As a key home decoration material, glass varies greatly in performance and application. Choosing the right glass improves safety, comfort and aesthetics. Below are details of the 6 most popular types:
✅Tempered Glass
Made from processed float glass, it is over 3x stronger than ordinary glass with high impact resistance. It breaks into small, blunt particles, reducing injury risk.
Application: Windows, doors, balcony railings, floor-spring glass doors.
Tip: Look for the 3C certification mark(on the edge).
✅Insulated glass
Insulated glass is the top choice for home energy saving. Insulated glass consists of two+ sealed panes with dry air inside. Insulated glass excels in sound, heat insulation and preservation. Choose insulated glass with 12mm layer and double sealing.
Insulated Glass Applications: Bedroom & living room windows, especially for noisy, street-facing homes.
Tip: Best air layer thickness: 12mm; use double sealing to prevent fogging.
✅Laminated Glass
Laminated glass boasts high safety. Laminated glass is bonded by two panes and an adhesive layer. Laminated glass won’t splash fragments when broken, safer than tempered glass. Laminated glass has sound insulation, suitable for large areas.
Laminated Glass Applications: Floor-to-ceiling windows, sunrooms, bathroom partitions. Required by national standard for glass over 6㎡.
✅Moru Glass
Moru glass, also Changhong glass, is a patterned type with vertical lines. Moru glass is made by vertical calendering. Moru glass is light-transmissive but not opaque, balancing privacy and lighting. Moru glass also can be made into laminated and insulated glass. We have various moru glass for selection.
Moru Glass Applications: Entrances, bathrooms, interior screens.
Moru Glass Tip: Choose low-iron Moru glass to avoid green tint; double-layer for better safety.
✅Frosted glass
Frosted glass is frosted ordinary glass. Frosted glass is translucent with good privacy.
Frosted Glass Applications: Kitchen & bathroom windows.
Tip: Frosted glass is easy to dirty and unsafe alone; combine frosted glass with insulated glass for better performance. Distinguish true frosted glass, avoid film imitations. Avoid fake “frosted film” products.
✅Low-E Glass
Low-E glass is the first choice for high-end home energy saving. Low-E glass has multi-layer metal coating. Low-E glass reflects 99% solar heat and UV, retains 80% light. Low-E glass has single/double/triple silver—more layers, better insulation. Low-e glass also can be made into insulated and laminated glass.
Low-E glass Applications: High-end windows, sunrooms.
Low-E GlassTip: Verify with a flashlight to check the special reflective coating.
📌Kunxing Glass Tips
