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.

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.
