Types of Glass

There are a lot more types of glass than you might be aware of, and knowing about them can help you to complete your jobs even more efficiently to the highest possible standards. Below, you will find a list of some of the most common types of glass that can be cut, along with the various uses of each:

• Mirrored glass – Mirrored glass can be cut to create aesthetically pleasing features in any home. It can also be used for creating unique and high-end furniture.
• Sheet glass – Sheet glass is typically used for greenhouses and glazing it is almost completely flat, which means you can technically cut it yourself, but if you want real precision, get your glass cut to size in Glasgow by a professional.
• Float glass – Also known as soda-lime glass, this glass is great for use in windows and in the creation of glass structures due to its distortion-free appearance.

• Laminated glass – Laminated glass has a slightly green hue and is ideal for use when creating bridges and aquariums because of the fact that its many layers help it to be extremely soundproof. Not only that, but it can reduce UV rays, which means a lot of construction companies choose it when creating glass canopies too.
• Shatterproof glass – Because plastic polyvinyl butyral resin is added into the mix when it is produced, shatterproof glass, as you might have deduced from the name, is extremely resistant to shattering. That’s why it’s ideal for use in floors, windows and even skylights.
• Self-cleaning glass – Great for windows, as you might expect from the name, this kind of glass does not stain easily, which means you can keep things low-maintenance, Ideal for use in retail buildings, but great for domestic homes too.
• Energy-efficient glass – Now that energy-efficient homes are becoming a bit of a thing, construction companies that use this coated glass, which lowers the transfer of thermal energy back out of the house – basically it lets heat in but not out – are all going to want to use energy-efficient glass to entice the customers.
• Patterned glass – Patterned glass adds a unique design element to all kinds of buildings and it takes a real expert to cut it right.
