Edge Enamelled Glass

Edge Enamelling – Redefining Glass Finishes

At Crystal Units, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. With Edge Enamelling, we’ve introduced a truly exclusive finish to the UK market, raising the standard for high-end glazing. Designed for projects where a flawless visual edge is just as important as performance, Edge Enamelling provides architects, contractors, and developers with a unique solution that stands apart.

What is Edge Enamelling?

Edge Enamelling is a specialist glass finishing technique that creates a clean, crisp border around insulating glass units (IGUs). By eliminating the need for visible spacer lines, foil taping, or unsightly site-applied masking, Edge Enamelling delivers a seamless, factory-controlled finish that elevates the aesthetic appeal of glazing.

Unlike traditional edge treatments, this process ensures that every panel arrives on-site with a ready-to-install premium finish, removing the need for temporary coverings or additional work during installation.

Why Edge Enamelling is a Game-Changer

In today’s competitive construction and architectural glazing market, every detail counts. Edge Enamelling is more than just a finishing option—it’s a powerful tool that helps secure top-end contracts and ensures lasting satisfaction.

Here’s why:

  • Unrivalled Aesthetics
    No visible spacer lines or foil taping—just a sharp, consistent edge finish. Ideal for projects where visual perfection is paramount.
  • Seamless Compatibility
    Designed to work with frameless and structural systems, including curtain walling, spandrels, and bespoke facades.
  • Durability You Can Trust
    Built for long-term performance, the enamelled edge protects against UV degradation and moisture ingress, extending the life of the glass.
  • Efficiency in Practice
    With a factory-applied finish, there’s no need for on-site masking or manual edge treatment. It’s cleaner, faster, and delivers a professional finish straight from production.

Applications of Edge Enamelling

Edge Enamelling is particularly valuable for market-leading IGUs like C.U.in, where high thermal performance is matched by a demand for the highest visual standards. Its use spans both residential and commercial projects, including:

  • Frameless glazing systems for luxury homes
  • Structural facades in commercial towers
  • High-spec curtain walling and spandrel applications
  • Heritage refurbishments requiring discreet, sympathetic finishes
