While looking at the beautifully constructed modern homes in your locality, you may not necessarily notice any difference in the glass used in such homes and the glass used in older homes. However, there’s more to the glass than what meets the eye! Modern homes use high-performance glass, which is very different from the plain panes of glass that you see in older homes. High-performance glass is designed in a unique way to meet the needs of homeowners. Where regular glass can shatter easily, high-performance glass is solid and resilient.
Regarding the different types of glasses you should browse, here are a few high-performance options that you definitely cannot ignore.
You must have learnt about the harmful rays of the sun in school. UV and infrared rays can lead to the development of skin cancer and other health concerns, which is why it is essential to minimise your exposure to them. One way to do that is by installing Low-E glass or low emission glass in your windows and sliding doors. This type of glass only allows visible light to pass through it and enter your home. In other words, it blocks UV rays and infrared rays, ensuring that you are safe. This is one of the different types of glasses that many homeowners are using today.
While light entering certain parts of the home can be a boon, light in other factors can be a curse as it can make it challenging to sit in that room when it gets too hot. In such cases, the best course of action is to get solar control glass. This is a particular type of glass that has an oxide coating. The coating ensures that the sun’s rays bounce off the surface of the glass and do not enter your home. Natural light will still enter your home, and you won’t have to worry about a dimly lit environment. The primary function is to prevent the buildup of heat. The most significant benefit of this is that you won’t have to rely on the AC all the time.
You cannot go wrong with solar Low-E glass when it comes to different types of glasses that offer dual functions. This glass has the same solar coating as solar control glass and has Low-E glass properties. This means that it will ensure that the sun’s heat bounces off the surface and does not lead to heat accumulation indoors. It will also ensure that the UV rays and infrared rays do not enter your home. Such glass is a good option for areas in your home that need to be well-lit and in constant use.
High-performance glass has many applications, and you can use it to beautify your home quite easily. Some of the common ways to use these different types of glasses in your home are:
Every organisation wants to provide a contemporary and inspiring space for their employees to work in. This is why modern commercial areas are high in demand. One of the main elements that can help create a professional ambience is the types of glasses you use on the exterior of the building and the interior.
