Glazing Guide
Essential Guide to Understanding Glass Types
Whether you are a homeowner or builder, understanding the performance and options of windows and doors is crucial to making decisions.
A beautiful home with great windows is always appreciated, but choosing the right glass can be challenging. With all the options available, deciding which type of glass suits your needs can be difficult, especially when you are focused on frame styles and other details. To help you navigate this decision, we have compiled a helpful guide covering the different types of glass, their performance, and the variety of options you can consider for your project.

Double-Glazed
Plain White Insulating Glass
Efficient Thermal Insulation – Sealed air or inert gas layer reduces heat transfer, keeping interiors cool in summer and warm in winter while improving energy efficiency.
Excellent Sound Insulation – Reduces noise by 30–40 dB, with strong performance against mid-to-low frequency sounds.
Clear & Comfortable Vision – High light transmittance brightens interior spaces while minimizing condensation and fog in cold conditions.
Safe & UV Protective – Made from tempered or laminated glass for impact resistance, while blocking UV rays to protect occupants and interiors.
Plain White
Ultra-Clear Insulating Glass
High Transparency & Modern Aesthetics – Over 90% visible light transmittance delivers bright, natural lighting with a clean, contemporary look.
Superior Thermal Performance – Insulating air layer blocks heat in summer and retains warmth in winter, outperforming standard insulating glass.
Sound Insulation & Anti-Condensation – Reduces noise by 30–40 dB and minimizes condensation and frost in cold or humid conditions.
Safe & Durable Construction – Made from tempered glass for high impact resistance; breaks into blunt fragments to enhance safety.
Ultra White
Triple Glazed & Silver Coated
Triple Glazed Two Cavity Glass
Exceptional Thermal Insulation – Three glass layers with two insulating cavities effectively block heat exchange, improving energy efficiency and stabilizing indoor temperatures.
Superior Sound Insulation – Multi-layer structure reduces noise by 35–45 dB, significantly blocking external noise.
Anti-Condensation & UV Protection – Minimizes condensation and frost while maintaining good light transmittance and blocking harmful UV rays.
Strong & Safe Structure – Highly resistant to wind pressure and impact; broken fragments remain intact, ensuring enhanced safety.
Double-Silver Coated Double-Glazed Insulated Glass (Low-E)
Enhanced Energy Efficiency – Double-silver Low-E coating reflects more solar heat, delivering superior thermal insulation and outperforming single-silver Low-E glass.
Balanced Daylighting & Shading – Allows sufficient natural light while reducing glare and softening indoor lighting for improved visual comfort.
Reduced Cooling & Heating Demand – Minimizes heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, significantly lowering air-conditioning energy consumption.
Durable & Long-Lasting Performance – Chemically stable coating maintains optical and energy-saving performance over time, ideal for offices, schools, and commercial buildings.
Silver Coated Double-Glazed Glass (Low-E)
Reliable Thermal Insulation – Single-silver Low-E coating with an insulating air layer reflects indoor heat in winter and reduces solar heat gain in summer.
Good Optical Performance – Maintains comfortable natural daylight while blocking part of UV radiation to protect interiors.
Cost-Effective Solution – More affordable than double-silver or triple-silver Low-E options, balancing performance and budget.
Ideal for Residential & Light Commercial Use – Well suited for projects where reasonable energy efficiency is required without premium costs.
Triple-Silver Coated Double-Glazed Insulated Glass (Low-E)
Ultimate Thermal Insulation – Triple-silver Low-E coating blocks nearly all solar infrared heat, keeping interiors cool in summer and warm in winter.
Exceptional Energy Efficiency – Minimizes heat gain and heat loss, making it ideal for ultra-low energy and high-performance buildings.
Outstanding Optical Quality – High visible light transmittance with an ultra-low shading coefficient ensures bright, comfortable indoor lighting.
Premium & Customizable Design – Available in various colors to meet architectural aesthetics, widely used in high-end residences, hotels, museums, and commercial landmarks.
Fire Rated Glass
Class C Composite Fireproof Glass
Made of tempered glass with a special fire-resistant interlayer that expands under high temperatures to form a protective barrier. This structure helps maintain fire integrity while reducing heat radiation during a fire.
High-Borosilicate Fireproof Glass
Designed with exceptional thermal stability, this glass resists sudden temperature changes and delivers reliable fire protection without cracking, making it ideal for demanding fire-safety applications.
Laminated Fireproof Glass
Constructed with multiple glass layers and a fire-resistant interlayer that foams and expands when exposed to fire, forming an effective insulating barrier. Offers stable fire performance and UV resistance.
AGC Laminated Fireproof Glass
A high-performance laminated fire-rated glass that expands progressively under fire conditions, providing consistent and reliable fire resistance. Performs well in both high-temperature and low-temperature environments.
