Toughened glass is an extremely strong glass which has been thermally heat treated to induce compressive stresses. Tempered glass is being used increasingly in architecture because of strength and safety properties. It is usually installed in areas to reduce the possibility of mechanical or thermal breakage and/or to assure greater uniform load strength.

Best Quality toughened glass is made by using latest technique of forced convection type furnace.

Characteristics

Safety against Burglary,Theft and Vandalism: Basic laminated glass as a glass-PVB-glass sandwich is safe for minor intrusions but it can be further reinforced with additional layers of PVB and using multiple layered sandwich of’GLASS+PVB+GLASS+PVB+GLASS’ etc.to make for increased resistance to attack. Laminated glass offers an almost endless number of possible combinations depending on the number of glass elements and inter-layers,their thickness and their colours.

Applications: Large windows without grills and in shops for jewellery,cameras,electronic instruments etc.

Insulated glass is a pre fabricated unit made of two or more glass panes, which have been separated by an air gap and edge-sealed together. This is also known as double glazed unit (DGU) or Insulated Glass unit(IGU).The two panes of glass are kept separated by a hollow aluminium tube spacer filled with a moisture absorbing material (desiccant) to ensure that the air or gas in the cavity or hollow space between the two glass panes does not escape during hot climate, or outside air is not sucked in during winter or cold climate as a result of expansion & contraction of trapped dry air or gas due to change in temperature.

Applications: Windows, doors, facades etc.

Characteristics

The increasing occurrence of attacks has led many companies to develop laminated glass specially formulatedandtestedtoprotectpeople.Accordingto thetypeofweaponandammunition,andthedegree of protection required, these laminated glasses vary inthicknessandComposition.

Applications: Cashier counter in banks, post offices, embassies, ministries, police stations, nuclear centres, military installations, high security vehicles and cash carrying vans etc.

J.K. International is well equipped with latest technique of forced convection heating for producing best toughenedglass,low-end reflective glasses along with infra red heated glass auto clave for producing best quality laminated glass.For all type of technical guide of glass,please refer to” Architectural Glass Guide”,by Honourable Prof.Sharanjit Singh.”

Laminated glass is two or more panes of glass with one or more layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sandwiched between them and treated. This sandwich has some unique advantages. The outer glass surfaces are hard and transparent but are strongly bonded to a transparent rubber like material on the inner surfaces of the sandwich. The glass panes can be basic float glass or tempered or heat strengthened panels. If the glass is broken, fragments remain strongly adhered to the PVB inter layer there by nearly eliminating therisk of injury from glass and helping to resist further impact or weather damageas it does not generally fallout of the fixing.The most common use of laminated glass is for the front windscreens of all cars.

Best quality Laminated glass is made by PVB with autoclaving technology.
