Glass is the largest element of any window by area. Not so long ago, the glass differed only in thickness, but today the market is ready to offer a much wider range. The right choice of glass is especially important when you order PVC Windows. We will tell you what kind of glass is used by the global window industry today.

 - standard construction glass. This is the most common all of us familiar glass and the only requirement that it must meet-sufficient light transmission capacity.

 - float glass - a kind of glass with a perfectly smooth surface. Produced using innovative technology, so its cost is slightly higher

- triplex or laminated glass. Used for the manufacture of Windows with high impact resistance. It consists of several layers of glass, which are connected by a laminated film of high strength. Depending on the number of layers, this glass is able to withstand significant mechanical stress until a bullet hits. Therefore, the main sphere of its use is financial institutions.

- heat-resistant glass. As the name suggests, the main property of this glass-resistance to temperature changes. Such properties are achieved by a combination of chemical and thermal treatment of ordinary glass.

- decorative glass is usually made opaque or translucent. At the same time, patterns, drawings or other decorative elements are applied to its surface. The thickness of such glass can be different, as well as the light transmission capacity. Used in places where clear glass is inappropriate or undesirable.
