Glass types

Glass Design and Patterns

Have you ever asked yourself how many different types of glass exist today? There are so many type of glass that I have lost count already. Most us have only seen the most common ones

• Clear
• Bronze
• Gray
• Tempered
• Laminated
• Low-e glass

If you are planning to remodel your home, I would suggest you to at least ask your general contractor or contact a glass company to show you the type of glass available for your doors and windows. It is a good idea to put all the options on the table before choosing a glass design that way you won’t regret your decision in the near future. You might want to use a clear glass, obscure, or antique glass for your indoor windows.

Here is a great list for the most commonly used glass types with full description, images, and much more so you can get an idea of what is available to the general public.

• Everglade
• Flemish
• Glacier
• Obscure
• Reed
• Flax
• Illusion
• Florex
• Flutex
• Glue Chip
• Hammered
• Industrex
• Rain
• Aquatex
• Reed
• Sycamore

I have not listed all of them, but in case you want more information for any glass not listed let me know. I will get that information as soon as possible so you can see a photo and its description.  I am constantly updating other sections of my site with more information and sometime would take a while to comeback to this section. This is why I suggest to leave a comment or contact me.
