Glass Types
Glass options typically available in house construction are as follows:
Plate Glass
Plate glass is the standard glass type used in most houses today, typically available as plain or tinted. The glass can be doubled up for insulating purposes, however if broken, it will shatter into multiple sharp pieces.
Tempered Glass
Tempered glass is three to five times stronger than plane, or plate glass. The advantage of tempered glass is if broken, it develops hairline cracks and will break into multiple small rounded pieces.
Insulating Glass
Insulating glass usually consists of two or three sheets of glass, held in a frame separated by a thin air space making it a good temperature insulator, similar to a thermos.
