Glasses can be broadly characterized as raw glasses and processed glasses. Processed glasses are made by heat strengthening to make them stronger. Clear, frosted, tinted and reflective glasses are all forms of clear glasses on the other hand. laminated, toughened & insulated glasses are all types of processed glasses.

1. Clear/Float Glasses - It is the most basic form of glass available in the market today. These are colourless, transparent glass that provides a clear view.

2. Frosted Glasses -Clear glass is made translucent by sandblasting or acid etching for privacy purposes, such glasses are known as frosted glasses. These glasses are very useful when you need privacy without blocking the complete light transmission in your home.

3. Tinted Glasses  - As the name suggest these are colored glasses available in different tints of colors. These tinted glasses can absorb energy from solar radiation and cuts down the sun’s heat from transmitting inside. It makes the interiors comfortable and exteriors extremely aesthetically pleasing.

4. Reflective Glass - These glasses are normal float glasses with a metallic coating that has the ability of reflective the sun's heat. This special metallic coating also gives rise to the one-way mirror effect wherein only the side subjected to higher intensity of light will be visible and the other side will just behave like a mirror. That means in the day time you can see outside from inside but not from outside to inside and vice versa in the night time.

5. Toughened Glass - Normal float glasses are heated at a very high temperature and then are suddenly cooled which creates internal stress within the glass molecules forcing them to accumulate closer to each other. Such heat-strengthened glasses are known as toughened glasses. These glasses are 4 times stronger than the normal float glasses. These toughened glasses along with uPVC sliding windows can be used for balcony enclosures where security is a prime concern. These glasses are also known as safety glasses since they break into small fragments which do not have sharp edges making them extremely safe even if you have kids at home.

6. Insulated Glass Unit( IGU)- It is a prefabricated glass unit that compromises of 2 or more glasses of different thickness and strength bounded together and separated by an aluminum spacer. The gaps between the 2 glass sheets are filled with inert gases to make it complete moisture absorbing. These insulated glass units, when used with uPVC casement windows, are known to reduce noise pollution to a very significant level where it would not be a botheration.
