Stepped Glasses
 
 
Glasslite is a stockist and distributor of machined and toughened stepped glasses.
They are a specialist product that are used for a wide range of lights: regressed glasses for inground
uplights - ceiling/wall lights - bollard lights.

In the main Glasslite stepped glasses are manufactured from Extra white low iron glass.
Advantages of using toughened stepped glasses
compared to flat or moulded/cast glasses:
 
• No mould costs, enabling savings when different sizes
  for a large range of products is required.
 
• Extra white glass:
  - Low iron oxide glass with a premium surface
    quality.
  - Extremely clear. It does not contain the common
    greenish colour of standard float glass therefore it
does not falsify colour's and is neutral in lighting
applications.
  - Very high light transmission properties.
  - Efficiency, does not heat up as much as standard
    float glass and therefore offers advantages when
surface temperatures play an important role,
e.g.in ground uplights - in some applications,
(depending on design and construction) the
temperature of the cover glass can be reduced
about 10–20%.
 
• Temperature resistance up to 280ºC.
 
• Higher resistance to thermal shock.
 
• Higher precision processing.
 
• Higher mechanical stability.
 
• Step shaped glass seals with the fitting in one
  plane, resulting in superior seal and IP ratings.
 
• Glasses can be finished with anti-slip surface print,
  logos/patterns.
 
• Extra white stepped glass thicknesses:
  5-6-8-10-12-15-19mm.
 
• Processed in a wide variety of shapes and sizes
  to meet specific requirements.
   
• Technical assistance can be provided from
  development to final product - temperature and load
testing.
   
• Machined standard and special support
  components.
