Lumaglass™ Getting technical
U-Shape Profile Glazing
and Lighting Solutions
Lumaglass™ is a simple yet effective concept of self-supporting
u-shaped glass channels and electroluminescent lighting with
various colour options, adhered to the inside flange of the
channel. This is fitted into an extruded aluminium perimeter
frame that enables the creation of many innovative and exciting
architectural designs.
This fundamental simplicity and versatility permits the designer to
create exciting architectural effects that make imaginative use of
internal illuminated partitions, creating a feeling of space,and,
defining stunning external facades.

Lumaglass™ offers:
- World's longest light - length can be up to 7 metres long to
fit current U glass channel lengths, providing continuous
illuminated walls of light
- Environmentally friendly - electroluminescent lamps contain no
glass or gas, generate virtually no heat and consume less than 5%
of energy used by neon and cathode lighting. It also reduces
light pollution.
- Thermal insulation - incorporating a translucent glass fibre
insulation material enables scattering of illuminated light with
excellent W/m2K values
- Extensive colour range - standard lamp colours are either white
or aqua with options to apply any colour gel to achieve desired
colour effects
- Little to no maintenance - the light source itself never
completely "burns out" like traditional light sources; it gradually
fades away over a product life that can span many years
- Practical design process - Lumaglass™ is extremely versatile in
its simplicity with a range of specification variants of colours
and glass types allowing designers creative freedom with little
constraints
- Few components - with a practical design process, we provide a
glazing system capable of being illuminated, curved, cut to shape
or installed to slopes
- Reduction in visible framework- provides clean uninterrupted
lines and a striking appearance
- Internal partitioningor cladding- within the office, workplace
or home allowing excellent light transmission, whilst maintaining
privacy
- Large glass façades - offering maximum levels of natural light
into the building during day time and stunning illumination at
night that can also be animated.
Lumaglass™ can be fitted where many traditional lighting systems
cannot be used in U profile glazing or where high maintenance
accessibility is a concern.U-Shape Glass Profiles.
-
Lumaglass™ is available in two different profiles:
- Normal Profile (NP) system for standard glazing
applications.
- Special Profile (SP) system where the system must withstand
high lateral loads.
-
All glass types are available:
- In a variety of different stock lengths (from 2m to 7m, in 0.5m
increments).
- In a variety of heights depending on the type of installation
(horizontal or vertical; internal or external; anticipated wind
loading).
- With stainless steel longitudinal reinforcing wires, providing
effective safety and security properties to the application.
By varying the profile in width, flange depth and thickness,
the correct profile can be found for every installation.
