Type of Glass
Let us walk you through all glass types that we have in our factory.
Anneal Glass
The standard, untreated glass we commonly see is produced by slowly reducing the temperature of molten glass to relieve internal stresses. It serves as the base material for manufacturing other types of glass, such as tempered glass. Although it has advantages like excellent clarity and is easy to cut, the main drawback is that when it breaks, the glass shatters into large, sharp, and dangerous pieces
Low E Glass
It has a metal coating that is so thin it is almost invisible to the naked eye, which acts as a thermal shield. The function of this coating is to reflect heat back to its source—reflecting heat outwards and reflecting heat inwards. The result is a glass pane that significantly improves energy efficiency while still allowing natural light to pass through virtually unimpeded.
Laminated Glass
It is produced by permanently bonding two or more panes of glass together with an interlayer of highly tough and flexible PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) or EVA film in between. The production process uses high heat and pressure to fuse the glass panes and the film into a single unit, which creates its unique signature properties.
Mirror Glass
It is a flat glass pane that is given reflective properties. It is essentially ordinary clear glass (called the base sheet or substrate) that is coated on one side with a special metallic layer to enable it to reflect light and create a clear image.
Sand Blasted Glass
It is a type of decorative and functional glass that undergoes a treatment process to create a frosted, opaque, or translucent surface. It is produced by blasting the surface of the glass with a high-velocity stream of sand or other abrasive materials (such as grit or crushed walnut shells)
Reflective Glass
Reflective glass is essentially standard glass coated with a thin layer of metal that acts similar to a mild mirror. This coating allows the glass to reflect most of the sun's heat and glare away from the building, thus keeping the interior cooler and helping to reduce air conditioning use. Furthermore, this type of glass provides privacy during the daytime.
Tempered Glass
Standard glass that has undergone a special treatment process to increase its strength by approximately four to five times. This enhanced strength allows it to better withstand impact, pressure, and temperature changes. Crucially, if the glass breaks, it shatters into thousands of tiny, pebble-like pieces with blunt edges, instead of large, sharp fragments, which significantly reduces the risk of serious injury.
Insulated Glass
Insulating glass, commonly referred to as double-glazed glass or double-glazing, is a window unit designed to significantly slow down the transfer of heat through the glass panes. Essentially, this type of glass is a sealed assembly consisting of two or more panes of glass separated by a space.
Color Coated Glass
Tinted glass is a broad term for glass that has had a color layer added to achieve desired aesthetics, functional performance, or solar energy properties. The color can be applied either as a surface coating or integrated uniformly into the glass material itself.
