For interiors:

AIS Décor Lacquered glass

With our lacquered glass range, you can make your interiors look innovative and fresh. This glass is manufactured by applying a special high-quality paint to one side of the glass. With colour and light effects, lacquered glass helps convey a bright and creative appearance for walls and furniture. Enhanced by the glass, the colour brightens up interiors and animates the surroundings with reflections and brilliance. This type of glass can be used in your kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms and offices as well for doors, walls, cabinets, etc.

 

AIS Securityglas

Another glass that can be used within the interiors of your home is the laminated glass. This glass is manufactured by adhering two or more sheets of glass together with a flexible PVB interlayer. The PVB interlayer filters the sun eliminating up to 99% of UV rays while allowing the important visible light to pass through. The bond between the glass and interlayer can absorb accidental human impact. In case if the glass breaks, the fragments adhere to the interlayer thus minimizing injuries to people. This glass also offers people with excellent sound insulation properties.

AIS Stronglas

Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass that is processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments. This process makes the glass 4 to 5 times stronger and increases its strength compared to normal glass. In times of a breakage, tempered glass breaks into small fragments that cause minimal damage to the people. As a result, it can be used for various interior and exterior applications with ease. 

AIS Swytchglas

This type of glass has the ability to alter the light transmission properties that can instantly turn transparent or translucent at the flick of a switch. This glass can be used in doors, windows, skylights and partitions that can provide better privacy and aesthetics.

For exteriors:

Insulated glass consists of two or more panels of glass separated by an air space and an aluminium or other types of spacer. The combination of two panels of glasses and the trapped air is what makes insulated glass a superior energy efficient method of glazing.
