Tinted Glass

Tinted glass offers a versatile and aesthetically pleasing solution for both residential and commercial applications. By reducing glare and controlling light transmission, tinted glass not only enhances the visual appeal of a space but also improves comfort and privacy. Whether you’re looking for toughened glass with radius corners or float glass for windows, tinted glass behaves in ways that make it a popular choice for various projects. With options ranging from grey tinted to bronze, each type of tinted glass is designed to meet specific needs in terms of thickness, shape, and intended use.

Variety of Tinted Glass Options

Grey Tinted Glass: Ideal for reducing glare while maintaining visibility, grey tinted glass is available in various thicknesses and widths to suit different applications. It’s a popular choice for windows in both residential and commercial settings.

Bronze Tinted Glass: Adds a warm, rich tone to spaces while still providing light control. Bronze-tinted glass is often used in buildings where aesthetic appeal is a priority.

Satin Tinted Glass: Offers a smooth, matte finish that diffuses light and provides privacy. Perfect for partial partitions or windows where privacy is essential.

Diffused Laminate Glass: Combines the strength of laminated glass with the benefits of a diffused finish, making it ideal for areas where light needs to be softened without compromising on security.

Wired Glass: Known for its safety features, wired glass incorporates a wire mesh within the glass, making it suitable for areas that require both light transmission and additional security.

Georgian Wired Polished Plate: A classic choice for traditional buildings, this tinted glass option provides a polished finish with the added benefit of toughened security due to its internal wire mesh.

Georgian Wired Cast Glass: Similar to the polished plate version but with a cast finish, this glass is often used in industrial settings where toughened security and light control are essential.

Applications and Use Cases

Tinted glass is highly versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, from windows in residential homes to partitions in commercial buildings. Grey-tinted glass is particularly effective in office environments where glare from screens needs to be minimised, while bronze-tinted glass is often chosen for its aesthetic appeal in luxury homes. 

Satin-tinted glass is ideal for bathrooms and meeting rooms where privacy is paramount, and diffused laminate glass is perfect for creating a soft, welcoming ambience in public spaces. Wired glass and Georgian wired glass are frequently used in industrial and traditional settings where safety and security are a concern.

Customisation and Design Flexibility

One of the key advantages of tinted glass is its customisation potential. Whether you need cutouts, holes, or radius corners, toughened glass can be processed to meet your specific requirements. You can choose the thickness and width to match the intended use, ensuring that the glass not only fits perfectly but also performs as needed. The shape of the glass can also be tailored to unique architectural designs, making tinted glass a flexible solution for both standard and custom projects.

Maintenance and Durability

Maintaining tinted glass is straightforward, but its durability depends on the type of glass and the environment in which it is used. Toughened glass and float glass are both known for their strength and resistance to impact, making them suitable for areas where tinted glass is exposed to the elements. 

Regular cleaning with a non-abrasive cleaner will keep the glass looking its best, and the processing methods used during manufacturing ensure that the glass retains its tinted properties over time. For Wired Glass and Georgian Wired Glass, it’s important to inspect the wire mesh periodically to ensure it remains intact and secure.
