Glass

The slight greenish light refraction of this type of glass is caused by chemical additives (diff. metallic oxides) in the glass flow. Its intensity increases in proportion to the thickness of the glass, but it can also change over longer periods during the production. Glass produced in different batches can have quite a different colouring.

The white glass Draenert delivers differs in the clarity, because the greenish light refraction of the standard float glass has disappeared almost completely. The glass edges still show in proportion to the glass thickness and pane size a blue-green colouring, but which is significantly lighter as the fir green edge of normal float glass. The edge colour is not visible on the very small sample panes in the sample case. The proof for standard float glass or white glass shows the view through the glass on a white sheet of paper. With standard float glass the sheet looks light green, with white glass the white sheet remains white.

With special glass lacquers, which will be applied on the underside of the glass pane, we combine the brilliance and clarity of glass with almost every required colour shade. For the colour authenticy we apply in this product line only white glass as base material.
In addition, a special adhesive technology enables, in connection with the glass lacquers, a continuous optics of the glass surface without interruption by glued-on metal support parts. Therefore they remain invisible.

The matt optics, with will be achieved on standard float glass or white glass, results from a special etching method, which abrades the glass surface with gossamer delicacy and therefore becomes opaque.
This etched surface will only applied as used side, as the metal parts cannot be glued on the etched side.
And about fingerprints must not be worried.

For some models of our collection we use coloured glass, a clear, solid by metallic oxides coloured float glass. You can find two shades, grey and brown, but this glass panes will not be produced in every required thickness an at every time. Therefore longer delivery times must be accepted.

For tables of bent glass, cut glass panes will be reheated to 800°C (1472 F), until they will get bent over special negative moulds. Afterwards they have to cool down very slowly toachieve this special shape.
These glasses, which have been produced with great technical effort, have special features, which differ significantly from a regular float glass pane. Ripples, streaks, rainbow-coloured mirror reflexes, punctiform recesses, small bubbles or inclusions as well as fine scratches belong to the appearance of these glasses, especially in the bending areas. Also the edges may show slight irregularities. Caused by the bending process the dimensions accuracy of height and width as well as the angles of the sides are influenced.
These special featuresbelong to this production technology and must be understood and accepted. Also bent white glass panes can be lacquered in all colours.

Tempered glass is a special glass finishing procedure of standard float glass or white glass wand will be utilized on most of our dining tables. It is characterized by an extreme impact and bending strength. It is regular float glass which has been tempered by an additional thermic procedure. Resulting from this, the glass pane will break into small grains which reduce the risk of injury significantly. Big, sharp glass shards may not occur. Disadvantages of this treatment are visible optical inferences like ripples, streaks, rainbowcoloured mirror reflexes, punctiform recesses, small bubbles or inclusions as well as fine scratches belong to the appearance of these glasses. The panes are not always totally plain and also the edges may show slight irregularities. Tables with composed glass tops may show slight differences at the glass seams. This may technically not be avoided from the part of the glass industry. As per our point of view these optical impairments are acceptable in regard to the greater safety afforded
