» TUFFX SUPPLIED 89 panels – a total of 145m2 – of 21.5mm EVA toughened and laminated safety glass for a substantial high-end glass stairway in a business premises in the South East of England . The glass was chosen for both its quality aesthetic as well as to provide enhanced safety , with the Ethylene Vinyl Acetate ( EVA ) interlayer ensuring robust bonding for greater impact resistance and structural strength .

Complementing the building ’ s glass atrium roof and light glossed marble effect flooring underfoot , the glass stairways

create a dramatic , futuristic vision , with light bouncing around the space even on the most overcast days . Clear sightlines throughout the building from top to bottom emphasise the sense of grandeur and elevation .

To complete the project in time , the finished glass panels – which included drilled holes for secure side fixing and CNC polish finish on the edges and dubbed corners – were needed fast . And TuffX were happy to help make it happen .

“ We ’ re delighted to say this is another tight project that we delivered on time and in full to

a satisfied customer ,” said Paul Higgins , TuffX ’ s Commercial Director .

“ This is a fantastic example of where only quality glass will do , and the stunning finished result is great to see . Furthermore , our 10-year

guarantee against discolouration and delamination means our customers can be assured their glass will look as good as it does on day one for years to come .”
