Choosing the Type of Panels

Architectural Glass Panels

Based on project requirements and client demands Glass Panels are planned and crafted.  Clear float glasses used in the panels are available in different thickness, varying from 2 mm to 25 mm in which each variety has a different characteristic.  Most architectural glass already has a slight greenish tint from the iron impurities in it.  The clearest glass with highest transmission is achieved by reducing the iron.  High white glass is usually recommended for specialty applications, like retail displays, showrooms and grand entrances.

Many factors such as visible light transmittance, light reflectivity, sound insulation, ultra violet rays, etc. are considered while choosing the appropriate thickness of the glass.  Percentage of visible light that is transmitted through the clear glass is relatively high, about 81% for a single pane, but can be reduced by adding different types of films available to the panel like security films, graphic design films, privacy films, UV films, reflective films and so on.  Further varieties like tinted, tempered, reflective, laminated, double glazed glass can also be employed.

To install a Glass panel, chosen glass is mounted into a window sash or door stile, usually made of wood, aluminum or PVC.  The glass is then fixed into a rebate in the frame through a number of ways including triangular glazing points, putty, etc.  Toughened and laminated glass panels can be installed by bolting directly to a metal frame by bolts passing through drilled holes.
