Glass stair treads
Glass stairs or glass staircases are becoming more and more in vogue. Specialist Glass produce glass components for glass staircase systems; i.e. glass stair treads and glass balustrade infill panels.
Glass stairtreads are generally manufactured using a combination of 10mm float and 25mm float, laminated together. A non slip surface can be achieved in several ways, the most popular being an all over sandblast and ritec coat finish. Another popular anti-slip preference is for grooves to be cut into the front edge of the tread.
General guidance for floors and stairtreads
BS 6399: Part 1
Approximately 1m² is usually considered to be a practical maximum area for each panel - due to handling considerations. The glasses should be installed with the thicker glass ply uppermost, and consideration must be given to the surface finish of the glass.
For more information or a quote on your glass stairs please email to me or call to 008615960361298 any time .

Buleet Proof glass
BULLET PROOF GLASS
Scope: Bullet proof glass is the glass that is capable of stopping different bullet calibers.
Glass thickness ranging from 18 to 60mm in multi layers of glass with PVB to withstand different kinds of ammunition fixed from different arms and distances.

Glass Materials
Clear Glass
Glass is a translucent material allows light to go through. The natural of regular glass has a slight green tone in it especially when looking at its edges. The color of the green tone is determine by the thickness and the size of glass. There are 10 different thicknesses which is for different purpose of use.
2mm = 3/32", 8mm = 5/16"
3mm = 1/8", 10mm = 3/8"
4mm = 5/32", 12mm = 1/2"
5mm = 3/16", 15mm = 5/8"
6mm = 1/4", 19mm = 3/4"
- Windows normally use 3mm to 6mm thick glass
- Interior windows normally use 6mm glass which is installed by using the woodstops or u-channel
- Table Tops normally use 6mm (Someone may use 8mm). If people use it as the table top alone, usually the thickness are from 8mm to 19mm. But most people use 12mm as a standard thickness or some people may prefer to use 15mm to 19mm for luxury.
- Glass shelvings normally use 6mm to 19mm, but it depends on the size and the weight of things that people put on it.
Safety Glass
There are mainly two types of safety glass:
1. Tempered Glass
Tempering is a thermo treatment to an annealed glass. It is normally 6 to 7 times stronger glass. When it breaks, it shatters into thousands of small pieces so that any cutting injury will be reduced to minimum.
2. Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is made by sandwiching a vinyl film in between two pieces of glass. When it breaks, the film will stick the glass together so that any cutting injury will be almost eliminated. The glass are all clear glass, however, the vinyl film in between can be in clear, white, or any other colors. The laminated glass provides an endless spectrum of transparent or translucent color.
Applications for safety glass are: Doors, windows, furniture, railings, shower doors, cabinetry, etc. especially when strength is required and movable panels, ie. swing doors.
Bullet-Resistant Glass is a transparent glass panel which combines the strength and feature of tempered glass, laminated glass and polycarbonate.
