07Glass, explained
Six kinds of glass, and where each belongs.
General facts about glass, so a quote makes sense when you read it. Tempered and laminated are the two that keep people safe.
-
01
Clear float
Ordinary flat glass. Breaks into sharp pieces.
Use it forSmall windows out of reach, cabinets, picture frames.
-
02
Tempered
Heat-treated to about four times the strength of float glass. Breaks into small blunt cubes. Cannot be cut after tempering.
Use it forDoors, shower screens, frameless glass, anything near the floor.
-
03
Laminated
Two panes bonded to a plastic interlayer. Cracks but stays in the frame, and cuts noise.
Use it forOverhead glass, balustrades, shopfronts, rooms by a busy road.
-
04
Tinted
Coloured through the body, usually grey, bronze or green. Cuts glare and some heat.
Use it forSunny elevations and cars parked in a porch.
-
05
Reflective
A metal coating that mirrors the outside by day and cuts solar heat.
Use it forOffice facades and west-facing glass. By night the mirror works the other way.
-
06
Frosted
Etched, sandblasted or filmed so light passes and faces do not.
Use it forBathrooms, partitions at eye level, street-facing rooms.
Three frame finishes
- Powder-coated
- Coloured powder fused onto the aluminium in an oven. Any colour, a thick even coat, and the usual choice for white, black and greys.
- Anodised
- An oxide layer grown out of the metal itself, in silver, bronze or black. It will not peel, and it keeps the look of metal.
- Wood-grain
- A powder coat printed with a timber pattern. The look of wood with none of the swelling.
