Tempered Glass Tempered glass is also referred to as “toughened” or “fully tempered” glass. It is heat-treated safety glass. The surface of tempered glass is approximately four times stronger than the surface of regular annealed (non-safety) glass of the same thickness. When broken, tempered glass shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces. This characteristic “dice” break…

Thermal Insulation Glass Generally called Low-E glass (low emmisivity). Relatively neutral in appearance low-e coatings reduce heat loss by reflecting long-wave infrared energy ( heat) and therefore decrease `U` value and improve energy efficiency. A lower U-value indicated better insulating properties. The unit of measure is W/m2 K. Can be used as a Solar Control…
Sound Control Glass No matter where it originates, from railways, aircraft or factories, noise is all around. Future trend research suggests that traffic and noise in general will only get worse. The careful and considered selection of glass can be crucial in helping to reduce noise level and meet noise requirements. The highest noise insulation…
