AGC introduces new KRYSTAL INTERIORS™ glass family
AGC Glass Company North America has introduced Krystal Interiors™, a new family of decorative glass using revolutionary ultratransparent Krystal Klear™ low-iron glass as the base for this design-focused line. With the introduction of Krystal Interiors, AGC now offers the widest range of interior glass products on the market, ideal for a wide range of commercial, residential and specialty glass applications.
“Because we utilize premium raw materials and an innovative manufacturing process, the low-iron formula of Krystal Klear delivers a product that is ultratransparent and free of the greenish tint that is evident in traditional float glass,” says John Rarick, AGC Glass Company North America’s Marketing, Building Products Group. “The virtually colorless appearance enables Krystal Klear glass to produce clearer clears, truer colors and distinctive patterns without dulling or distorting the color spectrum. These benefits give designers the creative flexibility and freedom to use glass in their projects that they’ve never had before.”
The design benefits of ultratransparent Krystal Klear and its neutral edge color are appreciated most in interiors such as partitions, railings, shelving, frameless doors and shower doors. In applications where personal safety or security is a concern, the outstanding clarity of Krystal Klear glass allows it to be laminated for safety without sacrificing light transmission. Additionally, insulated units that incorporate Krystal Klear glass can benefit from the increased light transmission.
Another product in the family, Krystal Patterns™, features a choice of 12 distinctive patterns embedded in ultratransparent Krystal Klear low-iron glass. Each distinctive pattern is created to allow designers the ability to separate space while sharing light. Offering the highest light transmission of any rolled glass product, each unique pattern provides an ideal level of privacy without dimming the interior or sacrificing light level. The beautiful neutral edge color of Krystal Patterns is ideal for many frameless applications such as shower doors, tub enclosures, interior partitions, translucent door and window treatments, foyers, vestibules, patio furniture, shelving and decorative furniture. Krystal Patterns is available in a variety of thicknesses.
Finally, utilizing Krystal Klear low-iron glass as the base, Krystal Kolours™ is coated with a premium quality, technologically advanced enamel to produce a range of brilliant, opaque colors. This coating process delivers an exceptionally uniform, finished product, making Krystal Kolours perfect for large areas. Ideal for furniture, wall cladding, sliding doors, shelving, display cases and writing boards, Krystal Kolours are available in 10 expressive colors.
