Insulating glass panel MASTERGLASS®

acousticthermo-acoustic insulatinglaminated

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
MASTERGLASS® is a range of textured printed architectural glass produced by rolling molten glass between engraved cylinders to create geometrical surface textures. Each pane has one smooth face and one engraved face, offering controlled light diffusion, visual privacy and compatibility with safety treatments such as tempering or lamination.

BENEFITS & APPLICATIONS
MASTERGLASS® combines decorative appearance with functional performance for residential, commercial and contract projects. Typical applications include:

• Furniture: decorative panels for desks, tables, countertops and shelving.
• Structural installations: fixed and sliding partitions, shower and bath walls, interior glazed doors and framed entrance doors.
• Architectural glazing: windows, façade glazing and interior/exterior guardrails.

APPEARANCE
MASTERGLASS® presents a satin-like, smooth surface on one side and an engraved textured face on the other, providing soft diffusion of light and variable translucency depending on viewing distance and pattern.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
RANGE
Available in 4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm thicknesses, with sizes varying by pattern. The range comprises four architectural patterns including the award-winning MASTER-SOFT®.

Patterns

• MASTER-SOFT®: gentle texture with a fine grain that diffuses background details progressively with distance.
• MASTER-CARRÉ®: grid of small squares on a matte textured field, adding geometric precision to perspectives.
• MASTER-LIGNE®: parallel glossy stripes on a matte background, offering a balanced linear rhythm between transparency and opacity.
• MASTER-POINT®: pattern of shiny dots that suspends light and creates a diffuse halo effect.

PROCESSING
MASTERGLASS® panels can be processed to meet design and safety requirements. Cutting must preserve pattern orientation and consistency. Typical processing options include:

• Aesthetic shaping: moulding or contouring to enhance visual effects.
• Safety enhancement: tempering where required; suitability for laminated configurations (consult local guidance for laminated options).
• Thermal insulation: integration into double glazing units.
• Acoustic performance: use in STADIP® SILENCE acoustic laminated panels within IGUs for improved noise reduction.

INSTALLATION
Installation must comply with applicable standards and regulations. Correct orientation and consistent alignment of patterned panes are essential for a seamless visual result; precise handling and mounting are recommended.

PERFORMANCE
LIGHT TRANSMITTANCE
MASTER-CARRÉ® in 4 mm has a light transmittance of 87% (values for other patterns and thicknesses available on request).
