Glass for Beauty and Privacy

Glass can transform space with color, light, and pattern.
Used in doors as insets or panels, art glass allows light
to penetrate interior spaces while capturing the eye with
colors, patterns, and laminates that make an architectural statement.

Safety glass is recommended for vulnerable areas like doors.
Safety glass is made in two ways, either through tempering or laminating.
Tempered glass is made and cut to the specified thickness and size, then
heated in a tempering oven where temperatures reach 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Through rapid cooling, the surface tension of the glass increases, making it
four times stronger than standard glass. When tempered glass breaks, it dices
or crumbles leaving no sharp edges behind. Laminated glass, at its most simple,
involves a plastic interlayer that is fused between two pieces of glass. When broken,
the glass cracks but stays in place, giving it the added benefit of security.
