“WIRED” GLASSES (WIRE)

DESCRIPTION

This type of glass is the first and completely successful attempt in the glass industry for a safety product.

While its construction, at the synthesis and melting stage, is the same as that of ordinary glass, the difference lies in the stage where the liquid product enters the coagulation phase.

At this point, a stainless metal mesh is inserted into the liquid mixture, and after cooling the glass remains encapsulated.

It is safety glass precisely because it has the ability to retain, after breakage, and is a reliable solution to fire safety issues.

PROPERTIES
