Tempered Glass
The tempering operation includes heating and cooling stages in order to provide compression stress to the exterior surfaces and indirect tensile stress to the middle area of the glasses on the horizontal line. The full-tempered glasses are 5 times more durable than the glasses without any kind of operation. When they got broken, they scatter as partial pieces like really small ice particles not as big pieces. Those scattered pieces are expected to create less damage than the float glasses scattered completely. The tempered glasses which are also known as hardened glasses are a type of safety glasses.
The tempered glasses are used for the areas where the glasses are expected to be broken hard and not to harm consumers when they are broken such as front glasses for the buildings, appliance glasses, automotive sector, shower cabins and bath-tub glasses, furniture glasses, railings, banisters, glasses for balcony closing systems.
Any kind of cutting, drilling or edge and surface operations cannot be applied on the glasses after tempering operations (except sanding).
Minimum size 300 x 300 mm / Maximum size 2800 x 5900 mm.

Bent Curved Tempered Glass
Salt Cam is there for your architecture solutions you need. Producing curved glasses with different thicknesses and sizes from the small curved glasses to the glasses of architectural structures is really easy for Salt Cam. We can produce all kinds of float and curved tempered glasses to the maximum size of 2500x3660. The necessary cutting, drilling or edge and surface operations are carried out before tempering operations and the glasses are tempered as curved in the demanded radius.

Laminated Glass
They are produced by assembling two or more glass plates through a special fixing agent polyvinyl butyral (PVB) layers under heat and pressure. This operation minimizes the risks arising from broken glasses by holding the pieces together if the glass is broken. They are used to protect lives and assets against the external impacts in addition to the injuries arising from accidents. They minimize the risk of getting injured arising from accidents where the people crash on the glasses. They provide security against thee external impacts. They prevent/slow down the attacks with rocks and bats and robbery attempts. They contribute to the acoustic insulation.
They restrict ultraviolet (UV) lights which are the reason for the objects and fabrics to fade up to 97%. They are also used for the double-glazing units, therefore heat insulation is also provided in addition to the safety and security. An efficient heat control is provided with the laminated glasses coated with Low-E. We produce tempered, coloured, curved, bullet-resistant and multi-layered glasses according to the needs of our customers in addition to the standars ÅžiÅŸecam Lamine Cam (Bottle Glass Laminated Glass) products.
The structures needing to use safety glasses are indicated in the “TSE 13433 Glasses – Used in the Structures – Codes of Practices for Safety Related to Human Crash”. As indicated under this standard, those glasses should be especially used for the places where the glass-shattering has dangerous consequences.
For the glazings up to 80 cm high from the ground,
For the glazings from floors to the ceilings,
For the glass doors with joints and for the glazings in the side joints of the glass doors,
For the over-head glazings.
Bullet Resistant Glass
The bullet-resistant glasses are produced in accordance with the EN1063 standards and they are multi-layered units providing protection against armed attacks. The counterattack units are produced, tested and callibrated for the places such as banks, police stations, museums, military buildings, psychiatry wards, jewelry stores where the lives and assets are in subject constantly according to their intended use. The purpose of those products are preventing crimes, dissuading the criminals and picking up the criminal easily after the action.
Contraattack glasses are the laminated combination with main layers of PVB, polyurethane and polycarbonate. The glass plates can be used as tempered glasses when necessary. The total resistance of those glasses are closely related to the properties of the carrier. The contraattack units consist of three categories as the ones resistant to impact, the ones resistant to undesirable passes and robbery and the ones resistant to firearms.
