Allspec Glass were sub-contracted by Townlink Construction to supply and fit safety backed mirrors to wall surround, drilled for light fittings, encased with mirrors to reflect the structure. The completed piece is a stunning feature in the Guinness Storehouse to replicate the millions of nitro bubbles in each pint.
Allspec Glass completed the Leopardstown Racecourse bar area refit under sub-contract to Duggan Bros. These works included mirror and backpainted toughened glass in panelling wrapping around the entire bar area.
Acoustic glass consists of two or more sheets of glass, bonded together with one or more acoustic interlayers. The interlayers act as a noise dampening core, weakening the sound to give a better acoustic insulation performance than that of regular single panes of clear float glass or regular laminated glass.

Antique Mirror is Increasingly popular in modern interior designs both in residential and commercial properties, these mirrors give a distinctive non-uniform distressed effect which is equally impressive when used as a splash back in a kitchen or as a feature wall.
The edges can be polished or alternatively bevelling will add more impact to a panelled or feature wall.
A glass balustrade can be used in many situations. From stairwells to walkways they can provide a safe enclosure on a balcony without impeding your view.

Crystal View is a frameless glass balustrade system. The glass is fully adjustable which allows for a straight line installation when no handrail is being used. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor installation.

Insulated glazing units more commonly known as a double glazed unit consist of at least two panes of glass which create an internal cavity filled with air or other gas, separated with a spacer bar and sealed.
Available in a variety of thicknesses and glass types to give options such as energy rating, fire rated, acoustic, safety, or obscure. We do not provide the framework but regularly fit double glazing units into existing frames to replace broken or failed units, alternatively we would fit into new frames on site. In a commercial building we have fitted units that are silicone sealed, heat soak tested, stepped, fritted, with toggle systems or integrated blinds.
Contact a member of our team to find the double glazing unit combination that best suits your requirements.
There is a wide range of glass that can be used to give extended fire protection both in internal screens and external windows. Any type of glass that has passed a fire test and can resist the passage of smoke, flames and hot gases is considered fire resistant glass. The performance of fire rated glass products is measured in 30 minute periods for integrity (the ability of the glass to hold back flames and hot gases) and insulation (the ability of the glass surface to remain below prescribed limits). The products that protect against fire are tested either to British Standards or European Standards.
Architects and designers are increasingly looking for solutions to comply with building regulations which aim to stop the spread of fire and enable the safe evacuation of a building within an aesthetic design. It is important to use materials that are compatible with each other and designed to give similar performance to ensure that the glazed system works as a whole.
Allspec only use AGC and Pilkington product ranges for fire glass recognising their quality products and tested standards.
