What are the different types of glass that I can install in a home office or building?

There are plenty of different types of glass that serve different purposes. Here are the most common types of glasses used for houses and buildings: -Float Glass (Soda-lime glass) Float glass is manufactured from sodium silicate and calcium silicate. The glass is clear, flat and you can expect it to have a glare. It’s usually used for store fronts and public buildings in Cape Town. -Shatterproof glass Shatterproof glass is used for windows, skylights, floors and many other structures. It provides extra safety because it cannot form sharp-edged pieces when it breaks. -Laminated glass Laminated glass has multiple layers which makes it weigh more than normal glass. It’s very thick, UV proof and soundproof. This kind of glass is usually used for aquariums and bridges. -Tinted glass Tinted glass is just like normal glass, except a colouring agent has been added. Tinted glass is usually used for the purpose of design and aesthetics.

Can you re-size tempered glass?

No, you cannot re-size tempered glass. Tempered glass is manufactured in such a way that it will break into tiny little pieces if it’s cut. This makes it much safer in the event that the glass is broken. However, it also means that the glass can’t be cut down, re-sized or re-shaped. This means that you need to make sure that you order the right sized glass beforehand.

How do frameless glass doors work?

Frameless glass doors work on a pivot system rather than a conventional wall mounted hinge. This means that the dimensions for these doors might be different to the standard doors that are already installed. You’ll need to consider this if you plan on replacing existing doors with glass doors.
