Glass is a non-crystalline (amorphous) material that can be transparent or translucent. It is manufactured using the float process, where molten glass is poured over a bed of liquid tin and cooled under controlled conditions to achieve a smooth, uniform surface. The raw materials typically include sand, limestone, soda ash, dolomite, and other additives, heated at very high temperatures to form high-quality glass.
In Dexora aluminium windows and doors, different types of glass are used based on performance, safety, and design requirements.
Also known as flat glass, this is basic glass formed through controlled cooling to remove internal stress. It offers good clarity and can be cut, shaped, and polished as required.
Thermally treated to be up to 4 times stronger than regular glass, it is highly impact-resistant. When broken, it shatters into small, less harmful pieces, making it a safer option.
Stronger than annealed glass (about 2 times), it offers better resistance to thermal stress. When broken, it forms larger pieces that tend to remain in place for some time.
Ideal for privacy, this glass allows light to pass through while blocking clear visibility. It is created using sandblasting or acid etching techniques.
Made by sealing two or more glass panes with an air or gas layer in between, this type improves thermal insulation and helps reduce heat transfer and noise.
Consists of multiple glass layers bonded with a special interlayer (PVB). It is widely used for safety, as broken pieces stick to the layer instead of falling apart.
Used for both aesthetics and performance, tinted glass helps reduce glare, control sunlight, and enhance the overall look of the space.
