CAST GLASS
Cast glass, a technique with a rich history dating back to ancient Egypt, continues to shape the world of art and design. By pouring molten glass into moulds, the glass takes on the desired form and solidifies. In modern times, cast glass has evolved to encompass a range of innovative processes. This versatility opens up a world of possibilities, from cast bricks for architectural applications to intricate 3D decorative panels that adorn interiors and facades. Discover the captivating beauty and endless creative potential of cast glass as it brings unique textures and mesmerizing visual effects to your spaces.
TOUGHENED GLASS
Toughened glass is used in many forms of architecture. After treatment with heat or chemicals to render it stronger, toughened glass strength can be four to five times the strength of conventional annealed glass, making toughened glass panels ideal for architectural use.
Toughened glass properties also include the ability to handle greater temperatures and differentials, as well as fracturing into smaller pieces with blunt edges if the glass fails. This is why it’s often referred to as toughened safety glass.
Glass features that form part of a building’s structure have become increasingly popular in recent years, with everything from toughened glass shelves to toughened glass doors to entire toughened glass floors being incorporated into many modern homes and commercial buildings. Originally, thicker glass was used to handle heavier loads.
STAINED GLASS
Stained glass has been used by artisans across the globe for thousands of years in an array of art ventures and installations. Intensifying architecture with vivid color, the process of stained glass refers to a particular action in which glass has been colored via metallic oxides during its manufacture, using different additives in order to create a range of hues and tones.
In terms of architectural enhancement, stained glass is often pieced together in order to produce depictions of decorative art, allowing light to filter and penetrate a particular structure or building. As a component it is both decorative and a variety of window, allowing a substantial and sufficient amount of light into a space, for atmospheric and beneficial effect.
ARCHITECTURAL GLASS
In its most basic form, glass is a non-crystalline, amorphous solid primarily composed of silica (SiO2), which is derived from sand. This silica-based substance, often in combination with other elements such as lime and soda, is heated to an extremely high temperature until it melts and becomes a viscous liquid. Upon cooling, it hardens into the glass we use and sees around us.
While these are the general properties of glass, different types of architectural glass can have varying compositions and properties. Alterations in the basic composition or additional treatments during the manufacturing process can enhance specific characteristics such as strength, insulation properties, or resistance to impacts, leading to a range of specialised glass products designed to meet the diverse needs of modern architecture.
