ESG has supplied Transport for London with the glass for the 2nd phase of the redevelopment of Tottenham Court Road tube station, which is undergoing a multi-billion pound refit as part of the new Crossrail link.

ESG supplied over 150m² of toughened laminated glass split over 200 pieces. The coloured and black sections of the design were digitally printed and UV cured to the glass. To ensure maximum ink adhesion to the glass each panel was treated to an ESG developed pre-print wash treatment to remove any unseen dirt and oil.

This treatment enables all of the printing to achieve BSI: ISO2409 adhesion standard. The printing was carried out on 8mm toughened low iron and then laminated, with a white Vanceva interlayer to achieve the background, to create the 17.5mm toughened laminated final product.

The final design achieves a bright and modern new look.
