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