Thanks to its cross-sectional shape, LINIT U-profiled glass has excellent load- bearing capacities in c omparison with flat glass sheets, which means that it can be installed in very considerable lengths (up to 7 m, depending on the design loads, wind, snow etc.) without transverse bracing. LINIT U-profiled glass has such high static strength that side braces can usually be avoidedThe result is a facade which provides a maximum of glass and a minimum of frame profile.
LINIT U-profiled glass is produced by combining sand, lime and soda and care- fully recycled glass materials which pass through a modern computer controlled oxygen-fired glass furnace to emerge as a ribbon of high quality molten glass. The world´s first oxygen-fired cast glass furnace makes sure that Lamberts´ glass is the world´s most environmentally-friendly cast glass at the moment.The molten glass ribbon is drawn over a series of specially designed steel rollers to form a continuous glass channel of specific sectional dimensions and surface finish. The endless ribbon of U-profiled glass is then carefully cooled and cut prior to final quality control and packaging for dispatch.
