Gradient glass

Overview of gradient glass

A wide variety from standard to custom with full privacy control and custom hues

Gradient Glass is available as a standard in white, black, or color. It is a standard in low iron glass. It is available in the following configurations:

Monolithic Tempered
PVB laminated
Tempered SGP
Laminated Tempered.

Applications, Production Capacity & Considerations

Gradient-colored architectural glass
Unique ink technology creates superior fade: ultra-dense and brilliant white at the bottom, then gently fading to clear at the top
Combines a sense of openness and the right amount of privacy
Custom colors and fade configurations are available, including a larger fade, a fade strip in the center, etc.
Light-diffusing, satin-smooth etched finishes available for added privacy
Can be back-painted or laminated to mirror for wall-cladding applications
Maintenance-friendly, durable glass surfaces protect the delicate fade interlayer
Laminated glass provides added safety and acoustic privacy with 4 pt. or greater improvement to the STC

America Standards:

ANSI Z97.1 – Safety glazing materials used in buildings. This standard provides guidelines for safety glazing materials in residential and commercial applications, including tempered glass. It specifies the performance criteria for impact resistance and requires glass to meet certain fragmentation requirements.
ASTM C1036 – Flat Glass.
ASTM – C1048 – Heat-treated flat glass. This standard sets the minimum requirements for tempered flat glass. It covers glass thickness, surface compression, and fragmentation characteristics.
CAN/CGSB 12.1 – Safety or laminated glass,
CPSC 16 CFR- 1201 – The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standard in the United States sets the requirements for architectural glazing materials, including tempered glass. It tests the glass for impact resistance and establishes different categories based on the glass thickness and the drop height required to break it.

Australian Standards:

Architectural – 4mm to 12mm Grade ‘A’ safety glass manufactured to AS/NZS 2208-1996 Safety glazing materials in buildings and 15mm to 19mm Toughened glass.

The Australian/New Zealand standard for safety glazing materials assesses the impact resistance of tempered glass. It classifies glass based on the drop height required to break it and provides guidelines for its use in different applications.
