Interior Architectural

Glass usage in the country has been growing dramatically over the past decade. We all like our houses and buildings to open up to the environment and be flooded with natural light. Architects and decorators are innovatively using glass for a variety of applications from skylights to partitions, balustrades to staircases and many-many more that make our surroundings look more spacious and beautiful. In the past, this has led to a tradeoff with safety, security, energy efficiency and noise insulation. Recent advances in glass technology show how one can achieve the following:

• Safety
• Enhance lifestyle
• Improve natural lighting
• Improve thermal and acoustic performance of buildings

While glass offers superior aesthetic looks and flexibility in its use and application, the most perceived drawback of glass is strength. This has resulted in forcing both architects and consumer to use glass restrictively in exterior and interior application. However, with recent advances and better technology the same concerns have very much reduced through effective application of toughened glass.  4-5 times stronger than ordinary glass, toughened glass is used traditionally in place of other glass products in applications requiring increased strength and reduced likelihood of injury in the event of breakage.

The building industry and certain manufacturing industries find toughened glass is effective and economical in a wide range of applications. Apart from facade, toughened glass is the ideal choice for interior - both in residential and commercial application such as partitions, table tops, shower enclosures, doors etc.  So one can say with toughened glass it is now safe for people living in glass houses to throw stones at others.  In practical terms, what that means is, where toughened glass is installed, parents needn’t worry about their children making a crashing mess.

The main idea behind toughened glass is to make glass safer and durable by lowering the risk of impact related breakage.
