Tempered chipping

Dear All,

May I ask your assistance with regards to our tempered glass? We found out that our tempered glass was chipped off (shell type chippings) on the edge. Instead of having a spontaneous breakage, the glass stood still.

We want to know the reason why it does not break and your recommendations if there is a need to improve on this process. Hoping for your reply. Thank you.

3mm bent starfire glass

I need a company to fabricate some small display items for my company. We provide retail store fixtures. We have a high end retailer we are trying to fine some visual glass cubes with a radius (bent glass). I need a total of 46 in 5-6 week lead time. Would also need a sample ASAP. We are willing to pay for over night shipping charges on both sample and complete order from outside the USA.

Please, if you can help, or know of a company, I would really appreciate the help!

3M BAND

hi there. is there anybody who would share with me the information about 3M BAND. as I have heard 3m band used for structural glasses. it is used instead of bonding. by this band the glass is being bonded to the aluminum construction. it is common in Dubai. any information is highly appreciated. thank you in advance.

Glass breakages after 6 to 12 months of installation

All are of the contention that post installation breakages happen only due to Nickel sulfide. My argument is slightly different it can be due to an installation error and a major factor as something called settling down / deflections to the whole structure. If anybody has similar or difference in opinion or experience Please do join in. Glass spec is 6 mm FT +1.52 SGP + 10 mm FT not heat soaked with four holes and (fixed) non articulated spiders from Dorma.
