Create stunning interior elements with print glass

With photo glasses (print glass, print on glass, digital printing), the only limit is your imagination! You can make “stone planes” or table tops by printing the desired pattern on the back of the glass. You can also get the kitchen partition glass in the “material” you want. Printing can also be done with your own photos.

The image is printed on the back of the glass and there is a protective plastic sheet on the back of the printout. The glass is opaque after printing.

Please note that the photo will be cropped to match the dimensions and proportions of the glass.

All prints are made on special clear glass to ensure the best possible colour reproduction of the photo.

High clarity glass (e.g. optiwhite, clearvision, diamond). This type of glass is often referred to by a trade name, such as Optiwhite glass. Special clear glass is brighter than normal clear glass because special clear glass has a lower iron content than normal glass. In this case, also in the case of a. the colour rendering of the glass is much cleaner, for example, if normal glass is painted white against a background, the result when viewed through the glass is a strong greenish white, with special clear glass this greenish effect is much more muted. This so-called. optiwhite glass can be used for a huge variety of applications, from interior glass to solar collector glass. # low-iron # optiwhite # special clear glass # low-iron glass # glass top for table

Tempered glass (toughened safety glass, impact resistant glass *)

If you want more security than normal flat glass, you can select the tempering of the glass from the menu above. After tempering, the glass is about 3-5 times more durable than untempered glass (excluding the edge of the glass), and when broken, tempered glass shatters into small “vacuum cleanable” pieces, so there is little risk of cutting if the glass breaks. Tempered glass is also more resistant to temperature differences in different parts of the glass (200 kelvin difference inside the glass, maximum operating temperature 300C – untempered 40 kelvin). The edges of the tempered glass are always rough ground (even if ‘Cut with sharp edges only’ is selected). Tempered glass always comes with a little tempering glue in the corner of the glass. *Sometimes tempered glass is called impact-resistant glass. The surface of tempered glass is generally more resistant to impact than untempered glass, but it should be noted that if an impact is made to the side or corner of the tempered glass, the tempered glass will also shatter as easily as normal untempered glass.

Border grinding

If the edges of the glass are still visible after installation, we recommend that you also apply a polish to the glass from the edges menu. In this case, the sharp edges of the glass are ground clean and polished. ready for presentation. Edge grinding also slightly increases the bending resistance of the glass. If the edges of the glass are hidden inside the frame, edge grinding is not necessary. To add to the appearance, you can also choose to have the glass surface faceted at the edge or 45-degree faceted. When facet grinding glasses, if all corners of the glass are rounded with less than 11mm of angular curvature, the facet grinding is done in a straight line and does not follow the angular curvature. Otherwise, the facet is ground on a CNC machine to follow the edge line of the glass, including the rounding.

Table top safety glasses (# tempered glass top for table top)

usually 6mm thick, tempered or non-tempered glass is used. For edge sanding, we strongly recommend you to choose a polished edge sanding. If the surface of the table is light or white, we recommend using special clear glass, which significantly reduces the greenish tint of normal glass. However, the extra clear glass has little effect on the green edge of the glass. For table top safety glasses, we recommend at least a small R2 – R3mm corner rotation to remove sharpness from the corners of the glass (see examples below). If you want to hide the surface of the table, the glass can be painted in the desired colour. Cf. lower Backpainted glass. Glasses painted white, or light coloured, should always be made of Special Clear glass (# optiwhite). # glass plate on table # optiwhite # tempered glass # white glass # print glass # image printing on glass # digital printing

Kitchen partition glass (# partition glass)

In general, 6mm thick tempered or non-tempered glass is used. For edge sanding, we strongly recommend you to choose a polished edge sanding. If the surface of the wall to be protected is light or white, we recommend using special clear glass, which significantly reduces the greenish tint of normal glass. However, the extra clear glass has little effect on the green edge of the glass. If you want to hide the background wall surface, the glass can be painted in the desired colour. Cf. lower Backpainted glass. Glasses painted white, or light coloured, should always be made of Special Clear glass (# optiwhite). # clear glass # optiwhite # tempered glass # white glass # print glass # image printing on glass # digital printing

All-glass portable table covers

Always tempered glass, 6,8,10mm thick, or if you want a more rugged look, up to 19mm glass has been used. # print glass # image printing on glass # digital printing

Examples of the size of corner swivels

R, or radius, is the size of the circle of which the angular rotation is a part. Examples of what corner spinning can be compared to:

• The diameter of a long-playing LP is about 300mm, i.e. radius R=150mm
• The diameter of the CD is 120mm, i.e. radius R=60mm
• The diameter of a 2 euro coin is about 25mm, i.e. radius R=12.5mm
• The diameter of a 10 ct coin is about 20mm, i.e. radius R=10mm
• 3mm rounding (R3) the rounding is just visible to the eye from the corner of the round, but the shape of the glass is not yet substantially changed
• The 1mm rounding (R1) doesn’t look much like a rounded corner, but feeling it with your fingertip you can feel that the sharpness has just about disappeared.

Drilling a hole in glass

You can also order the glasses with holes for your desired position. There are certain regularities in where holes can be drilled in the glass. For example, each glass thickness has its own minimum distances, the distance between the edge of a hole and, for example, the edge of the glass, the corner of the glass or another hole. If the glass is tempered as safety glass (toughened glass) these distances are greater than for untempered glass and the distances increase with the thickness of the glass. There is also a minimum hole diameter depending on the glass thickness.

• Our calculator always automatically checks that these minimum distances are met and that the hole is not too small for the glass thickness.
• The holes are always rough-edged, i.e. the holes are supposed to go “hidden”.
• 6-40mm holes are usually drilled with diamond drills and holes over 40mm are either drilled or machined with CNC machines.
• There is no upper limit to the size of the hole, we can machine almost any size hole in the glass
• The holes can also be flush with the edges, i.e. make a so-called. half e.g. for cable penetrations, etc. or fireplace glass against a round fireplace
• 
• 
• The holes cannot be too close together, but the holes can partially overlap (min 1/3 part) – this will give you longer gaps. (Hole spacers may be machined straight if production possibilities so require)
• 
• If possible, always try to use the same hole size (cheaper)
