Services
Float Glass
Our float glass solutions provide high clarity and versatility for architectural applications. Available in various thicknesses from 4mm to 16mm, these products form the foundation for further processing into safety glass, insulated units, or decorative finishes. Ideal for windows, partitions, and structural glazing in both new-build and renovation projects.
Laminated Glass
STADIP and STADIP PROTECT laminated glass products enhance security and noise reduction. Comprising multiple glass layers bonded with PVB interlayers, these solutions maintain integrity even when broken. STADIP SILENCE variants provide acoustic insulation up to 48dB, suitable for urban environments and commercial spaces requiring sound control.
Solar Control Glass
COOL-LITE solar control glass optimises thermal performance in commercial buildings. Triple silver-coated technology reduces solar heat gain while maintaining natural light transmission. This solution helps achieve energy efficiency targets in modern architecture without compromising aesthetic design possibilities.
Insulated Glass Units
Our high-performance insulated glass units combine thermal efficiency with acoustic benefits. Available in double or triple-glazed configurations, these products feature PLANITHERM low-E coatings to reduce heat loss. Suitable for windows, facades, and rooflights in residential and commercial applications requiring enhanced energy performance.
Patterned Glass
SATINOVO and PARSOL patterned glass solutions offer privacy and design flexibility. Textured surfaces diffuse light while maintaining visual interest, ideal for bathrooms, office partitions, and interior design features. Available in various patterns and tints to complement both traditional and contemporary architectural styles.
