General Company Information
What does Camglass do?
CAMGLASS processes flat glass into architectural glass products for building projects. It supplies tempered and laminated glass and insulating glass units (IGU) for façades and windows, bent glass for curved applications, and ceramic-printed and enamel-painted glass for surfaces that require colour and pattern.
The glass build-up is defined by where it will be used. For example, a façade panel is assessed for wind load, thermal insulation and solar control together, while for balustrade glass the fixing method and post-breakage behaviour come first.
How long has Camglass been in business?
CAMGLASS started architectural glass processing in 1995 as a glass workshop. Today we manufacture for architectural projects on our processing lines. The production steps, from cutting and shaping to heat treatment, lamination and insulating glass unit assembly, are defined by the build-up of the ordered glass.
Which countries does Camglass serve?
CAMGLASS serves projects in Türkiye and exports to more than 40 countries. Greece, Romania and Kuwait are among our published international references. You can browse projects in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and other regions in the International References section of our website.
For a new project, sharing the delivery address and product list allows us to assess the technical documents required in that market and the shipping options.
Which sectors and customer groups does Camglass serve?
CAMGLASS works with architectural offices, contractors, façade and window/door fabricators, glass processors and interior fit-out companies. In façade and window work, the glass build-up, glazing size in the frame and performance targets matter. For balustrades and partitions, impact conditions, structural fixings, hole positions and edge finish come to the fore. In decorative applications, colour, pattern continuity across joints and the side from which the glass will be viewed are marked on the production drawing.
Does Camglass offer custom and project-based glass processing?
Yes. We assess custom sizes and contours, edge work, holes, notches, bending and printing according to the technical drawing. For example, on a panel to be tempered, hole diameter, hole distance from the edges and inner corner radius are checked together with the glass thickness and heat treatment conditions. Mechanical processing is completed before tempering.
Share the dimensioned drawing, parts list, quantities, place of use and any tolerances. For bent and printed parts, stating the radius, bending direction and printed surface on the drawing makes the production assessment easier.
Products and Services
Which glass products does Camglass offer?
Our product groups include fully tempered and heat-strengthened glass, tempered and non-tempered bent glass, laminated glass, digital ceramic-printed, screen-printed and enamel-painted glass, and insulating glass units (IGU). For applications such as balustrades, these products are selected according to the fixing and conditions of use.
It is possible to meet more than one requirement in the same panel. For example, an insulating glass unit can use Low-E coated glass to reduce heat loss and a suitable laminated pane for impact safety or sound insulation. The final build-up is defined by the target performance and material compatibility.
What is the difference between fully tempered and heat-strengthened glass?
In both processes the glass is heated and then cooled in a controlled way. Cooling creates compressive stress at the surface, increasing resistance to mechanical loads and temperature differences. In full tempering, faster cooling creates higher surface compression. Fully tempered glass breaks into small fragments, while heat-strengthened (partially tempered) glass breaks into larger pieces.
For flat glass, EN 12150-1 applies to fully tempered glass and EN 1863-1 to heat-strengthened glass. CAMGLASS has product performance assessments for its fully tempered and heat-strengthened samples. In applications with a risk of human impact, the EN 12600 pendulum impact class of the ordered glass is also checked.
What is bent tempered glass and where is it used?
Bent tempered glass is made by forming heated glass to the specified curve and tempering it in this shape with rapid air cooling. It is used in curved façades, shop windows, entrances and balustrades. Feasibility depends on the glass type and thickness together with panel height, arc length, radius and shape tolerances.
On the drawing, state the bending direction, the inner or outer radius, and whether the dimension is given along the arc or as the straight distance between the two ends. If laminated bent glass is required, the geometry of the matching glass plies is also checked.
What is laminated glass and what are its advantages?
In laminated glass, two or more glass panes are bonded with one or more interlayers. When it breaks, the fragments adhere to the interlayer, reducing the risk of glass falling out. Clear or coloured PVB can be chosen for appearance and acoustic PVB to reduce sound transmission. Saflex® DG41 is a structural PVB and SentryGlas® is an ionoplast interlayer. A structural interlayer is selected according to the load, temperature, load duration and fixing system.
EN 14449 and the EN ISO 12543 series are the product references for laminated and laminated safety glass. CAMGLASS has type tests for its laminated glass samples, including humidity, high-temperature and radiation tests. For flat glass, the impact class is determined for the relevant build-up according to EN 12600. In balustrades and overhead glazing, post-breakage behaviour is assessed together with the glass plies and structural fixings.
Do you manufacture insulating glass?
Yes. We manufacture insulating glass units (IGU) made of two or more glass panes. Şişecam has also issued its 2026 Isıcam® Authorised Manufacturer Certificate to CAMGLASS Cam San. ve Tic. A.Ş. Isıcam® refers to Şişecam’s branded insulating glass products covered by its authorised manufacturer programme.
The spacer keeps the distance between the panes. The edge seal limits moisture ingress into the dry-air or argon-filled cavity and gas loss. A Low-E coating reduces heat transfer. The EN 1279 series covers insulating glass units. In a project, the thermal transmittance (Ug) calculated according to EN 673, the total solar energy transmittance (g) and the sound insulation (Rw, C and Ctr) are assessed for the selected build-up.
