THERMO-SAFE GP® FLOAT AND LAMINATED GLASS
CLEAR – TINTED – LOW E
MINIMUM SOLAR CONTROL
Annealed float glass, the basic method of manufacturing normal glass by the float process. Molten glass is “floated” on top of molten tin. The glass cools to a solid state and is further processed thereafter. Patterned glass passes through rollers which imprints a textured pattern on the semi molten glass. Glass Partners toughened safety glass conforms to SABS standards.

Clear & Tinted Laminated Safety Glass
THERMO-SAFE Laminated safety glass is manufactured from two or more sheets of float quality glass bonded together with one or more PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) interlayers. Glass thicknesses are nominal and dependent on the substance tolerance of the glass manufacturers.
Colours- In addition to our THERMO-SAFE clear laminated safety glass, THERMO-SAFE laminated safety glass offers a variety of tinted and reflective glass products. More than one colour vinyl can be added to give the glass a “deep “tint. It is recommended that a thermal stress evaluation is done on laminated safety glass with a high heat absorption, prior to installation.
Incorporating a Low E (low emissivity) coated glass to the inner surface of the glass, coating to be on surface four, increases the thermal insulation of the glass assisting with energy efficiency legislation.

Clear Tinted & Low E Float Glass
Clear tinted and low e float glass, both local and imported, is available in standard and non-standard sizes and processed to specification. We cut glass to size, polish, arris, drill, bevel and toughen glass according to customers’ requirements.
Typical applications: Glazing, table or counter tops, picture framing, interior applications.
| Type | Thickness |
|---|---|
| Clear glass | 2mm, 2.1mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 19mm |
| Tinted glass | 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm |
Clear glass thickness: 2mm, 2.1mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 19mm.
Tinted glass thickness: 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm.
Clear & Tinted Low E Laminated Safety Glass
THERMO-SAFE clear and tinted low E laminated safety glass is manufactured from two or more sheets of float and low E quality glass bonded together with one or more PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) interlayers. Glass thickness are nominal.
A White translucent PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) interlayer can be added to any of the colours to provide obscurity to the glass.
The visco-elastic properties of the PVB interlayer provides a superior acoustic control compared to normal float glass. The PVB interlayer reduces the transmission of damaging UV Rays to fabric or furniture.
A low e coated glass is incorporated to the inner surface of the glass, which increases the thermal insulation of the glass assisting with energy efficiency legislation. The coating must be on the surface of the glass facing the interior of the building.
