On January 20, 2017, Saint-Gobain signed the contracts for the acquisition of the North Rhine-Westphalian plant in Augustdorf (Germany) from Teuto-Glasveredelung GmbH & Co.KG. This facility produces high-quality insulating glasses. The purchase is planned to be completed in March of this year, subject to approval by the responsible authorities.

Glasses can be provided with designs and patterns in different ways. Widely-used are etching or sandblasting methods, with which the glass is frosted and structured. An interesting alternative is processing using laser technology, which makes it possible to design flat glass individually, precisely and extremely flexibly.

Glass is an essential building material in modern bathrooms. Its use as a mirror and as a shower screen it is indeed in wide use, but is a material that can be used far more variably. Aesthetics and function go hand-in-hand and make solutions possible that satisfy all requirements. Whether a limited mini-bath, age-oriented solution or a comfortable oasis, with glass, every bathroom can be (re)designed in a modern, individual and sustainable way.
