Powder Coating
Powder coating is a high-quality, durable finish found on thousands of products today. It looks great. Is very tough and lasts a long, long time. Powder coated products are more resistant to impact, moisture, chemicals, utraviolet light, and other extreme weather conditions. Plus there is a reduced risk of scratching, abrasions, chipping, fading, and other wear issues.
Powder coatings can be applied over a wide range of thickness. The new Australian Standard, “AS/NZS 4506 – Thermoset powder coatings”, will recommend 25 micron minimum for mild interior situations and up to 60 microns for exterior.
ASG Victoria can powder coat aluminium to just about any colour you can image. Colours choices and finishes is almost limitless, if time and money are not an issue virtually any powder can be produced for any requirement. We use the dulux powder coating colour range. We have provide a link to the this range here.
Anodising Aluminium
Anodising aluminium of an entire aluminium section will add a protective coating, making it resistant to salt corrosion. It looks great, and will not chip, flake or peel. 10, 20 and 25 year warranties available upon request subject to application and location conditions.
Anodising is produced and tested in accordance with Australian Standards AS 1231 aluminium and aluminium alloys – Anodised coatings for architectural applications.
Talk to ASG Victoria about the wide colour range available in anodising.
Choosing the right glass for a project is a crucial part of the design process, as it can affects the design, appearance, thermal performance and occupant comfort of a building. It’s important to identifying key issues at the buildings design stage and find the appropriate glass products to suit specific application and standards requirements.
ASG Victoria currently source glass products from Viridian™ who produce a huge range of glass types.

Below we have included a small description of the most popular glass types used.
Float Glass
Sand, soda-ash, limestone and dolomite is melted in a furnace to create Float Glass. The furnace outputs a continuous ribbon up to 3660mm wide of molten glass and is floated onto a large bed of molten tin. This mixture slowly solidifies to a thickness controlled by the speed it is drawn over the molten tin. It's then control cooled to anneal the glass - ensuring for flatness and optical clarity and enabling it to be cut - maximising its potential mechanical resistance.
Float Glass is available in clear glass, toned glass, high performance toned glass, ultra clear low iron glass and Low E pyrolitic coated glass.
All glass can be produced at a number of thickness.
Laminated Glass Types
Laminated safety glass is made up of two or more layers of glass, permanently bonded together with an interlayer or resin. If broken, the interlayer is designed to hold the glass together. Virtually all glass types can be laminated and the thickness and type of interlayer can be varied to provide safety ballistic, bomb or physical attack resistance. Normal laminated glass can be cut and further processed.
Toughened Laminated Glass is the optimum in safety glass. Two pieces of glass are cut to size, toughened to provide superior structural strength, then bonded together using either PVB or resin as the interlayer medium. This will ensure, if the glass is broken, pieces will be held together by the interlayer.
Toughened laminated glass size cannot be adjust after the productions process.
Toughened Glass
There are two kinds of toughened glass. Fully toughened and Heat strengthened:
• Fully toughened glass is four to five times stronger than ordinary glass and if broken forms small granules.
• Heat strengthened glass has a lower residual stress and is two times stronger than ordinary glass. It is not a safety glass and if broken it forms large pieces.
To create toughened glass, Float glass is placed in a roller, which rolls through a toughening furnace. The glass is heated then rapidly cooled, resulting in the glass retaining high compressive stresses. Toughened and heat strengthened glass cannot be cut and both are resistant to high temperatures but at different degrees (180–250°C).
Toughened glass can be produced at a number of thickness.
Double glazed Units are built-up assemblies where two pieces of glass are separated by a spacer. Triple glazing is becoming more common which is made of three pieces of glass with two spacers. The spaces between pieces of glass can be filled with air or an inert gas, such as Argon. Argon is most common, but Xenon and Krypton are more efficient (and considerably more expensive). The sheets of glass are tempered or laminated for safety, and are generally 6mm thick with a 12mm air space. Finally, the most critical component of the double glassed unit is the desiccant (granules), inside the spacer, which removes humidity from the cavity to prevent condensation within the unit.

Thermal Heart™
Released in 2008 as part of Vantage’s high performance Designer Series, this innovative product range is ideal for those jobs where minimising cold and heat transfer is a priority. Its release coincides with new Government requirements on energy efficiency in homes and growing awareness regarding energy consumption within the broader community.
When combined with double-glazing, the Designer Series Thermal Heart™ windows and doors meet contemporary aspirations for energy conservation and comfortable interior temperatures. In terms of thermal efficiency, this new product range rates 32% better than standard double glazed windows and doors.
Thermal Heart™ products include a glass fibre-reinforced nylon insulator or thermal break between the aluminium exterior and interior elements. This break minimizes heat transfer between the interior and exterior elements. The extra insulation provided by Thermal Heart™ technology allows designers additional flexibility when achieving Building Code compliance with houses that incorporate large areas of glazing.
A comprehensive suite of Designer Series Thermal Heart™ products is offered – awning, casement, and bi-fold windows, hinged and bi-fold doors. Designer Series Thermal Heart™ not only offers excellent suitability for thermal performance but is capable of impressive product sizes allowing the large heights and spans sought by many designers and homeowners to be achieved (doors are suitable to heights of 2.7m).
An added benefit of this range is that the unique thermal insulator jointing method allows a different choice of colour to complement both internal and external colour palettes resulting in one colour on the outside and another on the inside.
