Are you an importer, distributor or joinery company in the French overseas territories, buying glass by full containers? Noxem Group delivers float, laminated, Low-E, reflective glass and mirrors to Jarry, Fort-de-France, Port Réunion, Dégrad-des-Cannes and Longoni, at factory prices.
Which glass for overseas projects?
Sun, heat, humidity, strong winds: overseas, glass must protect as much as it lets light in. Four families cover most needs, and they can all be loaded in the same container.
- Clear float 4 to 12 mm: aluminium joinery, louvres, shopfronts, furniture.
- Laminated 44.2 and 55.2: balustrades, facades, and joinery for areas exposed to cyclone winds.
- Low-E and reflective glass: solar control, for cooler homes and less air-conditioning.
- Mirrors 4 mm: bathrooms, hotels, holiday rentals.
Caribbean, Réunion, Guiana, Mayotte: which ports?
We deliver to Jarry (Guadeloupe), Fort-de-France (Martinique), Port Réunion, Dégrad-des-Cannes (French Guiana) and Longoni (Mayotte). On request, we also quote for Nouméa and Papeete. Our prices are CIF: ocean freight and insurance to the port are included.
How many m² of glass fit in a container?
A glass container is limited by weight, not by space: glass weighs 2.5 kg per m² and per millimetre of thickness. Here are indicative quantities for a 20 ft container loaded with about 24 tonnes:
| Glass | Weight per m² | Indicative area in a 20′ |
|---|---|---|
| Float 4 mm | 10 kg | ≈ 2 400 m² |
| Float 6 mm | 15 kg | ≈ 1 600 m² |
| Float 8 mm | 20 kg | ≈ 1 200 m² |
| Float 10 mm | 25 kg | ≈ 960 m² |
| Laminated 44.2 | ≈ 21 kg | ≈ 1 100 m² |
| Laminated 55.2 | ≈ 26 kg | ≈ 900 m² |
Indicative values: we confirm the exact quantity with your quote. A container can be mixed, with several thicknesses and references.
Documents and taxes on arrival
With every container, you receive the commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading (B/L) for your clearing agent. On arrival, the octroi de mer and local VAT are calculated according to the territory: your agent handles them. Tell us before shipment if they need an additional document.
