Tempered Channel Glass

Thermally toughened profiled glass Appleton Uniprof™ T is specially designed to satisfy increased safety requirements within common areas of public buildings. This product variant provides greater mechanical strength compared to its annealed version, allowing the creation of large surfaces that are bright whilst also meeting all safety requirements. In addition it allows for longer installation lengths in comparison with standard Appleton Uniprof Heat soaked thermally toughened glass is available upon request. 


Appleton Uniprof™ T Toughen Safety Glass is toughened heat soak tested CCC marked u-channel glass.  The CCC mark has been achieved by compliance with GB15763.2 which is currently the standard for thermally toughened safety glass in China.  This makes Appleton Uniprof™ T Safety glass suitable for use in critical locations where safety glass is required.  Toughening is offered for all Appleton Uniprof™ u-channel glass surface textures in lengths up to 7 metres.  The toughened glass can also be sandblasted for a matt finish or painted.  Appleton Uniprof™ Colour enamelled glass is toughened as a matter of course during the enamelling process.


In order to minimise the risk of fracture from nickel sulphite inclusions, which can cause spontaneous breakages in fully toughened glass, Appleton Uniprof™ T Safety Glass could be heat soak tested in Appleton's heat soak testing chambers, which are specifically designed to test u-channel glass and are subject to regular independent inspection and testing.


Features

Enhanced Safety: Appleton Uniprof™ T Tough Safety Glass is toughened heat soak tested CCC marked u-channel glass. The CCC mark has been achieved by compliance with GB15763.2, the standard for thermally toughened safety glass in China. This ensures the glass is suitable for use in critical locations where safety glass is required.

Mechanical Strength: Provides greater mechanical strength compared to annealed glass, making it ideal for large, bright surfaces.

Extended Lengths: Allows for longer installation lengths compared to standard Appleton Uniprof™ glass.

Customizable Finishes: Available in all Appleton Uniprof™ u-channel glass surface textures in lengths up to 7 meters. Can be sandblasted for a matte finish or painted. Appleton Uniprof™ Colour Enamelled Glass is toughened during the enamelling process.

Heat Soak Tested: To minimize the risk of fracture from nickel sulphite inclusions, Appleton Uniprof™ T Safety Glass can be heat soak tested in Appleton's specifically designed chambers, subject to regular independent inspection and testing.



Application and use in Construction

Facades, Exterior / Outdoor, Interior, Partitions


Advanced Processing

Additional processing options are available based on requirements. Appleton offers a variety of choices including sandblasting/Opal, enamelling, and heat soak.


Options

Raw Glass Selection: Uniprof T can choose either low iron (OW) or clear annealed glass as raw glass.

Coating Series: Coatings such as Citrine, Amethyst, and Low-E can all be tempered. However, please note that wired channel glass cannot be tempered.


Dimensions

In most cases, Appleton's U glass lengths can meet the requirements of the vast majority of projects. The standard length of U glass in our inventory is 7 meters. Pre-tempered outdoor U glass can reach 8 meters, and for longer lengths, custom options are available upon contacting us.

Impact Resistance

The Appleton Uniprof™ T series tempered U-channel glass demonstrates excellent impact resistance. A steel ball weighing 1040 grams dropped from an initial height of 1 meter leaves the glass intact. (Note: The EU standard requires a steel ball weighing 227 grams).

Fragment Impact Performance

The fragment impact performance of the glass is impressive. The total weight of the largest 10 fragments is less than the equivalent of 65m² sample area (113.75g).

Heat Treatment Stability

Appleton Uniprof™ tempered U-channel glass maintains its shape after high-temperature tempering. The verticality of the flanges (z-value) is less than 1mm, meeting high precision standards (the national building industry standard requires a z-value less than 2mm).
