This type of glass is most commonly seen in buildings constructed from the 1960s onwards.
With modern production techniques, float glass can easily be turned into safety glass. There are two main types: toughened (or tempered) and laminated.
The first is achieved by heat-treating it to create tempered or toughened glass. The other option is a laminated safety glass - sheets of float glass are stuck together with a special interlayer foil. This holds the glass in place in the event of breakage.
For the glazing of windows and doors below 800mm, laminated or toughened glass should be considered. We will be happy to assist you with this.
