The main types of glass

DeKu German Windows & Doors can be delivered with the best glass for your needs: laminated glass, tempered glass, insulated glass, bent glass, sound control glass, burglar resistant glass, and more, even bullet proof glass is available.

The main types of glass available for you to choose from are:

Laminated glass

A tough, clear plastic polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sheet (interlayered), ranging in thickness from 0.015 to 0.090 in. (0.381 to 2.3 mm), is sandwiched, under heat and pressure, between lights of sheet, plate, float, wired, heat-absorbing, tinted, reflective, low emissivity, or heat-treated glass or combinations of each. When laminated glass breaks, the particles tend to adhere to the plastic film.

Tempered glass

Tempered glass is generally four to five times stronger than annealed glass. It breaks into innumerable small, cubeshaped fragments. It cannot be cut, drilled, or altered after fabrication; the precise size required and any special features (such as notches, holes, edge treatments, etc.) must be specified when ordering.

Tempered glass can be used as a safety glazing material provided it complies with the ANSI and CPSC references listed on the following “Glass Products” page under the “Laminated Glass” heading. Tempered glass can be used in insulating and laminated assemblies and in wired, patterned, and coated processes.

Heat-absorbing or tinted glass

This type of float glass was developed to help control solar heat and glare in large areas of glass. It is available in blue, bronze, gray, or green.

The glass absorbs a portion of the sun’s energy because of its admixture contents and thickness; it then dissipates the heat to both the exterior and interior. The exterior glass surface rejects some heat, depending on the sun’s position. Heat-absorbing glass has a higher temperature when exposed to the sun than does clear glass; thus the central area expands more than the cooler shaded edges, causing edge tensile stress buildup.

Sound control glass

Laminated, insulating, laminated insulating, and double laminated insulating glass products commonly are used for sound control. STC ratings from 31 to 51 are available depending on glass thicknesses, air space size, polyvinyl butyral film thickness, and the number of laminated units used in insulating products
