There are eight main types: plate glass, embossed glass, insulating glass, tempered glass, laminated glass, high-performance insulating glass, glass mosaic, laminated glass.

Flat glass: flat glass is the traditional glass products, mainly used for doors and windows, play a role in light transmission, wind and heat preservation. Requirements for colorless, and has a good transparency and surface smoothness and flatness, no defects.

Embossed glass: also known as patterned glass and knurled glass, mainly used for doors and windows, indoor spacing, bathrooms and other places.

Mainly used for heating, air conditioning, anechoic facilities, the outer glass decoration.

Tempered glass: also known as reinforced glass. Characterized by high strength, its bending strength, impact strength than ordinary plate glass 3 to 5 times higher. Good safety performance, there is a uniform internal stress, broken net-like cracks. It is mainly used for doors, windows, partition walls and cabinet doors.

Impact strength is better than ordinary plate glass, good crime prevention. And have light resistance, heat resistance, moisture resistance, cold resistance, sound insulation and other special features. Mostly used for doors and windows bordering the outdoors.
