Ceramalite is a high quality enamelled toughened glass, available in a range of standard colours, designed for use in the spandrel areas of curtain wall. Ceramalite can also be utilised as a wall cladding product in shower areas and kitchen back splashes. Ceraphic screen printed toughened glass, is available in a range of standard colours and patterns. It can be used both internally and externally to create striking designs, corporate logos and images, solar control and safety manifestations.

2 CeraGrit is a product that gives enhanced anti-slip characteristics to toughened glass when utilised in flooring, stair treads or landing panels . CeraGrit can be applied to either a dot or line pattern. Cerocco sandblasting can be applied to either annealed or toughened glass to create areas of obscuration or defined patterns. A clear water repelling treatment can be applied after sandblasting to reduce cleaning and maintenance. 2 Ceramalite , Ceraphic , Ceragrit , Cerocco, polylite glass processors hansen polylite edge lighting utilises the latest LED and fibre optic lighting technology coupled with an embedded pattern on the glass surface to create stunning visual effects. polylite is ideal for applications such as partitioning, balustrading, shower screens and lift cars. HansenGlass products can incorporate multiple decorative processes from the above range of products.

3 Advantages total obscuration of internal structure or services capable of creating a wide range of visual effects aids solar control available in a wide range of standard and non-standard colours highly durable against abrasion, corrosion and chemicals minimal maintenance no fading impervious to discoloration by internal deposits choice of Insulation to suit performance requirements has a wide range of internal finishes single and double glazed options thermally safe can be used for decoration available as a heat soaked toughened glass Product Description Ceramalite is available in thicknesses from 6mm to 15mm as single glazing or as the inner pane of a ThermoCool insulating glass unit, where it can be combined with a variety of outer panes. Both versions can be supplied with an integral Insulation backing, in the form of either: foam, covered with aluminium foil an aluminium tray, with a variety of surface finishes, containing mineral fibre or foam; or fire retardant type Insulation The U value of the insulated Ceramalite products can be as low as W/m2K.

4 Ceramalite is manufactured by roller coating the glass - already prepared complete with any edge working, shaping, holes and cutouts - with a water based enamelling paint. The paint is oven dried and the glass is then subjected to a heating and cooling cycle, during which the enamel paint is fired into the glass surface and the glass is toughened. When used as spandrel panels , the Ceramalite can be used either as a single glass or in ThermoCool . The enamelled surface is normally glazed on surface 2 (counting surfaces from the external surface of the building) for single glazing or on surfaces 2 or 4 of ThermoCool . 3 Ceramalite , Ceraphic , Ceragrit , Cerocco, polylite glass processors hansenCeraphic is available in thicknesses from 6mm to 25mm as single glazing or as part of a ThermoCool insulating glass unit. Ceraphic is manufactured by screen printing - using a squeegee to deposit ceramic ink through a cloth mesh, which may be masked to form a pattern of ink.

5 The ink is oven dried and the glass is then subjected to a heating and cooling cycle, during which the enamel ink is fired into the glass surface and the glass is toughened. Ceraphic can be used to create striking visual effects for decorative, safety, obscuration and solar control purposes. HansenGlass offer a range of standard patterns and standard colours and can assist in the development of designs and colours in line with the customer s specific requirements. CeraGrit is manufactured in the same way as Ceraphic , except that a grit material, which does not subsequently melt when the enamel is fired into the glass, is added to the screen printing ink. The CeraGritTM product not only offers enhanced anti-slip characteristics but, by utilising the screen printing process, dot matrix or line patterns can provide an aesthetic Appearance in different colours. Cerocco sandblasting can be applied to give 100% surface coverage or masked to specific customer requirements.

6 Cerocco offers obscuration for privacy and security but can also act as a manifestation for safety. PolyLiteTM edge lighting utilises low iron FortPlusTM toughened glass with an embedded surface pattern to aid the spread of light across the surface of the glass. By utilising LED and fibre optic technologies it is possible to create programmable lighting effects in different colours. 4 Ceramalite , Ceraphic , Ceragrit , Cerocco, polylite glass processors hansen Technical Description Dimension Limits 6mm maximum size 4000mm x 2400mm 8mm to 15mm maximum size 4600mm x 2440mm 19mm maximum size (up to 4600mm long or 2440mm wide) 25mm maximum size 8m2 (up to 4000mm long or 2440mm wide) Minimum size 450mm x 350mm Aspect ratio 6mm - 8mm maximum 12:1 10mm maximum 20.

The options are: foam with foil backing mineral fibre or foam in an aluminium tray, either mill finished or polyester powder coated; or fire retardant type Insulation Some of the standard constructions are: (i)(ii)(iii) (i) single Ceramalite with stepped Insulation for glazing directly into a single glazing rebate. (ii) single Ceramalite with stepped Insulation and an aluminium channel to fit an insulating unit rebate. (iii) ThermoCool Ceramalite with stepped Insulation . Figure 1. Some standard insulated Ceramalite constructions Foam Insulation is available in a range of thicknesses.

9 The foam may be bonded direct to the glass with an aluminium foil facing covering the foam, or housed in an aluminium tray which is bonded to the glass. Mineral fibre Insulation can be supplied in 25, 50, 65, 75 and 100 mm thicknesses and the normal method of fixing is for it to be housed in an aluminium tray which is bonded to the glass. The thickness of Insulation material required depends on the thermal Insulation to be achieved. 6 Ceramalite , Ceraphic , Ceragrit , Cerocco, polylite glass processors hansen Table 1 Ceramalite U values Insulation U value (W/m2K) to BS EN 673 type and thickness Single 6 mm ThermoCool 6 / 12 / 6 None - Foam 25 mm Foam 35 mm Foam 50 mm Foam 75 mm Fibre 25 mm Fibre 50 mm Fibre 65 mm Fibre 75 mm Fibre 100 mm Colour There are 8 standard Ceramalite colours shown, with references related to BS 4904: 1978.

It should be noted that where combinations of different glass thicknesses are used, some variation in colour might be seen, particularly with the lighter colours. A true white colour cannot be achieved due to the inherent pale green colour of glass. There are three standard Ceraphic colours: 10% acid etch effect (which gives a similar Appearance to sandblasting) 20% white acid etch Polar white There is one standard colour, graphite, for CeraGrit . Other colours can be supplied, or specimen shades matched, subject to the limitation of the process. The colours specified for non-standard Ceramalite and Ceraphic are assumed to be as viewed through the glass, unless clearly stated otherwise.
