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.

Mirrored glass
Home application: Wardrobe doors, bathroom mirrors, table tops
Mirrored glass is essentially glass that has been treated with a metal coating to create mirror-like properties. Mirrored glass can be used practically as mirrors or decoratively as reflective glass for table tops or facades.

Sandblasted ‘etched’ glass
Home application: Bathroom windows, shower doors, decorative glass
Sandblasted glass allows you to have some parts of the glass transparent while other areas will have a frosted look. This frosted look is perfect for private areas such as bathroom windows or shower doors. It can also be used to create beautiful, decorative patterns onto panes of glass to enhance your home’s aesthetic. Discover our glass etching and design service here.
