FAQs
01
Can tempered glass be cut?
No, tempered glass cannot be cut after the tempering process. It must be cut to the desired size and shape before undergoing tempering.
02
What is the difference between low iron glass and standard clear glass?
Low iron glass, also known as ultra-clear glass, has a reduced iron content compared to standard clear glass, resulting in higher light transmission and improved clarity. It is ideal for applications where aesthetics are a priority.
03
Can you provide assistance with glass product selection to ensure it meets my specific needs and preferences?
Yes, our team of experts is available to guide you through the selection process, considering factors such as functionality, aesthetics, and budget, to help you find the perfect glass solution for your project.
04
What is the typical turn around time for custom glass fabrication?
Turnaround time can vary depending on the complexity, fabrication processes required for the project and current workload. However, we strive to provide efficient service and will communicate timelines with you throughout the process. Typically, standard products have a turnaround time of 5 to 15 business days from signed order confirmation.
05
What standards do your tempered and laminated products meet?
Our tempered glass is fabricated in accordance with ASTM C1048 and Ansi Z97.1 standards. Additionally, our tempered products are SGCC certified, providing enhanced safety and allowing our customers to install with confidence For laminated glass, all our products are manufactured in compliance with ASTM C1172 specifications.
06
Can you provide acoustical products for interior partitions and exterior applications?
Yes, we provide acoustical glass solutions for both interior and exterior applications.
For interiors, we offer laminated glass with specialized interlayers that reduce sound transmission while maintaining transparency and a clean, modern look, ideal for office partitions and shared spaces.
For exterior use, our acoustical glass helps minimize noise in environments near airports, highways, or other high-traffic areas, improving overall comfort.
07
How close to the edge of the glass can holes be placed?
In accordance with ASTM C1048, holes must be placed at a minimum distance of 2 times the glass thickness from the edge of the glass to the edge of the hole, and 2 times the thickness between the edges of each hole.
For holes near corners, the edge of the hole must be at least 6.5 times the glass thickness from the nearest corner.
These spacing requirements help maintain the structural integrity and safety of the glass. For special requirements, please contact our team to discuss your options.
08
What is the minimum hole size and radius requirements for glass fabrication?
According to ASTM C1048, the minimum hole diameter must either be ¼ inch or equal to the thickness of the glass, whichever is greater. For internal radiuses and cutouts, the radius should be no smaller than the thickness of the glass.
09
Can you provide CNC fabrication for intricate shapes or holes?
Yes, we offer precision CNC fabrication for intricate shapes and custom designs. Our advanced equipment allows us to achieve high accuracy and detail, meeting the unique specifications of your project.
10
Can you assist in cost advantages for large scale projects?
Yes, for larger projects, we may be able to offer cost advantages depending on the specific requirements and scope. We evaluate each large-scale project individually to determine the most efficient and competitive pricing options available.
