    Glass and glazing can be manufactured in different ways such as sheet glass, plate glass, and float glass. There are also many types of glass including reflective glass, rolled and rough cast glass, cathedral and figured glasses, wired glass, heat absorbing plate glass, tempered plate glass, vitreous colored plate, laminated safety glass, insulating glass, and window glass. Glass is a hard brittle inorganic substance that is ordinarily transparent or translucent and is produced by melting a mixture of silica, flux, and stabilizers.

    GLASS AND GLAZING

    GLASS
    -Hard brittle inorganic substance, ordinarily transparent or
    translucent
    -Produce by melting a mixture of silca, flux and stabilizer
    -Has no definite melting point
    MANUFACTURING
    -SHEET GLASS - commonly used for as windows, transparent walls, and glass doors
    -PLATE GLASS - commonly used for as windows, transparent walls, and glass doors
    -FLOAT GLASS - is used for smaller windows in domesting housing, whereas larger
    windows are made from toughened glasses.
    SHEET GLASS FLOAT GLASS

    PLATE GLASS
    TYPES OF GLASS
    REFELCTIVE GLASS
    - used to control glare and reduce solar heat.
    - coated with micro-thin layers of metallic films
    which provide the performance characteristics
    of the glass
    - It reduces solar heat gain by reflecting the
    sun’s energy
    ROLLED AND ROUGH CAST GLASS
    - similar to plate glass
    - glass of this type is used where clear visions not required,
    such as by factory roofs and walls, windows for halls and
    staircases, skylights and partitions in offices
    CATHEDRAL AND FIGURED GLASSES
    - contain a pattern or texture impressed usually on one surface
    by a patterned roller
    WIRED GLASS
    - a rolled glass into which wire mesh is inserted during the
    process of manufacture.
    HEAT ABSORBING PLATE GLASS
    - because of its chemical composition, the glass absorbs a
    significant percentage of sun’s radiant energy, thus reducing
    the build up of heat within the building.
    - its color and the fact that it possesses lower light
    transmission than regular plate means that glare and
    brightness in the room are reduced.
    TEMPERED PLATE GLASS
    - three to five times stronger as a regular plate of the same
    thickness
    - used for swinging doors, sliding patio doors, windows in
    gymnasiums and sport areas, skating rink enclosures etc.
    VITREOUS COLORED PLATE
    - polished plate glass can be heat strengthened and coated on
    one side with vitreous color which is fire fused to the surface
    - widely used in curtain wall construction, store fronts,
    showrooms, laboratories and industrial buildings
    LAMINATED SAFETY GLASS
    - widely used in the automotive industry and transportation
    - it is made of two thickness of plate or sheet glass bonded
    by a thin, tough layer of polyvinyl butyral resin, a transparent
    plastic
    -
    INSULATING GLASS
    - consist of two sheets of plate or sheet glass, separated by
    an air space, and joined around the edges to produce a
    hermitically sealed unit.
    CLASSIFICATION OF SHEET GLASS
    Window Glass
    - used for glazing windows doors and storm sash in residential buildings where good light and
    vision are required at moderate cost.

    Heavy Sheet Glass


    - used for glazing windows and doors where greater strength is required but where slight
    distortion is not objectionable.

    Picture Glass
    - used for covering pictures, photographs, maps, charts projector slides and instrument dials
