Uses & Applications

The main uses of glass in buildings and houses are, of course, the most obvious and visible ones: façades and windows. Today’s glass products for commercial and residential buildings and for dwelling houses represent highly evolved technologies, nothing like the simple window panes of the past. Light, comfort, wellbeing, style, safety and security, and sustainability are among the benefits of today's high-performing windows and glass building façades. The ability to control heat, light, and sound transmission to a high degree enable architects to design buildings for a greatly reduced impact on the environment and dwellings that are quiet, comfortable and safe. Glass also finds application in interior decoration and furniture.
