Finish
We offer a high quality finishing service, with a range of edging including clean-cut, flat ground, beveling and polishing.
Anti-Reflective Glass
Anti reflective (MLAR) coatings will reduce the reflectance of plain glass by about 9 times to less than 0.5% across the visible spectrum.

Non-glare Etched Glass
 |
Glass with an acid-etched surface finish provides a high performance dispersive non-glare front surface |
 |
|
|
This is a cost-effective solution where signal image quality is not critical. The further the non-glare surface is from the display the greater the image haze |
|
|
|
Using a non-glare etch on the front screen of a CRT display can cause an interference with the light etching on the tubes. This will result in a coloured sparkling effect. To overcome this distortion the screen should be positioned at least 10cm from the display. |

| Windows up to |
1600 x 920mm |
| Standard Thickness (mm) |
1.1, 1.6, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0mm
Other thickness supplied by optical lamination |
Chemically Tempered Glass
|
At least two and a half times as strong as traditionally tempered glass· Five times as strong as un-tempered glass |
|
|
|
It can be ground, drilled and cut without any risk of breakage |
|
|
|
Chemically tempered glass, when laminated, will have a localized break pattern for better visibility |
