Types of Glass - TOML

Glass types are classified diversely based on manufacturing methods and applications. Float glass is the most common type, tempered glass offers 3-5 times the strength with high safety, laminated glass prevents scattering with an interlayer and has excellent security properties, and heat-resistant glass withstands rapid temperature changes. Understanding these characteristics is essential for selecting the appropriate glass for each application.
