Safety Glass, Plate Glass, and Tempered Glass Services
Types of Safety Glass for Your Property
Safety glass is specially designed to prevent injury and withstand impact, making it an excellent choice for both homes and commercial spaces. Here’s an overview of the different types of safety glass we offer:
- Tempered Glass: Is a toughened form of glass created through thermal or chemical processes. Tempered glass offers exceptional strength—up to four times stronger than regular glass—and breaks into small, blunt pieces upon impact, which reduces the risk of injury. It’s ideal for high-contact areas like glass doors, shower doors, office partitions, and balcony enclosures, making it a top choice for multi-family residential, commercial, and custom home projects.
- Wire Mesh Glass: This type of glass contains a mesh of thin metal wires embedded within the glass, providing an added layer of strength. Often used for reinforced applications, wire mesh glass offers a unique balance of visibility and safety, commonly seen in settings requiring both fire resistance and impact protection, such as industrial buildings and certain residential applications.
- Laminated Glass: Laminated glass consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer, providing durability and preventing shattering on impact. This type of glass works well for storefronts, windows, and doors where you need enhanced security and noise reduction.
Each of these types of safety glass offers a balance of strength, durability, and functionality. At Cedarwood Glass, we’re here to help you select the most suitable type for your space, ensuring maximum safety and performance.
Professional Tempered Glass Installations
Tempered glass is a popular choice for areas where durability and safety are essential. The process of rapid heating and cooling creates tempered glass. Resulting in glass that is not only strong but also shatters safely on impact. Here are some of the common applications for tempered glass:
Interior and Exterior Doors
Tempered glass is perfect for doors, including sliding doors and patio doors, where safety and visibility are important.
Balcony and Deck Enclosures
Its strength makes it ideal for outdoor applications where protection from wind and impact is needed.
Shower and Tub Enclosures
In bathrooms, tempered glass provides a sleek, modern look while ensuring safety in wet and high-contact areas.
Furniture and Shelving
Custom-cut tempered glass is also used for tabletops, cabinet doors, and shelving, providing a stylish yet practical addition to homes and offices.
With professional installation services from Cedarwood Glass, you can count on our team to ensure your tempered glass is installed safely and securely. We handle every aspect of the process, from custom sizing to installation, guaranteeing quality results every time.
Plate Glass for Commercial and Residential Applications
Plate glass, also known as flat glass or sheet glass, is another versatile option suitable for both homes and commercial settings. Traditionally manufactured by pouring molten glass onto metal tables, modern plate glass is produced using a float glass process, ensuring a smooth, uniform finish.
- Windows and Partitions: Plate glass is widely used in windows and office partitions, providing a clear view while adding a polished, professional touch.
- Retail Display Cases: Its clarity and strength make plate glass an excellent choice for retail display cases, allowing customers a clear view of products.
- Office and Storefronts: Plate glass can be custom cut to any size, making it suitable for larger applications like storefronts and office entrances.
We offer reinforced plate glass with varying thicknesses to suit different safety and durability needs. Our team at Cedarwood Glass will help you choose the right specifications for your project to ensure longevity and performance.
