Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) $$$
A window or door unit consisting of two or more panes of glass separated by a spacer and sealed to create a single assembly. Provides enhanced thermal insulation and soundproofing compared to single-pane glass.
Single - Laminated Glass $$
Consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a layer of plastic (usually polyvinyl butyral or PVB) between them. Provides enhanced safety and security as the glass tends to adhere to the plastic interlayer when broken.
Single - Regular Glass $
"Single" or “regular" glass. It is the basic flat glass product created by the float glass process. It gets its name from the annealing process used to slowly cool the glass to relieve any internal stresses after the glass has been formed.
Annealed glass is cheaper than other types of glass because it does not go through any additional manufacturing processes. It also offers versatility and flexibility from a design standpoint because it can be cut into in a variety of styles and designs, including being curved.
