Conceived with
both the architect and designer in mind, PFG’s exciting range of patterned glass gives scope for combining functional suitability with decorative effect, whilst emphasizing the brilliant, light-enhancing properties of natural glass.

The decorative effect of patterned glass is designed to obscure a view without noticeable loss of natural or artificial light. These patterns complement, rather than dominate their environment and offer a wide choice of textures suitable for any application.

Availability

PFG Flat Glass products are designed to meet the requirements of the Naitonal Building Regulations, and are available through all recognised glass distributors in a comprehensive range of thicknesses. Patterns may be ordered in toughened form for uses where safety is of paramount importance (except for Cross Reeded and Orbit).

Transmission & Shading

Performance figures for clear patterns will vary slightly with changes in pattern.

Levels of obscurity for clear and tinted patterns:

A = Low obscurity
B = Medium obscurity
C = High obscurity

Clearsight

CLEARSIGHT solves an old problem. Frame a picture, print or photograph without glass, and it is unprotected. Use ordinary glass in the frame and you get protection, but all kinds of reflections that super-impose themselves on the picture and destroy its clarity.

CLEARSIGHT diffuse reflection glass provides the solution by subduing tendencies to reflection without any perceptible sacrifice of transparency. This special use of glass was developed to break up reflection without obscuring the picture. It is now widely adopted by art galleries and picture framers worldwide. CLEARSIGHT diffuse reflection glass is ideal for photographs, prints, watercolours and other flat subjects. Glazing should be not more than 20mm from the picture. CLEARSIGHT adds a new dimension to art at a realistic price.
