Common Specifications
- Common architectural glass types include clear float, tinted, reflective, frosted/sandblasted, laminated, tempered, heat soaked tempered, insulated glass units, and acoustic laminated glass.
- Glass thickness should be selected by application, panel size, fixing method, safety requirement, and supplier processing capability.
- Frameless doors and partitions require compatible hinges, patch fittings, floor springs, handles, locks, seals, and accurate site levels.
- Shower cubicles require correct slope, waterproofing awareness, hardware grade, seal selection, and tempered safety glass.
- Glass railings and exposed panels should be reviewed as engineered systems, often requiring laminated tempered glass rather than monolithic panels.
