ASTRAA

How we make it

Float sheet to finished cooktop glass.

Every top moves through one plant in one direction — cutting, edging, washing, drilling, printing, tempering, inspection, dispatch. Glass never crosses back on itself, and pieces in, good and lost are recorded at each stage, every day.

On the floor

Ten stages, one forward flow.

Follow a sheet through the plant — from the CNC bed to the packed, counted crate.

Cutting & edging

Float glass is cut to size on the CNC line to your drawing, then a double-edger seams and polishes all four edges.

Washing

Glass is washed to clear grinding swarf before drilling, and again to leave a clean, dry face for printing.

Hole drilling

Burner cut-outs and fixing holes are drilled and the corners radiused — positioned before toughening, for full strength.

Printing & coating

Brand logos and burner rings go down in ceramic ink; a digital printer lays in patterns; a roller-coater gives full-body black, IR-cured.

Tempering

The furnace fires the print in permanently and toughens the glass — verified to safety-glass fragmentation by BIS-accredited testing.

Packed stacks of finished glass tops, ready for dispatch.

Inspection, packing & dispatch

A 100% visual and dimensional check, with defects logged by stage — then crated, counted per crate and shipped.

Tracked, not reconstructed

Yield and breakage, visible every day.

Pieces in, pieces good and pieces lost are logged at each stage in our own production system — so yield, breakage and rework show up per day and per order, not at month-end.

Walk the line, end to end.

Thirty-five seconds on the floor — from float sheet on the CNC bed to packed crates, and the team that makes it. And you’re welcome to see it in person.
