Product Overview

U glass (U channel glass/U profile glass) is produced by a specialized calendaring and forming process. Named for its unique "U" shape in cross-section, this glass offers exceptional light transmittance, heat insulation, and high mechanical strength.

Due to its structural integrity, it provides a distinctive architectural decorative effect while reducing the need for traditional metal profiles, making it a preferred choice for modern urban construction globally.

Surface Treatments & Options

Pear-grain: A hammered pearl texture providing moderate translucency and excellent light scattering.
Ice: An organic, heavily obscuring texture ideal for privacy in single-glazed applications.
Ultra Clear (Low Iron): Reduced iron content results in an almost colorless glass, highly favored by architects.
Custom Colors: Tinted blue, enameled (ceramic fritted), and sandblasted options available based on RAL/Pantone.

Tempering & Strength

Tempered U channel glass undergoes a secondary heat treatment to raise compression to 10,000 psi or greater. This makes it three to four times stronger than annealed glass.

Safety Feature: When broken, the glass exhibits "dicing"—breaking into small, harmless fragments rather than sharp shards, significantly reducing injury risk.
