Flat Glass
Flat glass (sometimes known as plate glass) comes in sheets, like paper, after cooling in the manufacturing process.
Despite its name, it can also be bent after it’s first formed, which gives it flexibility for its applications in both buildings and the automotive sectors.
Typically this type of glass is used for windows, doors, mirrors,

Float Glass
Float glass also comes in sheets but is manufactured slightly differently when
in its molten state. The molten glass flows onto a bath of molten tin or floats
on the tin, which creates perfectly smooth surfaces on both sides and can be
adjusted to a desired thickness with rollers.
This type of glass is widely used in consumer products such as automobile
glass, windows and doors, as well as insulated glass.
Insulated Glass
Insulated glass is used in IGUs or insulated glass units. The units consist of two panels of glass that are separated by a gap using a spacer and then filled with a noble gas and sealed at the edge.
These units are ideal for providing thermal insulation in any type of building construction for windows and can be made in a wide variety of sizes, colours, and levels of insulation.
Depending on the type of glass used in the IGU, you can further increase the energy efficiency available.

Low-E Coated Glass
Low-E (Low Emissivity) coated glass has been developed to minimize the
levels of UV and infrared light that can penetrate the glass while preserving
visibility.
As an excellent insulator, it can be manufactured in two ways. Passive Low-E,
which maximize solar heat gain into a home or building, and Solar Control
Low-E, which limits solar heat entry to keep buildings cooler. Both can offer
significant gains to the occupier by reducing energy consumption for heating
or air-conditioning.
Often used in insulated glass units, this glass is ideal for maintaining
comfortable indoor temperatures year-round.

Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is produced by taking two pieces of glass and layering a resin polymer in between them before using a heat and pressure process to make
it one cohesive single piece.
Additional interlayers can be added for sound insulation, additional safety specifications, and decorative purposes, making it incredibly versatile.
It’s a type of safety glass that keeps the glass bonded to the resin if heavily impacted and reduces the incidence of glass shatter.
As a result of this safety mechanism, it makes laminated glass ideal for use in almost all glass applications.

Tempered Glass
Tempered glass is another type of safety glass with structural properties that
allow it to be up to four times stronger than standard glass.
It is often used in automotive windows and architectural applications such as
bathroom screens, balcony doors, pools, frameless glass doors, skylights,
table tops, and shelving.
If tempered glass does have a heavy enough impact to break it, it will shatter
into smaller rounded pieces of glass as opposed to large, jagged, and
dangerous shards.

Ceramic Fritted Glass
Ceramic Fritted glass is most often used in insulating glass units. It is made by
printing a layer of ceramic frit onto the glass surface.
This results in decorative effects or an opaque material often used in
commercial settings such as fixed windows, curtain walls, bird-friendly glass,
storefronts, and cladding applications.
It helps reduce glare, can cut cooling costs and makes architectural
statements in design and overall aesthetics, particularly on building exteriors.
