GLASS&SEALEDUNITS CREATING AN AIRY LIVING SPACE »»THE ASPIRATIONAL vision for today’s style-conscious homeowner is a large, airy family living space that’s flooded with natural light. TuffX’s Ambi-Max roof glass helps homeowners create the dramatic stylish living space they’ve always dreamed of. Managing Director Graham Price, comments: “Oversize glass offers a multitude of benefits for both homeowners and installers. Not only that, the cost is often comparable to the equivalent space created using standard glass sizes and muntin bars.” TuffX’s Ambi-Max roof glass lets homeowners create dramatic spaces and because there is no need for muntin bars, a wealth of design options are opened up. Graham says that installers are often concerned that oversize glass means more complex installations, but this is not the case. “Ambi-Max toughened sheets may be up to 4,000mm long, but they are still 4mm thick, so you don’t have to factor a different thickness into a roof design. And because you don’t need to use as many muntin bars, the installation process is a lot simpler and quicker too.” Ambi-Max glass is available in four of TuffX’s Ambience roof glass ranges: Ambi-Aqua, Ambi-Blue and Ambi-Neutral self-cleaning glass and AmbiUltra, an ultra dark tinted glass with 91% solar reflection. www.tuffxglass.co.uk A TRIO OF STRENGTH »»SINCE STARTING OUT IN 2005, Hull based manufacturer KwikTuf has purchased an additional Smartfill-2 from Inagas. “Demand for gas filled units has increased significantly over recent years” explains Operations Director at KwikTuf, Paul Myers. “We strongly believe that the Smartfill machines offer the most efficient and cost effective method of filling on the market.” The Smartfill-2 is an Argon gas filling machine with 250mm touch screen functionality, and the latest technology to enhance control and improve productivity. It is supplied with the Smart Start filling lance, which allows the operator to remotely start the gas filling process by pressing a button on the lance body instead of having to return to the machine. The lance body incorporates an LED light, which on activation of the filling process turns green then red on completion of the fill cycle. Capable of 30 litres per minute per line, the machine is designed for dual line production and is available with data logging and printing as an option. www.inagas.com A bright idea from Glasscraft glass craft performance & quality sealed in Glasscraft AoC level 1 Fire resistant glazing: Single glazing or double glazed units: • GWRC • GWPP • 30/0 • 30/30 • 60/0 • Units available with Screenline integral blinds • Acoustic options with blinds—perfect partition screens • 60/60 Unit 1 Navigation Park Leeds LS10 1EP | www.glasscraftglass.com t. 0113 271 1400 | f. 0113 271 1405 | e.
