Spandrels - Enamelled Glass is a sheet of clear or coloured glass, one side of which is covered with a layer of opaque enamel fired on at high temperature.  There are two types of thermal treatment for Spandrel – toughening and heat-strengthening and it is available in a variety of refined hues: 48 standard colours for creating perfect harmony between vision glass and spandrels. Even more colours are available under special conditions for orders exceeding 250m2.

 
 
Advantages - Toughening
 
  • Withstands wide fluctuations in temperature
  • Can be subjected to heat shock test in order to reduce the risk of spontaneous breakage caused by nickel sulphide inclusions.
  • Meets following international safety standards: NEN 3568, DIN 1249, STS 38,  BS 6206, NF B 32500, Federal Standard 16 CFR, ANSI Z 94-1.
 
Advantages - Heat-Strengthening
 
  • No soak test is required
  • A superior appearance, with less inherent deformations than result from the toughening process
  • Greater resistance than ordinary glass as its thermally conditioned inner tensions rule out breakage through thermal shock.
  • Heat-Strengthened Spandrel was granted technical opinion no> 6/93861 (France) and complied with KOMO no, k7601/95 (Netherlands)
 
Applications
   
Rendered opaque by the enamelling process, Spandrel is ideal for a whole range of applications, on both the inside and out-side of buildings.

Exterior
As spandrels, where they are appreciated for both the resistance of their structure and their sparkling appearance.  Another characteristic of Spandrel is its low weight compared with most other materials used to mast non-aesthetic facade structures.

 

Interior
As panel lining, for escalator ramps or counters, where it becomes a decorative element.
