Universal Glass Yemen (UGY)

The Premier Glass Processing Factory in Yemen

Universal Glass Yemen (UGY) is the leading specialized glass manufacturer and processor in Yemen, providing state-of-the-art tempered (toughened), double-glazed (insulated), laminated, and smart switchable glass solutions. Operating from our state-of-the-art factory in Sana'a, we supply architectural glass complying with international safety standards (ISO 9001, CE, ASTM) for residential, commercial, and governmental curtain-wall mega-projects.

Specialized Glass Solutions

Engineered for durability, thermal efficiency, and safety.

Tempered (Toughened) Glass

Processed through controlled thermal treatments to be up to 5x stronger than standard float glass. Crumbles into small granular chunks instead of jagged shards if broken, minimizing injury risk.

Technical Specs:

Thickness: 4mm - 19mm | Strength: 120+ MPa | Standards: ASTM C1048

Double Glazed (Insulated) Glass

Composed of two glass sheets separated by a hermetically sealed gas-filled spacer. Drastically blocks external solar heat and reduces environmental noise levels.

Technical Specs:

U-Value: 1.1 - 1.8 W/m²K | Noise reduction: up to 42 dB | Configuration: 6mm+12Argon+6mm

Laminated Safety Glass

Constructed of two layers of glass bonded together with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. Remains intact in the frame even when fractured, providing security against intrusion.

Technical Specs:

PVB Interlayer: 0.38mm - 1.52mm | Security: High Impact Resistant | Standards: EN 14449

Smart Switchable Glass

Utilizes PDLC technology to switch from frosted opaque to crystal clear at the flick of a wall switch or remote control, giving instant privacy.

Technical Specs:

Response time: <100ms | Light transmittance: 80% | Parallel voltage: 48V-60V AC

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes UGY double-glazed glass ideal for Yemen's climate?
UGY double-glazed insulated units block up to 70% of external solar heat while keeping interiors cool. This reduces air conditioning costs by up to 35% in hot coastal regions like Aden and Hodeidah, as well as high-altitude regions like Sana'a.
Are UGY products compliant with international safety standards?
Yes. All our glass processes adhere to ISO 9001 quality management, CE European safety certifications, and ASTM standards for impact resistance and structural strength.
Do you supply customized architectural glass for commercial facades?
Yes. We offer fully custom CNC-cut, drilled, tempered, and laminated glass sizes suited for high-rise building curtain walls, spider fittings, and glass storefronts.
How does smart switchable glass work?
Smart switchable glass uses PDLC technology. When electrical voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules align, making the glass transparent. When powered off, they scatter light, making the glass frosted/opaque.
