Glazing positions
Four positions, four duties.
Thickness on a vehicle is not a preference. It follows from what the pane has to survive and the approval it has to carry.
Windshield
Stone impact at speed, and the one pane the driver looks through the whole way. Optical distortion is held tightest here.
5 MM · 4-BEND · ARAI / E57
Side windows
Raised and lowered thousands of times, and expected to break safe. Thin, curved to the door frame, toughened to fragment rather than shard.
3.5–4 MM · C-BEND
Rear glass
Carries the defogger print and the tint, sits at the shallowest angle to the sun, and takes the whole load of the tailgate slamming.
4 MM · TINTED / CERAMIC PRINT
Sunroof
Horizontal, so it holds standing water and the full weight of the sun all day. The thickest glazing on the vehicle for that reason.
6 MM · TINTED
Applications
What we supply.
C-Bend and 4-Bend profiles come off the Lever furnace, which holds radius and keeps optical distortion inside the E57 limit. ARAI certified for India, E57 marked for export.
Truck & bus glazing
Our vertical toughening furnace was built in India for heavy commercial vehicle glazing. It takes oversized, heavy panels to ARAI and CMVR compliance.
