Summary
Stretched restoration glass

Description
The stretched glass process, the first continuous process for transparent glass, developed at the end of the 19th century and was maintained by Verrerie de Saint-Just. Its aesthetic appearance is characteristic of historic glass. This glass was widely used together with blown glass throughout the 20th century for the restoration of heritage. It restores the historical appearance of joinery while providing transparency and purity of light.

Applications
It is particularly suited to monument restoration projects that respect a historical glassmaking process.

Advantages

• Preservation and faithful restitution of original glazing in joinery.
• Excellent transmission of light thanks to its transparency and optimal purity.
• Dimensions enabling the production of large panes and the integration of simulated glazing bars.

Technical characteristics
Aesthetic variants
Stretched glass represents the highest standard of transparency among architectural glasses. NOBLE 3 mm features slight, continuous undulations that add brilliance to large glazed façades. NOBLE 4.5 mm amplifies mirror-like effects and the sense of movement in the glass.

Installation

• Installation of NOBLE glass must comply with standard NF DTU 39 and with the specific installation instructions provided on request by Verrerie de Saint-Just.
• The use of linseed oil putties is prohibited, particularly for laminated and insulating double glazing.
