necessarily required.
Glass provides the ideal retail solution, from the outside in, glass structures can lure customers in from the street, and it can dazzle with high-design mirrors and elegant glass shelving. Glass shelving doesn’t interfere with natural lighting within a retail environment unlike other materials which can create a barrier to natural light.
The trend for using glass more innovatively in architecture and design is growing. Previously glass floors were used to provide a practical light solution to environments where spaces such as basements or windowless rooms had suffered with poor natural light. Many of us are fascinated and stimulated by glass structures, especially when that structure is a glass floor and the vista is some distance below, and today architects are using glass to much greater effect.

The paradigm shift led by contemporary architects has seen notable growth in the importance of building facades. Strong glass values have given way to a recognition of its direct influence on structural stability, on the energy efficiency of the building.
Our curtain wall glass units create options for sloped and facet shaped panels to allow maximum light into a small or multi story building.
Due to rapid on site installations, we deliver directly to your required site for easy offloading.

Unlike vision glass, which is meant to be transparent, spandrel glass is designed to be opaque in order to help hide features between the floors of a building, including vents, wires, slab ends and mechanical equipment.
Benefits of glass spandrel panels:
An opaque coloured glass ideal for external facades. Retains overall visual integrity of curtain walling system.
Glass balustrades have become incredibly popular in both commercial and domestic developments. Glass balustrades add drama to a staircase, especially when glass treads are used.
There are lots of opportunities to use the glass balustrade systems in your home design, or even commercial property. Glass can be used independently as a frameless glass support or within a supporting framework to allow light to transfer between level changes on a staircase.
A frameless glass balustrade construction should be toughened or laminated, with two panels of Toughened (or tempered) Glass laminated together. Thus, making the construction not only structurally stronger than a single piece of Toughened Glass, but also preventing glass fragments falling onto the space below.
Glass can be cut and curved and manipulated to create different shapes and give the appearance of movement and fluidity to a glass balustrade.
For a stronger and safer frameless glass balustrade, we would recommend the use of a Sentry Interlayer within the balustrade construction. An interlayer such as SGP will create a robust balustrade that will remain in-tact in the event of a glass panel breakage.
A Sentry Interlayer on an external frameless balustrade will also increase the life longevity of the installation. Sentry Interlayers are much stronger and do not react to water giving greater life longevity to any external applications.
Glass can be used for internal or external doors and allows natural light to transfer between spaces, or transmit light to different areas of a space.
According to BS 6262 all glazing deemed to be in a ‘critical location’ must be a Safety Glass, I.E. a Toughened or Laminated Glass. The ‘critical area’ is the space between the finished floor level and 1500mm above the door and adjacent panels.
To comply with safety regulations any glass used in doors and adjacent panels should be toughened or laminated.
Glass Units has been used in doors on commercial premises for many years but now Bi-Fold doors, sliding doors and large patio doors are all becoming a popular design aspect for residential homes, especially to the rear of the house. These large glass doors create the illusion of larger internal living areas and connect the indoor space with the outdoors.
Performance glazing such as Solar Control can be used to maintain an ambient internal temperature when using large faces of glass within doors.
For internal doors, or doors where no thermal or weather resistance is required frameless, single glazing is suitable. For external doors or doors separating two different climates double or a Triple Glazed Units may be more appropriate.
Where light transfer may be required but privacy maintained translucent coloured interlayers or sandblasted glass can be used to create a cloudy or frosted glass effect.
Fire Rated Glass can be used to provide a fire barrier whilst maintaining light transmission and vision through fire retardant doors. Regulations state that any framing used for the fire rated glass must also have a fire resistance rating but aluminium, steel or hardwood timber can all be used.
Designed for installations both internally and externally. Walk on glass panels can be used to increase the amount of natural light flowing through your show room or building.
