Frequently asked questions
Look closely at the glass edge: tempered glass will have a smooth, slightly rounded edge without sharp corners. Untempered glass has a sharp, unfinished edge. You may also notice small nicks or divots in the glass edge. Tempered glass has undergone intense heating and rapid cooling, so its surface is more durable.
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
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.
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.