What is insulating glass with integrated motorised blinds?
CAMGLASS’s products include insulating glass with integrated motorised blinds. The blind is installed between the panes of the unit. The slat angle is adjusted by a motor to control daylight, glare and view. Raising and lowering functions depend on the selected mechanism.
Glass dimensions, cavity width, power supply and control type are defined together. The cable route and service access are planned in advance on the frame drawing. If connection to building automation or a specific thermal and solar control value is required, the technical data of the selected mechanism and glass build-up are checked.
Do you produce digital ceramic-printed glass?
Yes. In digital ceramic printing, a pattern, photo or logo is transferred from a digital file onto the glass surface with ceramic ink. In this method, which needs no screens, printing is applied before tempering and fuses with the glass surface during heat treatment.
Colour and the proportion of open area affect the light transmittance of the glass and how it looks from outside. For patterns that continue across several panels, joint lines and orientation are built into the production file. In laminated and insulating glass units, the position of the printed surface is defined with regard to the coating and other components.
What is enamel-painted glass?
In enamel-painted glass, ceramic-based paint is applied to the whole surface or to a selected area and bonds to the glass during tempering. It is used in opaque spandrel panels that conceal slab edges on façades and in interior cladding.
The same colour reference can look different depending on the natural tint of the glass, its thickness and the viewing direction. The appearance is assessed on a sample together with the glass type and background. CAMGLASS’s TS EN 12150-2 product performance assessment for its enamel-painted tempered samples is based on fragmentation and bending strength tests. In laminated and insulating glass units, the position of the painted surface and material compatibility are also checked.
What is screen-printed glass?
In screen printing, ceramic enamel is transferred onto the glass through a screen in which the pattern is left open. During tempering the print fuses with the glass surface. For dots, lines and repeating motifs, the screen applies the same pattern on every panel.
Print coverage and the layout of open areas affect daylight transmission, view and appearance. If there is a numerical solar control target, the pattern and printed surface are assessed together with the coating and other glass plies. For repeating patterns, indicate the panel orientation and the required pattern alignment at joints on the drawing.
Does Camglass manufacture glass balustrades?
Yes. CAMGLASS manufactures flat and bent tempered laminated balustrade glass for balconies, terraces, stairs and galleries. The laminated build-up helps the fragments adhere to the interlayer in case of breakage. The load-bearing and post-breakage performance of a balustrade is assessed for the glass together with the base channel or point fixings, anchors and supporting structure.
To select the glass thickness and interlayer, share the panel height, fixing drawing, any hole positions and the load and impact requirements. CAMGLASS’s pendulum impact report for its tempered laminated samples applies to the tested glass build-up. The performance of the finished balustrade is assessed separately with the project’s fixing and supporting system.
Which glass processing operations does Camglass carry out?
Our production includes cutting, edging (edge processing), drilling, CNC processing, digital ceramic printing, enamel painting, screen printing, tempering, bending, lamination and insulating glass unit assembly.
For a typical tempered panel, the glass is first cut to size. Mechanical work such as edging, holes and notches is completed. If ceramic printing is needed, it is applied before heat treatment. If a tempered ply is used, the glass is tempered first and then laminated in the appropriate build-up or assembled into an insulating glass unit. The process sequence and finished dimensions are checked according to the selected glass and production steps.
Do you offer bird-friendly glass solutions?
Yes. CAMGLASS offers glass solutions that reduce the risk of bird collisions on façades and transparent passages. Patterns help birds notice transparent or reflective surfaces that they may perceive as an open passage. The size, spacing and contrast of the markings and the glass surface they are applied to affect performance.
If your specification includes a criterion such as the American Bird Conservancy Threat Factor, share the target, pattern layout and glass build-up. The required performance is verified with the relevant assessment or test document for the selected pattern and glass build-up.
Do you offer low-carbon glass solutions?
Yes. CAMGLASS assesses requests for low-carbon glass on a project basis. The embodied carbon of a glass refers to its greenhouse gas impact over defined life cycle stages. An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) states this impact as global warming potential (GWP), for example in kg CO₂e per declared unit.
When comparing two options, an equivalent glass build-up, the same declared unit and the same life cycle scope should be used. For example, A1–A3 covers the stages from raw material supply to manufacturing. If your specification sets an EPD requirement or an emissions limit, please state it. Whether an EPD issued for base glass covers the processed glass or the complete finished unit is checked separately.
Do you have fire-resistant glass solutions?
Yes. CAMGLASS offers fire-resistant glass solutions. In the EN 13501-2 classification, E stands for integrity, EW for integrity plus limitation of radiation, and EI for integrity plus limitation of the temperature rise on the unexposed side. For example, EI 30 means that the system meets the integrity and insulation criteria for 30 minutes under test conditions.
The valid class depends on the classification report of the system in which the glass is assessed together with the frame, seals, fixing and installation details. For a quotation, share the place of use, the target class and duration, the glass dimensions and the frame detail.
