A.s.a.p Glass

AustraliaAustralia

The most commonly used glass product installed in windows around Australia for a modern and fresh appearance. The glass is produced by floating molten glass on a bed of molten tin at high temperatures. The process creates uniform sheet thickness and very flat surfaces. Breakage creates jagged slithers of glass that fly out or remain precariously intact depending on the impact strength. Removal of shattered pieces is usually difficult and dangerous.



The sheet product has 5 times ordinary glass strength of the same thickness. It is impact resistant and allows large, clear spans with minimal fixing. Breakage creates small and relatively harmless particles reducing the risk of injury. Use sheets where strength, safety or resistance to temperature fluctuations is required.

Two or more panels of float or tempered safety glass are fused together under heat and pressure with one or more interlayers, usually PVC. On impact, it flexes to lessen the severity of physical injury. Broken glass remains intact, acts as a weather barrier and provides partial visibility.
