U glass for external applications is 262mm wide, has 41mm deep wings and is 6mm thick depth, and can of course also be used internally. The joints of U glass walling are silicone pointed with a minimum joint width of 3mm.
The U glass has a frosted appearance and the textured surface is on the outside face. The surface makes the glass opaque, but is a very fine finish and does not create issues with cleaning or maintenance. The opaque nature of the product does not reduce the daylight transmission.
U glass can be extruded with stainless steel wires which creates a pinstripe effect. The wired style is highly aesthetically pleasing.
Not only is this an attractive feature, the wires also enhance the U glass’s safety performance. If the glass is impacted to breaking point, the wires will reduce the size of glass shards and will also assist in holding part of the glass blade in place.
