Holes are required in numerous fastening systems. This solution makes possible the construction of building elements in which the glass forms flat surfaces not disturbed by construction elements. Making holes also gives the possibility of a wider use in interiors as decorations and components of household appliances. It increases the possibility of creating new solutions of constructions and interior creation by architects.
Advantages
- the possibility of making smooth surfaces with regard to glass facades and partition walls,
- the possibility of constructing “frameless door” systems, \
- easy mechanical fastening,
- the possibility of using glass in every place where holes are necessary; e.g. in household appliances.
Market offer
- in the shape of single formats or double and triple glazing (panes are assembled after fastening the fixing rotools in the holes),
- as hardened glass,
- with chamfered, ground or polished edges,
- in triangular, rectangular and polygonal shapes, arcs and circles;
- covered with silicon coatings and enamelled,
- silk screen printed.

Additional requirements regarding orders
In the case of orders for glazed units or hardened glass with drillings, it has to be remembered that before starting the tempering process, the glass must undergo the drilling process. All details of drillings have to be stated in the order, enclosed as drawings and tables with all the required data.
