Commercial Glass

Acrylic sheets

Acrylic sheets, often called by the trade name “plexi” or “Plexiglas”, are used where safety, handling and workability (bending, cutting, drilling!) is desired, and price is important. It is much less resistant to scratching, certain chemicals and deterioration than glass, but being lighter and stronger than glass, it is often used where safety and security are desired and other drawbacks are less important.

Laminated glass

Laminated glass is considered a safety glass — along with fully tempered glass — and is primarily used because of its safety, security and sound abatement characteristics. It is particularly suitable where it is useful to maintain the structural integrity of the piece after breakage, in situations such as storefronts, balconies, stair-railings, skylights and windshields.

It is used in manufacturing automotive glass, bullet resistant glass and in a variety of commercial and residential applications. Adhering two or more pieces of glass together with a vinyl layer using heat and pressure produces laminated glass. In case of breakage, the PVB interlayer holds the fragments together and thus continues to provide resistance to the passage of persons or objects.

• Windows do more than let light into your home or building; the shape and style can make a huge difference. Changing your windows can open up a whole new world of style.
• The main benefits of PVC-U are low maintenance and high durability, unlike wooden frames, which usually require frequent repainting and attention. Modern PVC-U frames have a smooth, consistent and reliable operation and are extremely thermally efficient.
• Combining an attractive appearance with exceptional strength, increased insulation properties and fully concealed gaskets helps make the perfect choice both aesthetically and economically.
