Priva-Lum privacy glass ... providing
privacy when required.
Eco-friendly glass launched
01 February 2010
Lumiglass Industries has recently unveiled three new brands of eco-friendly architectural laminated glass — Priva-Lum privacy glass, Blind-Lum double-glazing glass and LED decorative glass — designed to meet requirements of a growing market.
“With the launch of the new product range, we are further exploring the amazing versatility and potential of laminated glass,” comments Sultan Al Zarif, general manager, Lumiglass Industries.
Lumiglass Industries is one of the largest manufacturers of laminated safety glass in the Middle East, and a subsidiary of Glass, wholly owned by Dubai Investments.
Lumiglass’ Priva-Lum privacy glass is an ideal solution for any location in any building where temporary privacy is required, avoiding the need for curtains. LED-Glass, on the other hand, is a decorative laminated glass for external and internal applications in buildings, where the glass itself is internally illuminated by means of LEDs (extremely low-current light emitting diodes) wirelessly embedded in the PVB interlayer and linked into a circuit by means of an invisible clear conductive coating.
In addition to the launch of these two products, Lumiglass has reintroduced its Blind-Lum brand to satisfy a growing market for double-glazing. Blind-Lum is especially suitable for hospital buildings where sterile conditions are vital and where it is highly undesirable to have any dust accumulation on conventional blind-systems.

“Lumiglass has also been witnessing strong demand for its Armour-Lite bullet-resistant glass as well as for its flagship Lumi-Lam architectural laminated glass,” Al Zarif says. “In fact, Lumiglass holds the distinction of being the largest producer of bullet-resistant glass in the GCC.”
Lumiglass’ Armour-Lite bullet-resistant glass, featuring multi-ply laminated glass, is designed to reduce casualties from bullets in the event of an attack, while still providing the aesthetic and transparent qualities of normal glass. Armour Lite is ideal for installation in banks, prisons, payroll offices, airports, embassies, police stations and armoured vehicles.
Lumiglass claims to be the first company in Dubai to attain the ASI (Accreditation Services International) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) accreditations, as well as the first company to attain the ECE R-43 and DOT 80 certifications for automotive glass safety. Furthermore, Lumiglass’ laminated glass is certified to American Standard ANSI Z97.1 and British Standard BS 6206 for impact safety on buildings.
Lumiglass’ impressive range of modern glass-processing equipment includes one of the world’s largest Tamglass autoclaves, a fully-automated Robotech pre-processing line, digital ceramic frit screen-printing, and two Tamglass continuous-carrier bending furnaces.
Since early last year, Lumiglass has procured its entire supply of raw float glass from its Abu Dhabi-based sister company Emirates Float Glass, thus greatly enhancing the local content of its range of architectural and automotive laminated glass products.
