Architects and decorators are innovatively using glass for a variety of applications from skylights to partitions, balustrades to staircases, and many-many more that make our surroundings look more spacious and beautiful.
In this past, this has led to a tradeoff with safety, security, energy efficiency, and noise insulation. Recent advances in glass technology show how one can achieve the following: |
- Safety
- Enhance lifestyle
- Improve natural lighting, thermal and acoustic performance of buildings both in residential and commercially application through innovative usage of glass.

Safety & Security
A commonly perceived notion is that glass compromises safety and security. However, continuous research and technology advances have made glass safer and more secure that it ever was.
Solutions like laminated glass in its various types are being widely used for the purpose of accidental protection. Commonly used in car windscreens, laminated glass ensures that glass does not shatter when hit by a baseball bat or even during natural calamities like earthquakes.
