Your Glass Cut to Size

Type and Thickness

However you use glass, it is essential for safety and performance reasons that it is specified and installed correctly. We carry several different types of glass. Which one best fits your needs?

Safety Glass:

Safety glass is most commonly either laminated or toughened. Laminated when broken, holds together similar to a car windscreen providing an element of security as well as safety.

Toughened glass whilst being five times stronger than untoughened glass, will break into small safe pieces similar to how the glass in a bus shelter breaks..

Non-Safety Glass:

Unlike safety glass, when non safety glass breaks, it usually breaks into larger pieces which can sometimes cause injury. Non safety glass is normally used in windows which are more than 800mm from the finished floor level or in any non- critical locations.

As Cut With Sharp Edges: When a piece of glass is cut from a sheet, the edges are sharp and therefore termed as having ‘as cut edges’. Glass of this type would normally only be used if it is being fitted into a frame where the edges will not be exposed e.g. a house window or picture frame.

Polished Edges: A polished edge creates a small chamfer on the top and bottom edges of the glass, making the edge safe to touch. A polished edge is required when the edges of the glass will be exposed eg. Table tops or mirror fitted directly onto walls

Bevelled Edge: The bevelling of glass creates a very elegant look and is often used on table tops, mirrors or door glass. The bevelling process removes an angular portion of the glass edge. Bevelled edges are available in different widths and catch the light, enhancing the appearance of the glass.
