The best glass depends on the building's needs, including factors like energy efficiency, safety, and aesthetics. Options range from tempered and laminated to low-E and tinted glass.
Commercial grade glass refers to glass designed to meet the specific requirements of commercial buildings, including durability, safety standards, and thermal performance.
Glass thickness in commercial buildings can vary, typically ranging from 12mm to 15mm, depending on the project's requirements and the desired performance characteristics.
Commercial windows are generally larger, have thicker glass, and must meet higher standards for energy efficiency, safety, and durability compared to residential windows.
It depends on the glass specification, the height and access involved, and how much disruption the building can take. We survey the site first, then give you a clear, itemised quote with no surprises.
