- What is GlowgGlass? Light boxes are hanged on the glass and the wire is hidden - this is GlowingGlass (patented). Light boxes are bright; glass is transparent; no wire is seen and no separated supporting structure for light boxes are needed. Every GlowingGlass is unique.
- How does GlowingGlass work? The light box is exactly the same as in signage industry, in which the light device is normally made of LEDs. The electric power of light box is supplied by the transparent inter-layer which is laminated in between 2-piece of glass panels.
- How is the GlowingGlass made? It is laminated by 2 glass panels with the proprietary interlayer in between. EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) or PVB (polyvinyl butyral) is used as the adhesive layer in the lamination which is common in the glass industry. If stronger strength of lamination is required, SGP (SentryGuard Plus) Interlayer is used.
- What is the thickness of GlowingGlass? The thickness depends on the strength requirement and dimension of the glass. For example, normally a 14mm thick GlowingGlass will be used for interior partition, in general. This means 2 pieces of 6mm thick glass panels and an interlayer about 2mm thick. Any standard thickness of glass in the industry can be used for GlowingGlass, such as 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm and 19mm.
- Is GlowingGlass safety glass? Yes, it is "double safety" glass because it is tempered and followed by lamination. Tempered glass has a higher impact strength than annealed glass because it is strengthened by a stressed outer skin of the glass panel, after the tempering process. Therefore, if tempered glass is broken into small pieces of fragment. Laminated glass is safe because if it is broken, the fragment is held by the interlayer. We put both temper and lamination together into GlowingGlass to make it double safety.
- How long is the life of GlowingGlass? The life time is the same as LEDs inside the light boxes under the normal operation condition.
- What is the applications of GlowingGlass? Shop front: signage in malls. Office: company logo at entrance.
- How to fix the light boxes on GlowingGlass? Light boxes are fixed on the glass surface either by screw fasteners which are passing through the holes on the glass panel; or by silicone sealant, double-side adhesive tapes.
- Any limitation of light boxes? The electrical circuit of GlowingGlass will be overall affected by the power consumption, dimension, location of each light box and number of light boxes on it. Please contact us to discuss about the details of your idea.
- Any maintenance of the GlowingGlass? The cleaning is same as regular glass, by normal detergent for glass.
- How do I specify the GlowingGlass? We have a specification data sheet and a full architectural specification. Please contact us if needed.
- What is the price of GlowingGlass? It depends on the dimension, quantity, specification, complexity of light boxes and GlowingGlass. Please contact us for quotation.
