Glass

Tempered Glass

Also called toughened glass.

Heated and rapidly cooled to increase strength compared to normal glass.

Breaks into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards, improving safety.

Ideal for canopies, doors, and railings where impact resistance is needed.

Laminated Glass

Made by sandwiching one or more layers of plastic (usually PVB or EVA) between glass sheets.

Holds together when shattered, preventing dangerous fragments from scattering.

Excellent for overhead installations like canopies, providing both safety and sound insulation.

Tempered and Laminated Combination (e.g., 10 + 10 + 1.52 mm)

Combines the strength of tempered glass with the safety of laminated construction.

Two tempered glass sheets are laminated with a 1.52 mm interlayer for maximum durability.

Suitable for heavy-duty applications like glass roofs, large canopies, or high-traffic areas.

Double Glass (Insulated Glass Units)

Two glass panes separated by a spacer and sealed to create an air or gas-filled gap.

Reduces heat transfer, improves energy efficiency, and provides sound insulation.

Commonly used in partition walls, windows, and facades.

Clear Float Glass (Base Glass for Processing)

Basic, high-clarity glass used as the starting material for tempered, laminated, or coated glass.

Smooth surface and uniform thickness.

Often used in interior applications or as part of other glass types.
