Architectural glass is designed for use as a building material. In the past days, the use of glass, due to its fragile nature was only limited to windows and doors. However, through the emergence of new trends in technology and modernization, people have learnt to embrace glass as a building item. Architectural glass is now being used for facades, display windows, revolving doors, staircases, canopies among others.
Apart from its ability to enhance structural beauty of a building, architectural glass has become popular to many people because it’s cost effective; the cost of glass material is relatively low compared to other building materials. Its ability to naturally pass light helps keep the room lit hence reducing the power bills cost.Glass has the ability to reduce noise, especially for people living and working near busy streets and industrial plants. Glass is very easy to clean especially if it is coated with a hydrophilic element.
There are various types of architectural glass available in the market today. These include; Plate glass commonly known as the sheet or flat glass,this type of glass is transparent and very suitable for walls, office partitions and windows. Float glass which is made by molting glass on a metal to achieve desired design, tint or color is also another architectural design. Wired glass design is also very common due to its fire resistance nature; the wired design has two layers of glass bound together and a metallic material laid in between.
