Glass: Traditional mining glass is brittle, heavy, and prone to breakage, requiring frequent replacement.
GATGLASS®: Lightweight, impact-resistant, and more durable in extreme conditions, reducing downtime and costs.
GATGLASS® is the superior choice because it offers unmatched impact resistance. Unlike glass, it will not shatter upon impact, significantly reducing injury risks.
Yes! GATGLASS® is monolithic and has exceptional optical clarity, surpassing laminated glass, which can develop distortions and delaminate over time.
The patented double-side coating on GATGLASS® ensures that it resists scratching and wear from windscreen wipers and harsh environmental conditions, offering comparable abrasion resistance to glass.
Absolutely. With glass, mines face long lead times, high breakage rates, and frequent replacements. Polycarbonate’s durability and availability translate to lower life cycle costs and reduced operational disruptions.
Yes. GATGLASS® meets all relevant local and international safety certifications, making it a fully compliant and reliable alternative to traditional glass.
Absolutely. GATGLASS® can be cut to size using traditional timber-cutting tools on or off-site. We can machine GATGLASS® to any shape with customer-provided drawing files or templates and can turn this around in one day.
By choosing GATGLASS®, mining operations can improve safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness while eliminating the challenges associated with traditional glass shortages and lead times.
