FGI provides glass that is limited only by your imagination. Do you envision glass walls? Ceilings? Floors? Glass that curves to the shape of your building? Colored glass? Patterned glass? It is all possible. But it must be safe to be practical. FGI products are much stronger than standard glass. Moreover, they are very resistant to drastic temperature variations. Most importantly, they drastically reduce the chance of injury if they break. It is easy to dream. But it takes strength to turn dreams into reality.
THE STRENGTH TO BUILD DREAMS
FLAT & CURVED TEMPERED GLASS
Tempered glass is the most common kind of safety glass. It is created through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling. This ‘tempering’ makes it four to five times stronger than normal glass of the same thickness. If it breaks, it will shatter into small oval-shaped pebbles, thus eliminating the danger of sharp edges. FGI can also bend and temper glass at the same time, making it ideal for curving curtain walls, architectural focal points and the like. Advanced technology ensures high optical quality during this process. We provide tempered glass in thicknesses of 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm.
LAMINATED GLASS
Laminated glass has exceptional safety properties when compared to single layer glass as it holds together when shattered. It is created by binding together two or more sheets of glass with a sticky and highly tear-resistant interlayer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB). The PVB allows the glass to bend as a whole and absorb impacts. It also stops objects from penetrating through the glass. FGI can make laminated glass in a wide range of colors and textures with unique designs and decorations on the surfaces of the panes. Laminated glass also increases sound insulation and reduces UV rays by up to 99.9%.
INSULATING GLASS
Insulating glass units (IGUs) are more commonly known as double glazing. They consist of two or three panes of glass with at least one low-e coating separated by an aluminum spacer. The resulting hermetically sealed interspace is then filled with a noble gas such as argon or krypton. The primary benefit of IGUs is energy saving. In Myanmar’s tropical environment, they reduce heat gain, glare and increase the efficiency of air conditioning. They also have excellent noise reduction properties.
