Stained Glass
Have you ever had a jaw dropping experience witnessing glass artwork in historical places of worship? Stained glass is one of the most important material used in those masterpieces. Simply put, it is a coloured glass used for making objects that allow light to pass, especially windows. When in the molten state, the glass is stained or coloured by adding metallic oxides to it. Stained glass windows are often crafted by arranging small pieces of glass to form pictures or patterns. As an art and craft, stained glass requires the artistic skill to conceive an appropriate, workable design partnered with engineering skills to assemble the piece. KB Glass is here to offer expertise in this area.

Etched Glass
Ever seen an embossed glass and wondered how beautiful it looked? Etched glass is precisely that. Glass etching or French embossing comprises of techniques of creating art on the surface of glass by corrosive action. Sandblasting is another technique used to achieve etching. High pressured air mixed with abrasive cuts the glass surface to create the design. The longer the exposure, the deeper the cut. Engraving and enamelling are often used as a combination with the process to enhance designs.

Buch Glass
Are you one who likes a rough edge? If yes, buch glass is one option you must consider. Buch glass is stack glass which is crafted using thick glass, rough cut and polished edges that sparkle when lit. These glasses can be used as artifacts individually or as a combination with other décor items. Buch glass serve as excellent room dividers and prayer units. The sparkles are sure to give you a magical feeling.

Printed Glass
Do you want your glass to be more than just a surface or colour? KB Glass brings to you printed glass. Customise your spaces with abstract patterns, texture imitation or even an illustration that is printed on glass. Printed glass opens up your options in terms of aesthetics and decorations. A digital glass printer with print heads is used to jet inks directly into the glass. The glass is stationery while only the printer carriage sweeps across the print table, much like your printer at home. Another kind of printed glass is the screen-printed glass which is more traditional. Screen printing designs are created by applying a stencil on the glass surface and spreading ink across the mesh screen. The stencils block areas of the glass allowing the ink to flow only to certain areas thus creating a design.

Glass Blocks
Glass blocks also known as glass bricks are most popular amongst architects for the unparalleled designs opportunities they offer. Glass blocks are mostly manufactured in squares, though they can be made in other three-dimensional shapes. These blocks are mostly used in wall fabrications and obscure visibility. Available in a variety of texture and colours these glass blocks can be used to design multiple patterns. Manufactured as two separate halves, while the glass is still molten, the two pieces are pressed together and annealed creating a partial vacuum and a hollow center. Glass blocks are normally cast into reinforced concrete gridwork such as in restaurants due to their limitation in supporting load.
Product 06
Bullet Proof Glass
Safety first! Made from a combination of two or more types of glass, usually one hard and one soft, the bullet proof glass is made to resist penetration of projectiles. The glass is strong and optically transparent, built using layers of laminated glass. The plastic in the laminate designs also prevents impact from physical assault caused by sharp objects by absorbing energy. It is important high quality of glass from a trusted manufacturer is used for best results. KB Glass is here to provide our expertise in terms of how to keep you safe.

Smart (Switchable) Glass
Wouldn’t you love the idea of switching between different kinds of glass in order to meet varied functional requirements? Smart(Switchable) Glass also known as privacy glass is another wonder technology has to offer. Smart glass technology alters the amount of light transmitted through transparent materials allowing them to appear transparent, translucent or opaque. It can be integrated into windows, partitions and other transparent surfaces. Controlled by remotes, power buttons, smartphones as well as automatic working by light and motion sensors. Available in a variety of colours, thickness and sizes the smart glass is heat and fire resistant. It blocks 90% of UV lights and heat which help regulate temperature, thus making it energy efficient.

Colour Lamination
Colours play an important role in making a structure pleasing both to live and work in. With more than 9999 shades to choose from, KB glass offers you creative aspects for design, safety and durability of glass ranging from transparent and translucent colours to opaque. These are clear laminated glass with a layer of colour added to it. You can achieve stunning results by combining coloured glass lamination with finishes such as kiln forming, sandblasting and colour coating. The type of glass and its thickness will have an effect on the colour you choose. Colour interlayers allow architects and designers to achieve varying light transmissions without compromising on structural performance.
Product 09
Fabric Lamination
Fabric laminates encapsulate the grandeur of fabrics enclosed within protective layers of rich glass. Preserving the charm of fabrics, the versatile, acoustic and decorative nature of the glass makes it most ideal to be used as screens, partitions and cladding. The structural strength and practicality of the glass protects elegant, exquisite woven, delicately constructed artistic fabrics. The interlayers used during lamination help preserve the fabrics from UV rays. While fabric laminates add privacy, it also increases your design and engineering options. As the fabrics are captured in laminated glass, their installation is similar to an installation process of a standard laminated glass.

Laminated Glass
Looking for a structure that is tough, robust and hard to break? Laminated glass comprises of two or more layers of glass that are bonded together using heat and pressure, which as result, do not shatter into sharp shards should an unpleasant event occur. Popular in areas which are exposed to natural calamities due to its ability to remain in its frame, laminated glass makes a life-threatening situation safer as a result of the interlayers which stick together in a spiderweb like pattern. Apart from its use in glass canopies and buildings with the risk of break ins, it is also known to reduce noise pollution since sound waves are disrupted when they pass through the material. Clear laminated glass are glass layers bonded together with a durable and tough plastic.
