Glass Door Repair
Float Glass - the modern practice to create any size of perfectly flat and consistent glass.
Annealed Glass - float glass that is cooled slowly to increase its strength, however
breaks into large shards, and is rarely used as building material because of this safety
hazard.
Heat Strengthened Glass - this type of glass shatters very easily and is used for building
material only when it is laminated.
Fully Tempered Glass - is made from further processing annealed glass with extreme
heat. The resulting material will break into granular pieces instead of shards. This is used
on safety glasses.
Heat Soaked Tempered Glass - takes the process one step further to remove almost all
microscopic imperfections from the glass, increasing its strength and vastly reducing the
chances of it breaking.
Wire Glass - the type that has extremely thin lines of metal running through it. These are
used on fire doors because the wire holds even broken glass in place and will continue to
prevent the fire from spreading.
Insulated Glass - two pieces of glass are separated by an air gap, which insulates around
20% better than a single pane.
