On one side or both, the Catedral® printed glasses have a decorative texture that
transmits light diffusely and prevents clear vision, providing different degrees of
translucence and privacy according to the pattern.
They offer a wide range of possibilities in architecture and decoration only limited by the
user's imagination. Its main applications are: doors and windows, room dividers, table tops
and shelves, ceilings, stained glass, lattice pallets, and any application that required a glass
that provides visual privacy and light transmission.
When used for decorative purposes and for privacy, it is recommended that before you
make a decision, you compare different patterns to choose the appropriate design. It is
applied in areas where glass is susceptible to human impact, so the criteria of practice
recommended by IRAM Standard 12595 should be taken into account.
It is a translucent, colorless glass, to which a steel wire mesh has been incorporated during its manufacture so that, in case of breakage, it can temporary support the glass panel, preventing glass fragments from falling. One of the most significant properties of wired glass is that it delays the propagation of fire. Traditionally used in industrial buildings, wired glass is also applied to residential roofs and parapets, schools, hospitals and public buildings in general.
It has been developed to protect films, pictures and photographs. The lightly textured
surfaces of diffuse glass attenuate the discomfort usually caused by glare on a glass with
shiny sides. As the mail choice for frame manufacturers and art galleries, diffuse glass
presents a delicate matte finish that allows a clear view, minimizing the reflection of lamps
and natural light sources on the surface.
