A cutting-edge technique – UV bonding is used to join pieces of glass or glass to metal using a special metal that cures and hardens upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.
What’s created is incredibly strong and virtually invisible. No need for mechanical fixings.
We feel that the real magic of UV bonding lies in its precision and versatility – allowing for the creation of complex, innovative designs that were previously unattainable with traditional bonding methods.
Commercial or domestic – whether it’s for crafting elegant retail display cabinets, unique home décor items, or functional office fixtures, UV bonding glass techniques elevate the potential for creative and practical applications.
* It’s also worth mentioning that UV adhesives often contain fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them a more eco-friendly option.
5 unique features of UV bonding
1. Strength
The UV Bonding between the two surfaces is stronger than the surfaces themselves.
2. Invisible joints
The bonds dry crystal clear, leaving absolutely no visible glue marks.
3. Versatility
Using frosted glass, we can add an even lighting into your creation without the chance of any visible dotting.
4. Customisation
With sand blasting, you can even have your logo or a design on the glass panels.
5. Minimal heat
The UV bonding process generates minimal heat, making it suitable for heat-sensitive substrates.
