Kite Glass were selected to supply and install various toughened glass products.
Balustrades
Kite Glass supplied and fitted approx. 110 linear metres of 16.8mm thick LOW IRON toughened, heat soaked and laminated glass to internal and external balustrades - All the panels had polished edges and were drilled for handrail attachment.
The panels have exposed top and side edges and therefore had to be manufactured to very high standards in terms of toughening, edge aligning and laminating.They were glazed into steel base channels using Arbokol. All of the external panels were silicone jointed with the top edges capped with stainless steel.
Three Directory Boards
15.2mm thick (including a 1.2mm white diffused interlayer) LOW IRON toughened and heat soaked laminated glass. All the edges were polished with countersunk fixing holes.
Two Acoustic Screens
