Design Potential
Solid 4mm Copper or Nickel Silver bars with different 6mm glass types can create clear or diffused glazing options by using coloured, acid etched and sandblasted types. Variable combinations of glass and module sizes allow for customised proportions within any opening, additionally size variations within a single unit and the juxtaposition of different glass types and textures offer extra design potential.
