LappingMany glass products are created from raw material i.e. blanks or slabs. After glass has been reduced in thickness it then requires fine grinding (lapping) to achieve the tight tolerances often specified by customers PolishingSimilar to lapping and sequentially follows the lapping process. The glass product is surface-polished using high quality cerium oxide on a felt bed CoatingGlass can be thin film coated to produce a wide range of effects for use in various industrial and commercial applications i.e. anti-reflective, ITO, and dichroic SandblastingWe have a CNC machine available to decorate a wide range of glass products i.e. diffusers for lighting, patterned household or display shelves etc. Our machine can handle glass up to 2800mm x 1100mm in size. Glass is held vertically using vacuum suction cups. Magnets are located behind a rubber matting to allow steel plates to be fixed onto the glass. This provides a firm positional base for sandblasted patterns and images to be created Clear ShieldThis is a coating we apply to glass which makes the glass non-stick and self-cleaning. When glass is coated in this way, any water will simply run off and carry with it any dust or dirt Screen PrintingWe have a variety of silk screening equipment for decorating glass products. With this equipment we can also print identification and standard markings onto the glass
