Topics regarding quality of glass, its processing and its application in building. 

We want to inquiry about something

We are a big factory in the Middle East make a hollow lighting glass, chandeliers parts and metals manufacturing and our work is a handmade.


We want to inquiry about something

1. What is a machine that can help us to increase a level of quality and increase the productivity?
2. Is there small machine can purification the sands? If there how much does it cost?
3. Can your company send to us proficient in crystal glass, who can increase the level of quality?

The Vision Glass Detailer

I am currently writing a free newsletter which focuses on the technology of window glass preservation, maintenance, and restoration. Many billions of dollars in window glass has been wasted by what has been called glass on glass deposits. The silicates in the concrete exterior fascade of high rise structures has been broken down by acid rain over the years. Rain is absorbed into the micropores of the concrete, breaks down the builder matrix, and leaches out the silicates. Which are then deposited via rain drops that dry in the hot sun when the rain stops.

Fogged up display cases

I am hoping someone here can help. I have a 25 foot single pane glass display case that holds 26 flavors of rice pudding. The inside of the case is refrigerated to keep the product cold (which works well), but the issue has become the outside part of the display case. There is a tremendous amount of condesation & it looks like a sweaty beer bottle. I am looking for almost ANY way to resolve this issue. Any ideas? Thanks

Information required urgently

I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find information about any of the following aspects of glass:

- Harvesting/mining/conversion (how to get the raw materials)
- Defects
- Testing (types of tests carried out and what they determine)
- Degradation + preservation
- Compatibiility with other materials
- Fire protection
- Installation
- Recyclability
- Costs comparisons with other materials that perform similar functions

ANY help at all would be GREATLY appreciated, thank you for your time.
