About Glass
Glass is a translucent or transparent material which is made by pouring molten glass over a layer of tin. Molten glass is made up of limestone, iron oxide for color, dolomite, slat cake and sand exposed to a temperature of 1500o Celsius for a considerable time.
FLOAT OR ANNEALED GLASS
Annealed glass sheets, renowned for their excellent optical clarity, can be easily drilled, polished, or machined after being produced by heating molten glass and cooling it gradually at room temperature.
TOUGHENED GLASS
Toughened glass, which is four times stronger than annealed glass, shatters into small, harmless cubes when broken, making it highly safe. It is produced by rapid cooling after heating to over 500°C.
HEAT STRENGTHENED GLASS
Heat strengthened glass, stronger than annealed glass, undergoes controlled heating and cooling, resulting in high thermal resistance. When broken, it fractures into larger, safer pieces that remain intact, enhancing public safety.
FROSTED GLASS
Frosted glass, also referred to as privacy glass, permits minimal light to pass through due to its production via the acid etching process, making it ideal for applications requiring limited visibility.
INSULATED OR DOUBLE GLASS
Insulated glass, created by sealing two or more glass panes with an air gap between them, offers superior thermal performance, improving energy efficiency in buildings by reducing heat transfer and maintaining indoor temperature.
LAMINATED GLASS
Laminated glass, made by bonding two or more glass layers with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) layer, doesn't shatter upon breaking. Instead, it adheres to the PVB layer, ensuring increased safety and security.
TINTED (COLORED) GLASS
Tinted glass, also known as colored glass, reduces glare and light transmission, providing a soothing visual experience. However, careful selection is necessary as it transmits less light than other types of glass.
REFLECTIVE GLASS
Reflective glass, featuring advanced coatings, significantly reduces light and heat penetration. It allows natural light to enter while blocking heat and radiation, making it ideal for large buildings and office facades.
BOROSILICATE GLASS
Borosilicate glass, commonly known as Pyrex, is highly heat resistant with a low coefficient of thermal expansion. It can withstand sudden temperature changes without shattering, making it a safe and durable option.
