LOW IRON (ULTRA CLEAR) CHANNEL GLASS
Appleton Uniprof™ OW profiled low iron extra clear glass is a design product that has extremely little intrinsic colouring due to the use of raw materials with low iron oxide content during glass production. The look of it and view through it have a clean, pure charm. The colour neutrality of this profiled glass is transferred to all the objects, persons and areas behind the glass they are perceived in their natural colouring despite the ornamental diffusion typical of the product. Also available in a sandblasted version as Appleton Uniprof™ Opal OW.
CHANNEL GLAZING SYSTEM
Appleton Uniprof™ OW offers a translucent linear channel glazing system designed to facilitate the passage of light in both interior and exterior applications. Comprising an extruded perimeter frame and self-supporting cast glass channels with low iron oxide content, it ensures enhanced light and solar transmission. This results in a less green appearance compared to standard glass. Available in Standard Cast, Wave, and Macro textures, Appleton Uniprof™ OW can be further customized with coatings such as Low-E, Antisol, and Amethyst. Additionally, for added privacy, sandblasting options are available.
The Appleton Uniprof™ glazing system includes channel glass, PVC inlay, aluminum profiles, and other accessories.
