Glass
Optical Filters carries an extensive range of glass available in sheets or custom machined.
Plain float glass
- Cost-effective
- Excellent optical clarity and transmission
- High scratch and chemical resistance
- Can be laminated for impact resistance and safety
Windows up to | 2000 x 1200mm (78 x 47”) |
Standard Thickness (mm) | 0.8, 1.1, 1.6, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 , 6.0mm (0.03, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.12, 0.16, 0.24”) |
Colour | Clear and smoke |
Finish
We offer high quality finishing services, with a range of edging including clean-cut, flat ground, beveling and polishing.
Anti-Reflective Glass
Anti reflective (MLAR) coatings will reduce the reflectance of plain glass by about 9 times to less than 0.5% across the visible spectrum.
Windows up to | 812 x 1270mm (32 x 50”) |
Standard Thickness (mm) | 1.1, 1.6, 2.3 & 3.0mm |
Non-glare Etched Glass
- Glass with an acid-etched surface finish provides a high performance dispersive non-glare front surface
- This is a cost-effective solution where signal image quality is not critical. The further the non-glare surface is from the display, the greater the image haze
- Using a non-glare etch on the front screen of a CRT display can cause an interference with the light etching on the tubes. This will result in a coloured sparkling effect. To overcome this distortion the screen should be positioned at least 10 cm from the display.
Windows up to | 1600 x 920mm |
Standard Thickness (mm) | 1.1, 1.6, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0mm |
Chemically Tempered Glass
- At least two and a half times as strong as traditionally tempered glass· Five times as strong as un-tempered glass
- It can be ground, drilled and cut without any risk of breakage
- Chemically tempered glass, when laminated, will have a localized break pattern for better visibility
Minimum thickness | 0.5mm |
Maximum part size | 400 x 500mm |

Windows up to | 400 x 500mm |
Standard Thickness (mm) | 1.1mm is the standard thickness |
Surface resistance | 4 ohms/sq & 12-15 ohm/sq |
