Project notes
From sample to production.
01
What to specify
Confirm safety construction, thickness, edgework, support, tint and visual quality. The correct specification depends on span, furniture type, occupancy and whether breakage could cause injury.
02
Fabrication & detailing
All holes, notches and edgework are completed before tempering. Confirm support pads, fixing tolerances, thermal movement and safe handling clearances in the shop drawing.
03
Colour & finish approval
Glass tone changes with thickness, background and lighting. Samples should be viewed beside the intended stone, timber or metal and against the final interior light.
04
Care & maintenance
Use a soft lint-free cloth and non-abrasive glass cleaner. Keep liquids away from laminated edges and decorative backings; do not use blades on coated surfaces.
Specification note
This page is a preliminary specification guide. No value, brand reference or material name constitutes automatic compliance. Current product data, test reports, physical sample or slab and the furniture construction must be approved for each project before ordering or manufacture.
