What makes this hard
Four reasons a material gets dropped from a spec.
You have to ring someone to find out a thickness
Only 6% of architects want a face-to-face with a salesperson, and 67% of B2B buyers would rather get through the whole job without one. Everything we can state is on this page, in public, so you never have to start a conversation to get a number.
The website says one thing and the salesman says another
69% of B2B buyers have hit exactly that, and 97% of architects surveyed still call misleading or vague product information an industry problem. So when we do not know, this page says we do not know.
You cannot show the client what it will look like
Imagining the finished room is one of the things homeowners find hardest. ORE's AR camera and Mix & Match exist for that, and neither of them asks you to register.
You cannot get the sample in time to present
A screen cannot show glass honestly — it mixes colour from three lights and reaches only about seven-tenths of what a real surface can do. Tell us the project and we send the band that belongs to it, not the whole library.

- Reaction to fire
- Glass is Euroclass A1, non-combustible — which is NOT a fire-resistance rating
- Fire resistance
- ORE does not supply it. A rating (EI30 / EI60 to EN 13501-2) is given to the glass, the frame and the system as one tested assembly — ORE can supply fire-rated glass but not the rated frame or the tested system, so do not specify us into a rated compartment

Take these
Wording you can paste into a drawing.
Written to be edited. Change what your project needs — and tell us what you changed, so the quotation matches the drawing.
Decorative laminated glass
Decorative laminated glass: two sheets of 5mm clear float laminated with a decorative interlayer (fabric, metal mesh or printed layer) to a nominal 10mm overall, approximately 27 kg/m². Maximum pane size to suit the raw sheet, commonly 2,130 × 3,050 mm. Exposed edges polished. Indoor locations only where a printed layer is used. Supplier: ORE Smart Sdn Bhd.
Toughened partition glass
Toughened safety glass, thermally tempered to MS 1498 / EN 12150: 10mm to 2,400mm panel height; 12mm from 2,400mm to 3,200mm; panel heights above 3,200mm to be specified by the supplier for the site. All cut-outs, notches and holes to be completed before tempering. Supplier: ORE Smart Sdn Bhd.
Switchable privacy glass
Laminated switchable privacy glass, translucent when unpowered and clear when powered, approximately 5 W/m². Maximum panel width approximately 1,800mm; maximum height approximately 12 ft. Transformer sized to the installed area and housed in a dry, accessible location. Not to be installed where the glass or the wiring may be wetted. Supplier: ORE Smart Sdn Bhd.
Copper-free mirror
Silvered float glass mirror with copper-free backing, 5mm nominal (4mm or 6mm to order), edges polished, bevel 10–25mm where shown. Backing to resist the copper-accelerated salt-spray condition behind EN 1036. Cut to site dimensions with cut-outs to the drawing. Supplier: ORE Smart Sdn Bhd.
What ORE does not have — and will not pretend to.
- No BIM or Revit objects. If your model needs one, tell us the parameters you need and we will answer in writing while we build it.
- No CAD detail library. Send us the junction you are detailing and we will mark it up with real thicknesses.
- No downloadable data-sheet library yet. Every figure we can state is on this page instead, and a person will write it onto your letterhead if you need it for a submission.
- No fire-resistance rating, and no plan to fake one. A1 is reaction to fire, not resistance. EI30 / EI60 belongs to a whole tested assembly — glass, frame and fixings together — and ORE supplies the glass, not the system.
- No demountable partition system. ORE's partitions are cut to the opening they are made for and are not designed to be taken down and reused elsewhere.
- No continuing-education programme. If you want a session for your studio on what glass can and cannot do, ask — we will come and do it.
Why glass
Why it survives a spec review.
Non-combustible
Glass is Euroclass A1 — it does not burn and adds nothing to a fire. Timber products generally sit in the Class C band for flame spread. A1 is reaction to fire, not fire resistance: ORE does not supply EI30 or EI60 systems, and we say so on every page that mentions fire.
It does not move with our weather
No water absorption, so no swelling, cupping or lifting, and nothing for mould to feed on. That single fact is what separates it from MDF, wallpaper and applied film in this climate.
The decoration is inside it
Fired ceramic decoration is melted into the glass above 650 °C, and fabric, mesh or print is sealed between two sheets. Nothing on the surface to peel or fade.
The full comparison — against timber slats, wallpaper, film and tile, with the honest list of when glass is the wrong answer — is on the art glass page

Dealer pricing & samples
Register with us.
Two things need us to know who you are: dealer pricing, so you quote your own client, and samples. Answer as much as you can and the first reply you get is a real answer instead of “tell us more”.
What ORE will receive
Hi ORE, I am a designer / architect and I would like to register with you. I am asking for: Dealer pricing, SamplesSend it on WhatsAppNothing here is saved on this website — the message is composed in your browser and sent from your own WhatsApp. Dealer pricing and samples are agreed with you by a person; samples are charged unless we have agreed otherwise.
Send us the drawing.
An elevation, a plan or a photo with a question on it. A question with a drawing attached gets a specific answer instead of a general one.
WhatsApp usDo I have to register to read the technical facts?
No, and you never will. Everything ORE can state is on this page, in public. Registration is only for dealer pricing and samples, because those cost money and go to people we have taken on.
What does registering actually get me?
Dealer pricing so you quote your own client, and samples for your presentation. It is agreed with a person — there is no account to create on this website, and we are not going to pretend there is one.
Are samples free for designers?
Samples are charged. If we have agreed something different with you, that agreement stands — tell us and we will honour it.
Can I specify supply only?
Yes. Supply only is welcome for any custom glass, anywhere in Malaysia including Sabah and Sarawak. Installation is by ORE-approved installers in the states we cover.
Do you have BIM files or CAD details?
Not today, and we will not pretend otherwise. Tell us what your model or your detail needs and a person writes you the real numbers — the same numbers that are on this page.
Can you write a spec clause for my drawing?
Yes, and four of them are on this page already for you to take. Send us the build you are after and we will write the clause for it, with the thicknesses and the limits in it.
Is the glass certified?
The glass, film and coatings ORE uses carry their makers' certifications — safety glass tempered to MS 1498 and EN 12150, and TÜV Rheinland certification for EnduroShield. Those certificates belong to the manufacturing partners and we will name the partner on request.
Who actually makes it?
ORE has no factory and no in-house installation crew, and says so plainly. We choose the factory for the technique and ORE stays answerable for the job end to end — if it is measured wrong or broken in delivery, ORE remakes and reinstalls it at no cost to your client.
Can I specify ORE into a fire-rated compartment?
No. A fire-resistance rating is given to a whole tested assembly — the glass, the frame and the fixings classified together to EN 13501-2. ORE can supply fire-rated glass, but not the rated frame and not the tested system, so there is nothing for us to certify. If the drawing needs EI30 or EI60, that opening belongs to a fire-system supplier.
Are ORE partitions demountable?
No. They are cut to the opening they are made for, and once the glass is tempered it cannot be recut. Taking a partition down, moving it and then finding it does not fit the next room is three costs for one wall — so if relocatable is a requirement of the brief, ORE's partitions are not the answer and we would rather tell you now.
Can the AR camera replace a sample?
No, and we would rather say so. A screen mixes colour from three lights and physically cannot reach about a third of the colours a real surface has, and the same photo looks glossier on one phone than another. AR narrows the shortlist; the sample decides it.
How quickly do you answer?
WhatsApp is the fastest route and it is the same number the whole company uses. Send the drawing or the photo with the question — a question with a drawing attached gets a specific answer instead of a general one.
