Architectural Glass Products & Solutions

Architectural glass is a series of glass products designed for use in building materials. It can be strengthened using a process known as toughening (tempering), which makes it strong enough to help maintain the structural integrity of the building. It can be curved and bent to fit a variety of custom designs, and our expert team can also use our laminating processes for additional performance and safety and printing capabilities to add digital ceramic images for premium printed glass.

Design Features

There are a number of advantages of using architectural glass in building designs. Its transparency both allows light to enter the building, and provides the outer façade with a beautiful exterior look. In addition to our toughened (tempered) options, our architectural products also have laminated glass options, providing increased strength and durability.

Its strength and durability make it capable of withstanding outdoor weather conditions like wind and rain. Even if toughened (tempered) glass does break, it will shatter into rounded pieces, preventing glass shards from damaging people or property.

Features & Benefits

Aesthetics

Our curving capabilities give you unmatched flexibility in shaping and designing your product. Utilize our 2D or 3D curving techniques to give your glass a fluid, seamless form.

Strength and Durability

The curvature of the glass gives it enhanced levels of strength, maximizing its load resistance and making it better able to withstand pressure and harsh weather climates.

Transparency

Because of its inherent transparency, using curved glass in your project designs increases the amount of natural light that circulates throughout your building. This creates a more pleasant and inviting setting. We have the expertise to select the right bend for any glass product, ensuring that your solution retains its clarity.

Residential Bent Glass

Balustrading Curved toughened (tempered) glass gives new and renovated homes additional light and space that allow for unobstructed views and protection from wind. Structural balustrades require the glass to take handrail loads, so they must use toughened safety glass. The loading on the glass is determined by NZS4203 or AS/NZS 1170.

Curved staircase balustrades Bent glass railings can be used to enhance the aesthetic of a curved staircase, which is the focal point in many large residences. Glasshape produces the tightest bend on a 12mm (1/2″) pane with a radius of just 700mm (28″), an industry benchmark.

Residential bay windows Curved glass bay windows help accentuate the façade of contemporary dwellings. Long, sweeping curves allow for distinctive designs and panoramic views, with the generous expanse of glass enhancing the feeling of openness and freedom, while also letting in plenty of natural light.
