AAG line of activity involves designing, manufacturing, and installing aluminium products.
Our products and services vary from each project that is undertaken to suit the certain needs that
are required. Some products and services that are offered are through joint ventures or licensing
agreements we have taken from European and American firms.
The following is a list of our products and services:

AAGG – ALPHA Glazing:
Double-glazing units are encouraged on all glass units to decrease energy consumption to create a more quiet
and comfortable atmosphere and a healthier and cleaner environment.
AAGSP – ALPHA Small Projects:
Unlike other companies we not only target the large projects that are available. We have created a team that
oversees small projects. Such projects can vary from one complete villa all the way to a kitchen backdoor. This
department is managed by the same team for the larger projects but taking into consideration limitations to
budget, time delivery, and the final personal touches.
Selection of Different Glass Types
The type of glass and color is one of the most difficult decisions to be made in a building structure since there is
a wide variety of types and colors. Even though some types of glass are restricted to specific colors, to make this
process quicker and more efficient for our clients we suggest that a meeting is held with us during selection. If
the client is not convinced of the quality or the performance of the glass, we are always more than willing to
arrange a meeting with the supplier. Since the list of colors and performance are endless, only a few basic
descriptions of the types of glass are mentioned below.
Tempered Glass:
There are two types of tempered glass, “Heat Strength” and “Toughened.” In both cases the glass panel, after
being cut, is inserted into a high temperature oven to be processed. Toughened glass becomes four times as stiff
as regular glass. And a “wavy” effect is caused. Heat strength glass is only twice as solid as regular glass, but it
maintains its flatness unlike the toughened glass. Tempered glass is also called security glass since it is less
likely to break, and even if it happens to break, it shatters into small pieces to avoid injure to anyone.
Laminated Glass:
Laminated glass is manufactured by inserting a nylon film between two tempered glass panels. It is then inserted
into an oven at a high temperature to melt the nylon film, and a vacuum effect is created where all the air is
sucked from between the panels, causing them stick together and appear as one panel.
The film that is placed between the two glass panels is called PVB, and it is available in several shades of colors
or clear. The thicker the glass the more PVB films are required, and the more PVB films are used the stronger
the glass becomes.
Laminated glass is used as a safety precaution, because once smashed the glass stays intact and in its place.
Laminated glass is most commonly used for balconies and public areas.
Wire Glass:
This glass is relatively expensive and is most commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, etc. The wire inside the
glass is similarly processed as the PVB in laminated glass, therefore giving it similar features. The glass used
may be clear or obscured depending on the client’s preference.
Sandblasting:
Sandblasting can be usually done to any type of glass, and in the case of tempering, the sandblasting is done
first. There are two types of sandblasting, regular and aluminium oxide. Regular sandblasting does not give a
constant surface, unlike the aluminium oxide. Glass can have any pattern or design (such as company logo)
sandblasted for a more corporate look, a simple interior decorative touch. To make the sandblasting even a
greater feature, a polymar coating can be added which allows the glass to not leave any fingerprints or dirt when
touched.
