Set to paint
the town
Glasstec, stand C50 in Hall 10
»»REGALEAD WILL BE
painting the town this month
as it takes its specialist paint
range of decorative coatings
for glass, including some brand
new additions, to Dusseldorf
for Glasstec 2016. Stand C50 in
Hall 10 will be dedicated to the
company’s ColourSpray backpainted glass solutions, a range that
underpins RegaLead’s position as
the largest supplier of this kind of
coating technology in Europe.
Guy Hubble, Joint Managing
Director of RegaLead, explains:
“Although not everyone knows it,
coatings have been a core market
for us for a long time. In fact, we
launched our own resin based
paint system back in December
2009. For the first time, glass
companies had an easy-to-use,
mix on demand solution for
painting glass and the ability to
create any Ral, Pantone, NCS or
BS colour thanks to the range of
19 base colourants.This original
ColourSpray Resin is now used
by over 350 companies globally
and makes us one of the world’s
largest specialist glass coatings
provider.
“Glasstec 2016 will be the
venue for another industry first
from RegaLead as we officially
launch two new systems within

the ColorSpray glass coating
range: ColorSpray Aqua (water
based solution) and ColorSpray
Ceramix (ceramic based
coating ideal for architectural
applications).These new
formulations offer customers
the same ‘colour control’,
flexibility, speed and consistency
as the resin paint system and will
further expand the ‘in-house’
glass painting market. In parallel
to these new formulations and
automation, we’ve also extended
our colour matching service.
Thanks to the continual updating
of our ColorSpray Formulator,
unique colours can be matched
within 24 hours.
“When it comes to application,
we’ve got that covered too and
visitors to our stand will see the
new compact auto dispenser, and
a world-first, the unique FastFire
Compact Infra-Red Drying
system, which has been developed
specifically for glass painting
applications and can work either
as a stand-alone for companies
who want to hand spray or as an
in-line automated solution.The
electric medium wave IR system
cuts curing time on water based
paints by over 90%.”

SHOWCASING
INNOVATION
GLASSTEC, HALL 10,
STANDS A50 AND B50
For the third time, CRL will
showcase its large range of glass
hardware and accessories at
Glasstec. Over 250sqm CRL
will not only display its bestselling shower door hardware,
architectural metals and glazing
accessories but also several
innovative products such as the
new 9BL Series Base Shoe for
TAPER-LOC® frameless glass
balustrade system and new Oil
Dynamic Hinges for glass doors.
9BL SERIES ALUMINIUM
BASE SHOE
CRL new 9BL Series
Aluminium Base Shoe is suitable
with 17.52 and 21.52mm
laminated toughened glass and
has been developed for use with
the popular TAPER-LOC® railing
system.
Its innovative extruded structure
makes it 30% lighter than the
standard base shoe, which reduces
shipping and construction costs.
The base shoe is available in satin
anodised and brushed nickel
and doesn’t require any cladding.
For those who prefer a mill base
shoe it can be clad in six standard
architectural finishes.
Designed and engineered to
meet new IBC revisions, it also
conforms to BS 6180:2011
standards and is the only
laminated system pursuing ICCES approval.
OIL DYNAMIC HINGES
FOR SELF-CLOSING
GLASS DOORS
CRL new Oil Dynamic Hinges
for self-closing glass doors have
adjustable closing speed and
offer a great alternative to floor
closers and patch fittings with
their ability to swing in and out
a full 90 degrees and stop at 0,
+90 and -90 degrees. They are

suitable for glass panels from 8 to
13.52mm in thickness and can
accommodate doors weighing up
to 100kg.
This extensive range of hinges
is available in Satin Nickel,
Satin Anodised and Chrome
finishes. It also includes a nohold open option and a high
humidity resistance in damp
environments.
TAPER-LOC®
TAPER-LOC® is a popular,
unique frameless glass balustrade
system introduced a few year ago
to the market. It offers a simple
and fast way to secure glass panels
in aluminium base shoes without
any wet cement or sealants.
It allows an installation time
that is reduced by up to 50%
(compared to usual alternatives)
while still exceeding code
standards. Offering flexibility and
control for accurate installation,
it makes replacing scratched or
broken panels effortless. The
unique horizontal TAPER-LOC®
design allows the system to be
adjusted, dismantled and re-set
with CRL’s exclusive TLK12
Installation/Removal Tool.
