How to Choose the Glass Type?

(ChinaGlass Network) Glass can be classified into various kinds of types according to different technical processing. The most majority of furniture used glass includes flat glass, float glass, depolished glass, figures glass and colored glass and so forth.

They are widely used in housing decoration from façade windows to interior screen, windows and doors.

Normal Flat Glass

5-6mm glass, mostly applied in small space façade windows, doors.

Tempered Glass

It is a kind of press glass processed from flat glass. The thickness and strength of extension of the former one is several times and five times of that of the latter one. The tempered glass is not easy to be broken. It will fall in a manner of no-acute angle particles even it is broken. 

Frosted Glass

It is also made frosting deep-processing based on the flat glass. The thickness usually is less than 9mm, mostly 5mm or 6mm.

Laminated glass is made up of two flat glass (tempered glass or other special glass can also be applied) and organic cementing layer. When it is damaged, the broken glass still sticks to the cementing layer to avoid hurt to human beings caused from splashing cullet, mostly applied in building projects with high safety requirement.
