The edge finish of a glass is important, depending on whether the edges are visible or not or according to certain technical or cosmetic constraints.
The purpose of this newsletter is to let you know about all the edge shaping possibilities for glass intended for industrial applications.
On the new generation train currently deployed on lines D and E of the Ile-de-France RER, the passenger information systems are equipped with high-resistance “Verre Industrie” glass. In the driving cabin, the protection of the on-board instrument screens is ensured by our LSVID anti-glare glass, which has become an essential standard in the railway world thanks to its optical qualities.
Since the Nuit blanche de Paris 2020,
Jeff Koons’ creation “Bouquet of Tulips” is enhanced by custom made lighting boxes created by the Metallerie Philippe Augat and equipped with a very high resistance chemically strengthened laminated glass supplied by Verre Industrie.
Verre Industrie has been delivering the first series glasses for the passenger information system for new M7 trains running in Belgium.
A new success for the antiglare LSVID glass, which became the reference protection glass for information displays in transports (bus, train, tram, bus stop, railway station…).
Chemical strengthening enables to reinforce thin glass, to obtain very strong performance and incomparable mechanical strength.
Our chemical strengthening furnace, in service since the end of 2019, can harden parts up to 2200 x 1300mm.

Verre Industrie has developed an exclusive know-how for the machining of thin glass (>0.55mm) in large size (<3m2).
Verre Industrie supplies glasses for high reflecting visors for firefighters’ helmets on oil and gas sites.
The glasses are curved, laminated, chemically tempered and have an infrared reflecting gold layer.
Verre Industrie supplies this product flat or in tube, known for:
– its excellent transmission in the UV range.
– its very high thermal resistance (up to 1300 ° C)
– its excellent transmission in the infrared range.
