Tips To Choosing
THE BEST GLASS
The Phoenix skyline wouldn’t be the
same without those gleaming windows
reflecting the sunset in the evening.
You might have also noticed how the
right glass can enhance a building’s sleek
design or spruce up a home’s
curb appeal.
Most people don’t realize just how much
thinking goes into glass selection.
Today’s manufacturing processes
provide you with multiple options for

with the drawback of being
more prone to breakage.
Annealed
This type goes through a special
thermal process that makes it
four to five times stronger than
annealed.
You might prefer this type in
areas that get bumped regularly,
such as a front door.
Tempered
Parts of your building with
heightened safety and security
concerns can benefit from this
type.
Laminated glass has two panes
with special film in between that
makes it harder to
