Frequently asked questions

What Are the Different Types of Window Glass?

Annealed Glass    Less expensive, Good visibility
Laminated Glass Strong material, shatter-resistant glass
Low-E Glass        Energy-efficient, thermal coating that lasts 10 to 15 years
Tinted Glass        Promotes greater privacy, heat transfer resistant

What is the cheapest type of glass?

Float glass: This is the most budget-friendly and has no natural tint. It is a single piece of glass that breaks into sharp shards when hit with force. Float glass can, however, undergo a lot of chemical processes to be strengthened. It can be used in single-pane and even double-pane windows once it's been enhanced.

What happens when laminated glass breaks?

These glass sheets are held together permanently by an interlayer such as polyvinyl butyral (PVB). Laminated glass is about two times stronger than standard float glass of the same thickness, with the advantage that in case of breakage, it generally holds together by breaking into a spider-web pattern.

What is the most commonly used glass?

As the most common type of affordable glass, float glass will often be used for low-cost windows and smaller display cabinet-style doors, as well as being the base material for almost every other application.

What is the disadvantage of laminated glass?

The cost factor is a significant consideration, as it tends to be more expensive than standard glass options.

What is laminated glass good for?

Laminated glass products make float glass suitable for today's demanding architectural applications such as: noise reduction, hurricane impact-resistance, blast mitigation, forced entry, protection from broken glass – or a combination of these.

What type of glass is most common in houses?

Annealed Glass -- This is the most commonly used glass type today and is used in most home windows. It is manufactured using the float method

Which is better toughened or laminated glass?

Toughened is around 5 times stronger than laminated. It, therefore, needs to be hit a lot harder for the glass to break. When toughened is hit with enough force, it will break up into lots of small, blunt pieces rather than long sharp shards.
