DIFFERENT TYPES OF GLASSES

There are 12 different types of glasses mainly used in construction

Laminated Glass
Toughened Glass
Fusion Glass
Mirrors
Etched Glass
Float Glass
Stained Glass
Beveled Glass
Figured Glass
Cast Glass
Frameless Doors
Tinted Glass
Laminated Glass
.Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that
holds together when shattered.

.In the event of breaking, it is held in place by an

interlayer, typically of polyvinyl butyral (PVB),
between its two or more layers of glass.

.The interlayer keeps the layers of glass bonded

even when broken, and its high strength prevents
the glass from breaking up into large sharp pieces.

.This produces a characteristic "spider web"

cracking pattern when the impact is not enough to
completely pierce the glass.

Toughened Glass
Toughened or tempered glass is glass that
has been processed by controlled thermal
or chemical treatments.

It has increased strength compared with

normal glass and will usually shatter into
small fragments, rather than sharp
shards, when broken.

Tempered glass is strong, has enhanced

thermal resistance, and breaks into small
cuboid fragments rather than irregular
shards of glass and therefore is less likely
to cause injury.

Fusion Glass
Fused glass is a term used to describe glass that has
been fired (heat-processed) in a kiln at a range of
high temperatures from 593º C (1100ºF) to 816º C
(1500ºF).

There are 3 main distinctions for temperature

application and the resulting effect on the glass.

Fused glass consists mainly of silica.

While the precise origins of glass fusing techniques

are not known with certainty

Mirrors
A mirror is an object with a surface that has good
specular reflection; that is, it is smooth enough to
form an image.

The most familiar type of mirror is the plane mirror,

which has a flat surface.

Curved mirrors are also used, to produce magnified

or demagnified images or focus light or simply distort
the reflected image.Mirrors are most commonly used
for personal grooming, decoration, and architecture.

Mirrors are also used in scientific apparatus such as

telescopes and lasers, cameras, and industrial
machinery.

Etched Glass

Attend your meetings with this

exclusive Etched Glasss.

Etching refers to the technique of

creating art on the surface of
glass by applying acidic, caustic,
or abrasive substances.

Glass with excellent finish to

match your interiors.
Float Glass
Float glass is a sheet of glass made
by floating molten glass on a bed of
molten tin.

This method gives the sheet

uniform thickness and very flat
surfaces. Modern windows are
made from float glass.

Most float glass is soda-lime glass,

but relatively minor quantities of
specialty borosilicate and flat panel
display glass are also produced
using the float glass process.
Stained Glass
As a material the term stained glass generally refers
to glass that has been coloured by adding metallic
salts during its manufacture.

The coloured glass is crafted into stained glass

windows in which small pieces of glass are arranged
to form patterns or pictures, held together
(traditionally) by strips of lead and supported by a
rigid frame.

Painted details and yellow stain are often used to

enhance the design.

The term stained glass is also applied to windows in

which all the colours have been painted onto the
glass and then annealed in a furnace.
Stained Glass
Beveled Glass
Beveled glass is usually made by taking one-quarter
inch-thick clear glass and creating a one-inch bevel on
one side around the entire periphery.

These bevels act as prisms in the sunlight creating an

interesting color diffraction which both highlights the
glasswork and provides a spectrum of colors which
would ordinarily be absent in clear float glass.

"Beveled glass" can be obtained as clusters which are

arranged to create a specific design.

These can vary from simple three or four piece

designs.

Figured Glass
We are figured glass dealers in
India.

We deal both clear and colored

figured glass from 3mm to
4mm, in more than 40 different
patterns, including: flora,
kasumi, mistlite, Pin Head,
Reeded, Yozura, Konoha,
Karatachi etc.

Our quality is one of the best in

Andhra Pradesh, our price is also
very competitive.
Cast Glass
Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid
material is (usually) poured into a mold, which contains
a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to
solidify.

The solid casting is then ejected or broken out to

complete the process.

Casting may be used to form hot liquid metals or various

materials that cold set after mixing of components (such
as epoxies, concrete, plaster and clay).

Casting is most often used for making complex shapes

that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to
make by other methods.

Frameless Doors
The frameless doors include bypass, framed, frameless, and
heavy glass door units.

Standard units can be customized with side panels or return

panels as well as custom sizes.
Tinted Glass
Goutam Glass Incorporation can supply a full range of
tinted float glass, including colors of dark blue, lake blue,
ocean blue, French green, dark green, dark grey, bronze,
and pink.
