Our partner factories in Mexico cover the full chain from float glass to finished unit: forming, heat treatment, lamination, insulation and decoration, all under one brief.
Glass is melted into a refractory mould inside a kiln and cooled slowly, producing thick, textured pieces with depth no flat sheet can match.
Abrasive blasting or acid etching turns a clear surface into a satin, translucent finish. Masks let us frost patterns, bands and logos while leaving the rest clear.
Hot compression forming presses softened glass between dies to give it a three-dimensional shape with repeatable geometry.
Glass is held at temperature and then cooled slowly under control, relieving internal stresses so it can be cut and processed reliably.
Glass is heated close to its softening point and quenched rapidly with air. The surfaces lock into compression, making the pane several times stronger, and if it breaks it shatters into small granular pieces.
Two or more plies are bonded with an interlayer under heat and pressure. If broken, the interlayer holds the fragments in place. Interlayers also add acoustic damping, UV filtering, colour or structural stiffness.
Two or more plies are separated by a spacer and sealed around the edge, enclosing a dry air or gas space that improves thermal and acoustic performance.
A slower quench than tempering gives roughly twice the strength of annealed glass, with better surface flatness than tempered glass. It is often the right choice inside laminated build-ups.
Molten glass gathered on a blowpipe is inflated and shaped by hand or in a mould, for hollow and organic forms.
Designs, patterns, solid colours and logos are printed in ceramic ink directly onto the glass and fired in during tempering, so the image becomes part of the surface.
