Clear float glass, named for its fabrication process, can be found in almost any home or office building. Clear glass is colorless, so it won’t distort the view outside a window or change the look of a framed painting. It can make any space brighter and feel more open and larger. Due to the prism effect glass creates, its edges appear to be green. The thicker the glass, the darker this edge appears—an important feature to remember when considering a piece of glass where the edges are exposed. Clear float glass is perfect for table tops, windows, railings for stairs, and barriers on balconies. When ordering clear glass, consider whether you will need annealed or tempered to ensure you are using the safest solution for your glass. -

Sandblasted textured glass shares the same aesthetic qualities of acid etched glass, providing complete privacy while still transmitting light. Where sandblasted glass differs from acid etched is in how it is fabricated. Sandblasted glass is produced by spraying sand at high velocities over the surface of the glass. This gives the glass a translucent surface, which is usually rougher than that obtained by etching. -

Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered. Much like our other clear glasses, it features a flat surface with a uniform thickness that provides an unobstructed views. Laminated glass is also proficient at improving heat insulation, and insulating sound. Laminated glass should be used over tempered and annealed glass when there is the possibility for human impact, or if the glass could fall. It is also ideal for architectural applications in homes and buildings that will be receiving direct sunlight, as it is very efficient at reflecting UV rays. -
