Sub-surface engraving - example
Page 12
Sub-surface engraving - example
• surfaces stay plane
• less dirt / easy cleaning
• spectacular and innovative decoration
• 2D and 3D graphics floating inside the glass
Page 13
• efficient coupling out of light with sub-surface engraving
Sub-surface engraving – bistro table with LED lights
Page 14
Sub-surface engraving – panelling with LED lights / LED lamp
Page 15
Sub-surface engraving – office partition wall

Sub-surface engraving – outdoor glass wall (20m)
Page 17
Sub-surface engraving – sunblind / light control
• blinds inside of glass to control light
and daylight use.

Sub-surface engraving – mirror application
Page 20
Examples – surface engraving
• matting and innovative
decoration without dirt
problems (no finger prints!)
• applicable to
- float
- tempered glass,
- mirrors (front- and back)
Page 21
Examples – surface engraving for surface light guide
• efficient and positioned
coupling out of light
• easy production of
special designs
Page 22
Examples – anti-slip surface engraving
• anti-slip laser engraving of glass surfaces
– multiple design possibilities
• abrasion-resistant and hard-wearing
• class R9 and higher possible
(certificate projected)
Page 23
Examples – removal of coatings
• removal of coating with clear or matt glass
surface possible
• efficient and accurate removal of complex
designs
• removal of metal coatings and
powder- or laquer coating
• engraving of conductive coatings

Laser engraving of flat glass
Forecast
• processing of big sized flat glass will get more economic due to efficient
laser technology.
• advantages in processing of laser engraving:
- detailed process control
- reduction of manual work
- high level of automation
• innovative laser processes make new techncal and aesthetic posibilities
of glass processing accessible

The PPG Certified Fabricator Program encompasses an elite collection of suppliers who have
committed themselves to meeting a specific set of standards established by PPG. Members of
the Certified Fabricator Program participate in a rigorous training program on the processing of
all the architectural glass products produced by PPG, including high performance coated glasses
such as the family of Solarban® Solar Control Low-E Glasses.
DDG Glass is the first glass processor in Singapore to be authorize distributors for PPG
architectural glass products and also an international certified fabricator for PPG Low-e
products.
