From Glass to Shields
Invisible Shields
When we think about glass, we mostly think about it as a barrier between us and the daily elements like rain, dust and wind. But in reality, glass is far more than a convenience. IT IS A DEFINITE BARRIER BETWEEN LIFE AND CATASTROPHE.
This barrier is most often overlooked but most often the only means to survival. When conditions turn volatile, the glass in your machinery or infrastructure ceases to be only a window and becomes a SHIELD. It is the primary defense protecting a life from the forces that threaten it.
At Dezinufy, we don’t only provide lasting visibility. We provide peace of mind knowing your barrier was designed for the identifiable and unthinkable hazards.
We use State-of-the- Art Technology to reverse engineer glass templates to provide you with world class windows for your machines.
Before we jump in and install a “ Quick-Fix” solution like normal 6.38mm laminated safety glass , which is the case from most glass installers, we analyze the situation to ensure you receive maximum Return on Investment (ROI).
- What is type of machine ?
- What is the position of the window to be installed?
- What environment is the machine working in?
- What is the typical risk?
- What is the average frequency of replacement for this specific window?
- Is it low or high impact incidents?
- What is the chain of events like logistics, safety concerns and financial losses should the machine be parked due to damaged windows?
- Is this a high noise environment?

Product News
Automotive
Excavators,draglines,,loaders, dozers and drills are often used in tough working conditions where there is a risk of the glass in the cab splintering. If the screen is broken while work is in progress, the driver may be injured by glass or flying objects.
Our solutions help to provide enhanced personal protection and a reduced risk of unscheduled stoppages which would entail unnecessary downtime costs. The surface coating also provides 99.96% UV protection.
Infrastructure
- Hammerglass INFRASTRUCTURE comprises permanent unbreakable glazing solutions for the modern built environment. Both the low weight and the hard surface of Hammerglass makes it a popular choice not only for new projects but also for glass replacement.
- The use of nanotechnology in its manufacture makes it easy to remove graffiti from the surface and also helps to prevent pollutants from exhaust fumes, oil and asphalt from adhering to Hammerglass as easily as they do to ordinary glass. This surface treatment also provides 99.96% UV protection, which means that the material will not cloud, discolour or undergo any other change in optical quality over time. Its estimated service life is more than 40 years
