Al Etihad Glass Fabrication Company
One of the essential items in modern architecture is Glass. This particular item covers almost 50% all of the external façade of new buildings. Therefore, special attention and treatment was required to this important item as it faced the enormous stress caused by the absorption of solar energy while enhancing safety under wind load. Al Etihad Group deemed it necessary to penetrate this ever growing highly specialized field with full confidence throughout the entirety of the process:
(1) Glass Tempering:
To endure the wind forces of nature, regular glass has to be strengthened by placing it in a special Horizontal Roller Furnace where it becomes 4-5 times stronger than regular glass with the same thickness and the ability to break down into small particles which are normally non-injurious.
Our Tempering Line is a horizontal roller hearth reversible direction tempering lines are of a composite design, comprising two or more types of bending/quenching sections. This enables the production of either single curvature tempered glass for vehicles, or flat/bent tempered glass for architecture, using one machine.
This line consists of two or more specially dedicated quench/bending sections ensure professional quality of each type of end-product utilizing Radiation/convection matrix heating, with clear visual power adjustment control system.
Our tempering line is capable to temper Low-E glass, coated glass, patterned glass, tinted glass, and all other glass types. Tempering of both straight and bent glass.
(2) Double Glazing:
Double glazing in both windows and doors has become standard for homes in the modern world and particularly those in colder or warmer climates. The ability to retain cool or warmth in a room is the major attraction of double glazing.
