GLASS TYPES
COATED GLASS
Performance Perfection
Energy saving is more then just a great way to save on bills, or a way to be environmentally aware. Coatings on glass that control the radiation from the sun can keep things cool when it starts heating up, keep your air- cons or heaters from over-working, and protect what’s on the inside of the glass from getting heat damaged or faded in the sun.
With options for tinting or reflective control, e-coatings and protective layers, there’s no one-size fits all when it comes to coatings, and David Glass has an experienced team that can advise you on what best suits your needs.
LOW IRON GLASS
When Colour Is Crucial
Low Iron Glass can help you to achieve high definition visual results, and give your design’s aesthetic the clarity you’re craving. When it’s made, molten clear Float Glass produces Iron Dioxide which tinges the colour of the material slightly with a lovely shade of green. By removing most of the Iron Dioxide in production, the team at David Glass can significantly reduce colour distortion, and increased light transmission, creating a vivid, high quality effect.
If you want a show-stopping splashback, or the perfectly coloured shower screen, Low Iron Glass could be exactly what you need.
PATTERNED GLASS
Private, Pretty And Personal
Privacy doesn’t have to mean a drawn curtain blocking all your light. With options for fogged, patterned, textured and etched glass, you can create a personalised touch that keeps the light coming in, and the prying eyes out. Alternatively, etched designs make for beautifully modern bathrooms with patterned shower screens or shelving, and fogged glass could add a misty grace to your balcony’s balustrade.
The team at David Glass has perfected the art of patterned glass in such a way that allows new applications of the medium, creating textured and patterned glass that can be double insulated, toughened or laminated to suit your needs.
SAFETY GLASS
Protecting You and Yours
The safety of you and your family, your co-workers and your clients is important to us. At David Glass, we always comply with the Australian Standard AS-1288 to ensure the compliant installation of both toughened and laminated safety glass. We can help you choose which of these two A-grade safety glass types best meet your needs.
Toughened Safety Glass is made by heating, stressing, and cooling the glass in the furnace until it’s dense, strong, and durable, standing 4-7 times stronger then ordinary Float Glass. If struck with enough force, this type of glass will shatter into dense, cube-like pieces that have fewer sharp edges to reduce the chance of injury, but as this quickly falls from its frame afterwards, this can cause an urgent replacement issue.
TINTED GLASS
Solar Shielding
Don’t be that person who keeps their sunnies on inside. Tinted glass can work exactly the same way as your favourite pair without making a classic faux-pas! By reducing the amount of solar radiation that enters the building, you can protect your eyes, and your furniture with tinted glass. Tinting windows or skylights with colours like green, bronze, or grey can keep your space cool, in more ways then one.
CLEAR FLOAT GLASS
Your Best Basics
Float glass is our team’s favourite, versatile starting point when looking after your needs. Molten glass is poured with precision onto molten tin to create a smooth, flat surface that becomes the base for almost every application of glass you can think of!
Mostly colourless, float glass looks almost completely transparent from the front, but has a sea-green tint when viewed from the side, and can be tinted in a variety of colours, made reflective, or even patterned to give you an infinite selection of aesthetic options.
If you’re creating the perfect look for your kitchen splashback or shower-screen door, float glass can be made low-iron to get the perfect colour, or etched to give either a personal, or professional touch.
INSULATED GLASS
Double Glaze, Double Quality
With the well known ‘double glaze’ of insulated glass, there’s a lot more going on under the surface than what meets the eye. With two layers of glass sealing a third layer of air in the middle, insulated glass creates a thermo-neutral layer that reduces temperature transfer from one side to the other. With gaps between 6mm and 20mm, the trapped air reduces temperature fluctuation like nothing else, and can be made with multiple air gaps to increase efficiency.
Still want the right look? Double glazing can mean multiple options in picking which panes work for you, and the team at David Glass can guide you through your selection.
