Glass

Today "Losk" offers more than 60 types of cut glass from its warehouse in Kharkov:

Colorless glass

Colourless glass from 2 to 19 mm thick (AGC Europe (Бельгія), Pilkington (England), Guardian (USA), Saint-Gobain (France), KAVE Glass (Iran), Sisecam (Turkey)).

Float glass is a high quality transparent glass with plane-parallel surfaces and is used for glazing doors, windows, entrance walls and portals, external building shells, showcases, interior partitions, furniture and other places where high light transmission and aesthetic design of the glazed surface are required.

In the production process, float glass enters the furnace in a horizontal plane and is drawn through the bath with molten tin in the form of a flat ribbon, followed by cooling to cutting temperature. As a result of passing through the tin bath, the glass is polished and becomes perfectly flat. Clear glass produced by the float process is therefore called polished glass. The float method enables the production of glass with no mechanical or optical defects and a stable thickness (from 2 to 25 mm).

Glass tinted in bulk

Tinted glass from 4 to 10 mm thick (AGC Europe (Бельгія), Pilkington, Guardian, Saint-Gobain, KAVE Glass, Sisecam).

History knows two ways of glass spraying. In the pyrolytic (in-line) process, the glass is sprayed during the flat glass production process. In the non-continuous process, the spraying is done after the glass is made, using a vacuum-magnetron installation. The energy-saving property of glass is associated with the application of low-emission optical coatings to its surface, and the glass itself with such a coating is called low-emission. These coatings allow short-wave solar radiation to enter the room, but prevent long-wave heat radiation from leaving the room, e.g. from a radiator (this is why low-emission glasses are also called selective).

The energy saving property is the emissivity of the glass. The heat radiation coefficient is a property of the surface, not of the whole body, and it is the same physical property as density, melting point, etc.

Two types of low emissivity glass are currently in use - hard K-glass (K-glass) and soft coated Low-E glass (I-glass).

A solid selective coating is applied from the liquid phase by spraying onto a hot float ribbon and then annealed. The advantage of this coating is the high resistance of the coating, which in principle allows it to be used outside double-glazed windows, and the disadvantage is a higher emissivity (0.1 - 0.15). They are made up of conductive metal oxides, most commonly tin oxide doped with fluorine.

Solar control glass makes the building more attractive and also reduces the need for air conditioning, which saves on running costs and energy costs. In hot climates, solar control can be used to reduce the amount of solar heat and bright sunlight entering the building. In temperate climates, it provides a balance between solar control and high light transmission.

Solar control glass is suitable for any application where excessive solar heat is a problem: in large greenhouses or glass transitions, in building facades and atriums. All products are available in toughened or laminated versions to meet safety and security requirements and may have other benefits such as noise reduction.

Multifunctional glass allows you to combine the properties of energy saving and solar glass.

Clarified glass

Tempered glass is a specially designed float glass that does not have the tints inherent in standard clear glass.

Lightened glass is an ideal product for a wide range of applications - from commercial facades to furniture manufacture, it is a way of demonstrating true colour and improving light transmission in any type of glazing.

Clarified glass has superior properties compared to ordinary float glass, including increased light transmission and solar energy transmittance (solar factor).

Unlike ordinary silicate glass, which has a typical greenish tint, the iron content of the glass is significantly reduced. This glass is manufactured according to strict requirements for the production process and the quality of the raw materials. This results in the highest transmittance - 91%.

Satin glass

Frosted glass with a thickness of 4 to 12 mm (YORGLASS, Chinese and domestic production).

Frosted glass is produced by chemical etching of glass and has the same field of application as rolled glass. During processing and manufacturing, frosted glass acquires new qualities: heat resistance, strength, opacity, colour stability and durability of surface treatment. The soft, blurred tones of transmitted light rays allow etched glass to be used in a wide variety of design compositions.

Coated Glass

Coated glass: solar protection, energy saving, multifunctional (AGC Europe (Бельгія), Pilkington, Guardian, Saint-Gobain, KAVE Glass, Sisecam).

History knows two ways of glass spraying. In the pyrolytic (in-line) process, glass is sprayed during the flat glass manufacturing process. In a non-continuous process, spraying is applied using a vacuum magnetron system after the glass has been made. The energy-saving property of glass is associated with the application of low-emission optical coatings to its surface, and glass with such a coating is called low-energy glass.

Painted glass

Stained glass from 4 to 19 mm produced by the company "Losk".

Stained glass is a popular novelty in the furniture and construction market.
Recently the use of stained glass has become very popular for creating fashionable and modern interiors and exteriors. It can be building facades, partitions hiding communications in the interior doors for wardrobes and kitchens, kitchen aprons, interior partitions, sliding doors, countertops, commercial equipment, office furniture, or you can use coloured glass to decorate walls, ceilings and many others. . other

The company "Losk" offers 2 types of stained glass:

• Stemalit is a sheet of transparent glass coated on one side with a layer of low-melting ceramic paint, which is applied to the glass during a heat treatment process in which the paint is fused and bonded to the surface of the glass. Paint applied to glass in this way is resistant to external atmospheric and mechanical influences, and also withstands temperature differences over a wide range.
  The colouring process is accompanied by a hardening process, which not only increases the resistance of the colour layer to external influences, but also increases the impact resistance of the glass as a result of hardening. Tempered glass cannot be processed after tempering, which means that stemalite products are only supplied to production in their final and exact dimensions and, if necessary, with precisely defined holes or cut-outs for fasteners.
  Since the colour of the paint used to manufacture the products can be any colour chosen from the RAL palette, stemalite is a durable and effective finishing material. It has good decorative qualities and is relatively inexpensive. Tempered Stemalite panels have high strength and break resistance due to the properties of tempered glass. This allows Stemalite to be used both for interior decoration and as an exterior decoration material for building facades.
  As a finishing material for building facades, Stemalite is used either as a material for decorative wall cladding or as an element of suspended translucent building systems. When Stemalite is used in suspended translucent structures, it is usually used as an element to cover the floors and structural elements of the building.
• Decorative stained glass is glass covered on one side with a uniform layer of paint. The technology used by the company "Losk" allows to achieve constancy and uniformity of colour, high adhesion of paint to glass and environmental safety. The paints used in the production process do not contain heavy metals or chemicals that are harmful and dangerous to the environment.
  Paints and varnishes used in the production can withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees C ° and are resistant to light.
  Decorative stained glass is used in interior design, where colour plays an important role, as well as in the manufacture of furniture facades. Thanks to a moisture-resistant coating, this glass can also be used in bathrooms, although it cannot be fully immersed in water.

Colouring can be carried out either manually or using a special CML Finishing paint line, which allows large batches of similar products to be painted in a short time.

Triplex Glass

Triplex glass (produced by Losk and European manufacturers).

Triplex is a composition of two or more layers of glass. Such glass has good protective properties (in case of breakage, fragments remain glued to the film layer).

The main advantage of laminated glass is that it ensures safety and comfort of people - at work, at home, in a shop, in a train carriage or in a passenger compartment, in a word, wherever such glass is installed.

In addition, Triplex can reduce noise, has increased impact resistance and UV protection.

Triplex is used:

• at registration of entrances and vestibules of public buildings;
• at registration of office partitions and showcases;
• for the manufacture of glass floors, stairs;
• in double-glazed windows installed on the roofs of buildings;
• when glazing trade pavilions and stopping complexes;
• when glazing schools, gyms and kindergartens.

The company has a wide range of glass available, allowing it to fulfil orders in the shortest possible time.
