Glass off the roll - Thin glass is revolutionising the performance spectrum of glass and glass panes
| Thin glass – as thin as a razor blade or a human hair – is a reliable method to protect smartphone touchscreens, sensitive filters and sensors.
| With the myriad of glass type available now, it is often confusing what to choose in terms of safety, thermal and solar performance and balancing cost with the benefits on offer.
| This blog post was written based on an interview with M.Sc. (Chem.) Santtu Jolkkonen, Sparklike's Service and Maintenance Manager, who has been working as technical support specialist for Sparklike over a decade.
| Glass is a fantastic material… but sometimes it breaks.
| Structural glass can be used as a fantastic alternative to a traditional façade system.
| To provide stiffness, shading and privacy with abundant daylight and a feeling of openness for restaurant extensions and an entrance canopy to a London hotel, we used glass sandwich panels with aluminium honeycomb core.
| Incidents in Melbourne of ‘spontaneous’ glass breakage are more about the construction industry forgetting the lessons of the past than ‘cheap’ Chinese imports.
| When it comes to safety glass, there are generally two options that architects and designers of today will tend specify: toughened glass and laminated glass.
| Glass canopies are a common design element added to homes and commercial buildings around the world, whether they’re new or old.
| Minor edge damage during glass handling, a scratch or nick during installation, a design flaw, or a natural imperfection in the glass could all result in spontaneous breakage.
| With a sophisticated, modern appeal and the long-lasting promise of this highly durable building material, adding a glass canopy over the front door can create just the right finish for your build.
| There are an increasing amount of products available that offer varying degrees of natural daylight and most will be familiar with smaller scale skylights, rooflights or roof windows.
| The façade as a synthesis of building elements, nowadays is the most important building part in terms of performance and architectural design. It is not only the aesthetics that make the façade so significant.
| Skylights are a great way of letting that sunshine and natural light flood into your home.
| The façade plays a major role in a building, as it is usually the largest coherent entity in a building.
| Low-e glass stands for low emissivity, whereas emissivity indicates the ability of a material to radiate energy.
| Natural light is an underrated yet crucial feature in any home.
| Cladding is more than just a protective skin on the exterior of a building.
| Laminated safety glass is an excellent choice for building construction—here’s why.
| Combining white colour effects with impressive strength-to-weight ratio and excellent postbreakage performance
| Digitalization is the essential next step in glass manufacturing. It’s founded on a high level of automation.
