Types of Custom Glass
Popular options for custom glass in Calgary:
- Tempered glass. It is highly resistant to breakage and shattering, making it ideal for applications where safety is paramount, such as custom glass doors and tabletops.
- Frosted glass. Frosted custom glass features a translucent surface that diffuses light, providing privacy without sacrificing natural light. It is often used in bathrooms, office partitions, and decorative elements to add a touch of elegance and sophistication.
- Tinted glass. Tinted glass is treated with a special coating or film to reduce glare and heat transmission while maintaining visibility. It is commonly used in windows, doors, and sunrooms to regulate indoor temperatures and enhance energy efficiency.
You can buy these and other types of glass on the official website of our store.
