GLASS TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESSING

Our 4,000 m² of production and business facilities, together with modern technology, enable us to
operate at a high level. We process approximately 500 tons of flat glass annually.
Below is an overview of our main glass processing techniques.

transparent-glass
  • transparent or float glass
  • low-iron transparent glass (diamond glass, optiwhite glass, ultraclear glass, extraclear glass) without green tint
  • laminated glass
  • brown, green and grey glass
  • ornamental glass
  • etched or satinated glass
  • anti-reflection glass
  • special purpose glass
  • mirrors
  • mirrors and laminated glass also in optiwhite version
Straight/flat polished edgefor glass thicknesses from 2 – 19 mm
Bevelfor glass thicknesses from 4 mm onward
Edge ground at an anglefor glass thicknesses from 4 – 19 mm

Surface finishing – the engraving can be 3, 8, or 10 mm wide.

Lacquered glass plays an increasingly important role in the interior design of residential and business premises. It is also used for glass screens, lamps, etc. It is lacquered with water or ceramic colours.

With water colours we can achieve all shades according to RAL and NCS color scale. Glass is lacquered after processing and tempering in a cold state.

With ceramic colours we achieve greater durability, mechanical resistance and temperature resistance of the painted surfaces. We apply the ceramic colours to the glass with spray, screenprint or rollers before tempering process. The colour is dried and stabilized in a tunnel oven. It is enamelled to the surface of the glass during the glass tempering process at 640 °C. This process is also called glass enamelling.

In order to be able to use glass as a piece of equipment or as building material in construction, we need safety tempered glass. It is used for glass balustrades, stairs, partitions, doors, canopies, showcases, shelves, etc.

If we want a stronger and safer glass, we heat-treat it and get tempered glass. After tempering its strength is increased fourtimes, its temperature resistance is increased up to 120° and its impact strength increases significantly. When broken, it is ground into smaller fine grains.

Laminated glass is manufactured by bonding two or more glass sheets together. In the case of breakage it is held in place by an interlayer between the sheets of glass and thus prevents the injuries of people and objects.

Types of laminated glass are:

  • security glass,
  • sound insulating glass,
  • glass for staircases, floors,
  • glass for balustrades and canopies,
  • bullet-proof glass.

When we want to reduce the noise, we can laminate different glass thicknesses with an adhesive layer of one or more mm.

For glass flooring we usually use a tempered 6 mm glass for the top layer, followed by 2 or more layers of 8 or 10 mm thick glass (depending on the projected loads, dimensions of the glass and mounting methods).

For bulletproof glazing 3, 4 or more layers of glass are laminated together to achieve the appropriate bulletproof grade.

Max. dimension of our laminated glass is 1800×3000 mm.

We create gentle lines and various designs on glass with sandblasting. Special effects are achieved by shading and dispersing the light on glass surface.

We have more than 1500 graphic designs in our library and accept also your artwork in vector graphic (.dwg. or .cdr format).

Sandblasted glass is uniformly treated with our modern sandblasting machine. Full surfaces or precise details can be made and even three contures are possible.

Sandblasted glass can be coated with a special protective coating to prevent the surface from being sensitive to cleaning.

UV glass bonding technology has evolved in recent years and is a modern way of bonding glass. In this process we make joints between the glasses with UV glue. It is a polymeric adhesive that solidifies and becomes completely transparent with UV light.

This process is used for glass cubes, showcases, for joining metal and glass surfaces. We can UV glue monolithic or laminated glass. To achieve high strength of joints we use a pyrolytic UV joint process.

OUR APPROACH

STEP 1

INQUIRY AND QUOTATION

You send us an inquiry, photos, or project drawings. Based on the initial information, we prepare a preliminary quotation with a proposed solution, price, and estimated production or installation timeline.

STEP 2

ON-SITE MEASUREMENTS

If installation is required, we perform precise on-site measurements after the quotation is confirmed. This ensures that the glass elements perfectly match the actual conditions.

STEP 3

PRODUCTION OF GLASS ELEMENTS

Based on measurements or provided dimensions, our technologists prepare production documentation. The glass is processed, and finally tempered or laminated to meet all safety standards.

STEP 4

GLASS COLLECTION OR ON-SITE INSTALLATION

Glass or mirrors ordered without installation can be collected at our location at Podbevskova ulica 3, Novo mesto. Our experienced installation team ensures fast, precise, and high-quality installation on site.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SAFETY GLASS AND GLASS SOLUTIONS

When choosing glass balustrades, partitions, shower enclosures, canopies, or walk-on glass, similar questions often arise regarding safety, pricing, and execution. We have gathered answers to the most common questions related to safety glass and our services.

If you cannot find an answer to your question, feel free to contact us, and we will gladly help with your specific case.

Laminated safety glass consists of two or more glass layers bonded with an interlayer that holds the glass together in case of breakage. This makes it the safest choice wherever there is a risk of falling or glass breakage that could endanger people – for example, in balcony and staircase balustrades or canopies. For each project, we advise on the most suitable solution based on intended use.

The price depends on the length, type of glass, and fixing system. For an approximate cost estimate, we require a description or drawing of the situation, based on which we prepare a quotation. The best approach is to send us an inquiry with basic information.

Yes. For all main solution types (balustrades, partitions, shower enclosures, canopies, walk-on glass, kitchen splashbacks), we offer on-site measurements and professional installation.

We carry out larger projects throughout Slovenia, while smaller projects are mainly executed in Novo mesto and its surroundings. For larger projects, on-site visits and technical coordination can be arranged already in the planning phase.

Lead times depend on the type of solution, project scope, and current production and installation capacity. After receiving your inquiry, we provide an estimated production and installation timeline already at the quotation stage.
