Good quality glass is essential in the home and can transform a dull window or glass door into one that will enhance your home. Today there are many different varieties of glass and each one has its own unique characteristics. No matter what your style of home is, you can add a touch of class with the right choice of glass.
Flat glass
Home application: Windows & glass doors
As the most basic type of glass, float glass is the starting material for laminated, toughened and coated glass. With even thickness all around the glass, this glass is often used in double-glazing windows.
Toughened glass
Home application: Shower doors, glass shelves, low-level windows and doors
Toughened glass, also known as safety glass or tempered glass, is a type of glass that is 5x stronger than regular glass. It goes through a heating and cooling process so that when it breaks, it breaks into small, blunt pieces rather than the large, sharp shards that you get from regular glass.
