Types of Glass We Work With

Toughened Glass – Exceptionally durable and heat-treated; designed to withstand heavy impact and reduce breakage risks.

Laminated Glass – Bonded layers that stay intact when broken; ideal for safety, noise reduction and UV filtering.

Safety Glass – Meets building regulations for public-facing areas; breaks into small, blunt pieces to minimise injury.
Float Glass – Standard clear glass used in many shopfronts; smooth surface and suitable for general display areas.

Wired Glass – Contains a wire mesh for fire resistance and additional strength; often used in older or heritage buildings.

Double-Glazed Glass – Two panes with an insulating space between; improves energy efficiency and reduces condensation or drafts.
