1. SINGLE GLAZE

​

Comprised of only one layer of of glass; single glazing can range from 6mm to 10mm of thickness.

1.2 LAMINATED GLASS

​

A type of safety glass that holds together when shattered. In the event of breaking, it is held in place by an interlayer, typically of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), between its two or more layers of glass. Its thickness ranges from 6mm to 16mm.

2.  DOUBLE GLAZED

​

Double glazed, also known as insulated glass, comprise of two or more panes of glass, separated by an air (or gas) filled cavity that is completely sealed forming a transparent insulating barrier between the interior of your space and the outdoors.

3. LOW E

​

Low-E or low emissary, glass was created to minimise the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that comes through your glass, without minimising the amount of light that enters your home. Low-E glass windows have a microscopically thin coating that is transparent and reflects that.

4. PERFORMANCE GLAZING

5. SPECIAL GLAZE
