If you’re unsure which type of glass is right for your windows, doors, showers, or office partitions, here’s a quick guide to help you decide.
Clear Glass – The Classic Choice
Best for: Residential windows, storefronts, glass doors
Clear glass offers full visibility and a clean look. It’s the most common type used in residential windows and commercial storefronts. While simple, it pairs beautifully with modern or traditional frames.
Tempered Safety Glass – Strong & Secure
Best for: Shower enclosures, commercial doors, office partitions
Tempered glass is four times stronger than standard glass. It’s heat-treated for strength and designed to shatter into small, safe pieces. Ideal for areas requiring durability and safety, like bathrooms, offices, and entryways.
Frosted or Obscure Glass – Privacy with Style
Best for: Bathroom windows, front door inserts, office partitions
Frosted glass offers privacy while still allowing light through. Perfect for bathrooms or private office spaces, it comes in a variety of textures and levels of opacity.
Low-E Glass – Energy-Efficient Living
Best for: Residential window replacement, sun-facing rooms
Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass has a special coating that reflects heat and UV rays. It helps regulate indoor temperatures, lowers your energy bills, and protects furniture from sun damage — a smart choice for any North Texas home.
Tinted Glass – Style Meets Sun Control
Best for: Commercial buildings, sunrooms, large window walls
Tinted glass reduces glare and solar heat gain while offering a sleek, modern look. It’s commonly used in commercial buildings or residential sunrooms to keep interiors cool and stylish.
Laminated Glass – Noise Reduction & Security
Best for: Exterior windows, high-traffic areas
Laminated glass features a vinyl layer between two glass sheets, offering better sound insulation and protection against break-ins or storm damage. A great option for homes near busy streets or commercial properties needing extra security.
Custom Decorative Glass – Unique Designs for Any Space
Best for: Entryways, decorative windows, upscale interiors
Looking for something that stands out? We create custom etched, patterned, and colored glass to elevate the look of your home or office. The design possibilities are endless!
