Glaston: Taking control of anisotropy with iLooK

“Be it architects, façade engineers or homeowners, people expect high-quality glass products with shorter delivery times. Execution, precision, accuracy and aesthetics all affect customer satisfaction – and higher customer satisfaction leads to extended relationships and more business. We are proud that Bojar is one of only a few companies in the market that offers tempered glass without visible anisotropy,” says Krzysztof Harasimowicz, Bojar Sales Director.

Bojar is the premier name in service and quality for high-standard glass products in the northeast region of Poland. However, glass products were not always part of their story. In 1997, Bojar was founded in the city of Ełk as a PVC profiles and window accessories distributor. In 2003, the company tapped into a more sophisticated glass production business for high-quality, double-glazed products and built a new production facility with glass processing machines. A whole new era began for Bojar.

“CUSTOMERS INSPIRE US!”

The company presently offers various types of glass and glass-related services for all possible applications. They are the leading manufacturer of double-glazed products throughout the region – and are still growing.

“Bojar’s machine park and various technologies allow us to successfully implement even the most challenging orders,” says Krzysztof. “We are always open to introducing new products, and our customers inspire us!”

CURRENT STANDARDS ARE OUTDATED

“Most glass suppliers still rely on archaic standards that are not stringent enough for today’s demanding customers. In response to the current market demand, Bojar developed its own standards, which are more rigorous when compared to current official standards. We were able to do this thanks to our modern technology and many years of experience,” Krzysztof says.

Iridescence, also known as anisotropy, is a good example of the difference in industry standards. Though not an official defect, Krzysztof’s customers were increasingly perceiving anisotropy as poor-quality glass. “Customers’ attitudes toward iridescence are changing, which is leading to changes about the phenomenon and the methods of measuring it,” Krzysztof explains. “Like with the roller wave effect, we feel shifting attitudes about iridescence will soon impose significant boundaries on the types of glass vendors are allowed to sell.”
