Choosing the right glass for performance, safety and aesthetics
Glass is the largest component of any window or facade system and has the greatest impact on thermal performance, acoustic insulation, safety and aesthetics. Understanding glass types helps you make informed decisions that affect comfort and energy costs for decades.
Heat-treated to 620°C then rapidly cooled. Shatters into small harmless pieces on impact. Required by code for safety applications.
Two glass layers bonded with PVB/EVA interlayer. Holds together when broken — critical for overhead glazing and security.
Two panes separated by argon/air-filled spacer. Dramatically reduces heat transfer and noise. Industry standard for energy efficiency.
Invisible metallic oxide coating reflects infrared heat while allowing visible light. Reduces AC costs by 25-30%.
Asymmetric laminated glass with acoustic PVB interlayer. Specifically engineered for maximum noise reduction.
Body-tinted in grey, green, blue or bronze. Reduces glare and solar heat gain. Popular for commercial facades.
Toughened glass for safety. DGU for energy efficiency. Laminated for security areas.
Toughened + laminated mandatory by code. DGU with Low-E for energy performance.
Reflective or Low-E DGU for solar control. Structural silicone glazed for seamless look.
Acoustic laminated glass in DGU configuration. Asymmetric thickness for maximum sound reduction.
Laminated glass that stays intact on breakage. Required for overhead glazing, balustrades and railing panels.
High-performance Low-E or solar control glass to combat afternoon heat gain.
