Summer temperatures and upcoming holidays guide our imaginations to exotic destinations or adventure travel. Among the most common wishes for dream holidays, itineraries or boat tours stand out.
From speed to freedom, passing through luxury, the world of boating offers unique opportunities to satisfy the needs of the most demanding vacationers.
Standard of excellence
To determine the safety and elegance of both yachts and pleasure boats is the glass. The production activity linked to the nautical sector requires specific technical skills for the development of glass that meet the requirements required by shipyards, as well as exceptional performance standards.
In fact, rigorous tests are carried out to verify the dimensions, thicknesses, hydrostatic resistance, to the impact e on fire of the glass used in the nautical sector, in order to guarantee the maximum safety of each project.
Glass solutions for boating
Yachts and pleasure boats have the following glass elements:
- portholes, windows and walled glass. They must guarantee high resistance to water and wind pressure, with performing thermal capacities. They are composed of thermally tempered and laminated glass with different types of special interlayers.
- Doors and partitions. They give an elegant and exclusive look to the interiors, through the creation of harmonious, symmetrical and bright environments.
Partitions and internal balustrades are made with different types of glass: from satin to colored in paste, to mirrors and printed glass, with industrialized systems that allow excellent results in terms of quality, aesthetics, durability and lightness.
- interior. THE floors and furnishings they are subjected to processes such as anti-slip treatment, screen printing, anti-reflection and scratch resistance to meet aesthetic and safety criteria and to limit wear on the glass itself.
A similar argument applies to the catwalks and stairs, while for i roofs and skylights high performance solar control solutions are required.
- Windscreen and side windows. They are made with both flat and curved thermal tempered glass.
Characteristics and processing of glass
The glasses with high thermal insulation, anti-slip and anti-noise treatments, with the use of solar and acoustic PVBs, offer maximum comfort, thanks to their effectiveness in reducing sound and heat.
The processing of glass intended for the nautical sector requires a fleet of machines equipped with the latest generation tools, from cutting benches to CNC grinders, which allow you to treat special shaped glass with holes, then passing through more particular operations, which require a highly checked.
In summary, glass for boating is a guarantee of maximum customization e production flexibility, two essential elements for the design of high-performance, safe boats with innovative lines.
