· Clear: See-through panels

· Opacity: Etched coating to provide opacity and privacy. Coating simulates the “Frosted” appearance, yet still is easily cleaned.

· Cast Texture: Pattern is formed on the bottom surface of the bottom panel. Textures provide a unique decorative quality to the glass, allowing ample light to travel through, while providing privacy. Choose from our unique “Textures” category.

· Color Finish: Add a standard or custom color, to any of the 3 options listed above. View our “Colors” section for options on standard colors. Custom colors may also be produced if we are provided with a color chip or number.

Nathan Allan takes pride in manufacturing safe and durable products. We will never provide a client with glass treads or flooring items, without an approval from our engineer. Our exclusive and unique anti-slip surfaces exceed ADA ratings. Test results, by strict independent test labs are available upon request. These safety features are to protect you and your clients.

During the laminating process, small air bubbles or air pockets may form. Our professional laminators dictate that any air bubble or pocket, up to a 7/8” / 23mm diameter (size of a 25 cent coin), is considered acceptable and safe.

Typically 3 layers of safety tempered glass, laminated together. The number of glass layers, or thickness of glass required, will be determined by our engineer after reviewing structural drawings of your project.

Polishing Options

Flat Polishing (FP) is a standard feature on all our treads and landings. The edges of the glass are polished before the glass is laminated together. After laminating, the laminate film is trimmed and cleaned to form a smooth bevelled edge.

Features

The walking surface of glass treads must be durable and easy to clean. Nathan Allan developed "Glass Sandpaper", a unique feature that provides extra grip for shoe treads. Glass particles are fused onto the walking surface, to create a permanent bond. Tested in laboratories for co-efficient friction ratings, our Glass Sandpaper tested highly in both wet and dry conditions (product data is available). Unlike other walking surface finishes, that wear off or are difficult to clean, or both, Glass Sandpaper does not erode, yet is easily cleaned. Glass Sandpaper has been designed specifically for glass tread surfaces. Glass Sandpaper is applied by a freeform hand method and the density of Glass Sandpaper per surface per order will always be different.
