Our Coloured and Stained glass effect artwork's are created using printed or embossed high quality polyester base materials manufactured using UV stable inks. These coloured materials can even be applied to curved surfaces and are guaranteed not to fade, crack or delaminate.
A high performance acrylic, pressure sensitive adhesive product ensures a long life span in double glazed units. Products are manufactured to ISO9001:2 quality standards. Our Bevelled Glass designs are created using the finest float glass which is ground down using our exacting manufacturing process to 1.8 to 1.5mm edges from glass a mere 5mm thick. These beautiful designs are then adhered to our double glazed units creating stunning glass artworks. Why just hang your art on the wall when it can also make up the home itself?
BS5713 / BSEN1279
Polyester powder coated Lead Profiles are used in the production of double glazed (IG) units under BS5713 and also recently introduced in the UK, BSEN1279.
The requirements of BSEN1279 Part 6 are met in our glass art in following ways:
Annex C (normative): Fogging Tests:
Unit manufactured using polyester powder coated Lead Profile can conform to this test method.
Annex J (informative): Adhesion Test:
Regular testing under the operating procedures outlined in ISO9000:2000 are carried out at at our material Suppliers Manufacturing Centre.
The JWS Glass art system has been systematically developed and improved over the last 26 years, and the quality of our products is technically proven under the ISO 9001:2000 accreditation. All our products are suitable for use in insulated glass units and have been tested to comply with European standard EN1279.
Lead has been used for centuries in the creation of traditional leaded lights due to its malleability and ease of use. Our adhesive lead profiles retain these properties and our narrower widths are ideal for creating stunning decorative designs whilst our wider widths are used mainly for designs with straight lines. Our Self adhesive profiles are made with 99.5% pure lead which is modified with a small amount of antimony to improve its weathering performance and surface polish.
A high performance, acrylic, pressure sensitive adhesive ensures a long life span in double glazed units. All JWS Glass art products are manufactured to ISO 9001:2 quality standards and have been tested in units complying with the European standard EN1279. Our coated lead products have been fully weather and age tested to the ASTM-G53-96 standards.
The materials we use to construct our glass art have been used throughout the world in various installations . . . from the heat of the Australian outback to the cold and damp of a Russian winter . . . with no reported failures anywhere, we are so confident in our products we give a 10 year guarantee and an estimated life expectancy of over 25 years on those elements.
