PRODUCT INFORMATION

Low Iron Opacity Glass Stair Treads. The walking surface of glass stair treads should be safe and durable. For this application, Nathan Allan developed “Glass Sandpaper”, an exclusive slip resistant safety feature, designed specifically for glass stair tread surfaces. Real glass particles, which do not easily erode, are fused onto the walking surface of the top glass layer, to create an extra grip for shoe treads. Tested in laboratories for slip co-efficient friction ratings, our Glass Sandpaper produced the highest test results in both wet and dry conditions (product data is available), which allows for indoor and outdoor installations.

Low Iron Opacity Glass Stair Treads for Architectural Glass Projects

Low Iron Opacity Glass Stair Treads. Low Iron Opacity Glass Stair Treads are perfect for clients wanting a privacy visual design. As a result of using 3 layers of low iron glass with opacity finish, privacy is created. Light travels through the glass from above and below, thus creating a warm white glow. For this reason, the glass can be edge lighted or lighted from below. Edge lighting can create a bright effect across the front edge of the glass layers. Accordingly, knowing that this cool product is under one’s feet also creates a sense of awe. Nathan Allan’s Low Iron Opacity Glass Stair Treads also incorporate our exclusive Glass Sandpaper anti slip surface feature. For this reason, our Low Iron Opacity Glass Stair Treads have the highest ASTM safety surface ratings. In fact, our Glass Sandpaper is so effective, it can also be used outdoors.

All Nathan Allan glass stair treads are both safety tempered and safety laminated. Nathan Allan uses thicker glass layers than industry standards. We also use effective laminating interlayers, including DuPont’s extra strength SGP interlayer. At the same time, we also provide professional and expert engineering services. As a result, our glass stair treads are considered the highest quality in the industry today.

Engineering	Our glass treads and floor products will be engineered for your specific project. Our engineer will view your structural drawings of the staircase, in conjunction with the type of glass that we have quoted to you. Approved drawings will be provided upon acceptance of the structure and glass combination, or recommendations will be provided if either glass or structure is insufficient.
Safety	Liquid lamination, PVB vinyl interlayer, or Dupont SGP interlayers 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.
Laminating	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. However, if an air bubble forms, it is typically very small and difficult to view.
Make Up	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 edge.
