Plain glass is used for many purposes but three major uses are for window glass, picture glass and greenhouse glass. Each is different in specification and thickness dependant upon its use. Picture Glass Normally 2mm plain glass is used, but to avoid unwanted reflections in difficult lighting conditions, diffused finished glass may be used instead. Window Glass Can be 3mm, 4mm or 6mm panes. Toughened Glass should be used whenever there is a danger of persons walking into or falling through the window, such as on single pane patio doors and French windows, and also on any large window mounted above the ground floor. Greenhouse Glass Will normally be 2mm for lightness, with the the exception of of moving windows and doors which should be 3mm. |

Toughened & Laminated Glass Laminated glass fractures but does not shatter. Typical use of laminated glass is in car windscreens but can be used for many purposes where it is important that an impact does not produces dangerous shards of glass. |
