The journey of constructing and building a glass court has a starting<br />
point. Before undertaking the journey, important characteristics of<br />
the glass should be considered, important factors include: quality and<br />
consistence, technical properties, its origin, quality of the production<br />
processes and its long-term influence on our environment.<br />
We know that the following information may be a bit “dry” but we<br />
have had lots of requests asking “what makes the difference?”<br />
We will try to go through the major aspects and make it as<br />
understandable as possible. A source of information is also ASB’s<br />
exclusive glass manufacturer, Saint-Gobain. Also their product<br />
specification/declaration are in accordance with international norms<br />
EN 15804 and ISO 14025.<br />
Product description and description of use<br />
SGG SECURIT is a thermally toughened safety glass. The<br />
toughening process provides a significantly increased resistance<br />
to mechanical and thermal stresses in comparison to conventional<br />
annealed glass. If the glass breaks, it fragments safely into small<br />
pieces with dulled edges.<br />
