Safety glass is much stronger than ordinary glass and is specially made to reduce the chance of injury if broken. Our glaziers can custom-craft safety glass in just about any size and shape, tinted or clear, with custom edging if desired.
Types of Safety Glass
There are two different types of safety glass:
-
Laminated Safety Glass – Two pieces of glass bonded together with a vinyl layer, which keeps the fragments from spraying like shrapnel when broken.
-
Tempered Safety Glass – Glass that’s been heated and then cooled rapidly, resulting in strong, durable glass that shatters into granular and relatively harmless pieces when broken.
Why Install Safety Glass?
There are many benefits to installing safety glass in your home. While break-ins are one of the most common reasons for safety glass installations, safety glass can also help minimize accidents and reduce weather-related damage. Many home insurance policies even offer discounts for installing safety glass windows.

An Affordable Alternative
Plexiglas is a convenient glass alternative preferred by many homeowners that we can install. Not only is it resistant to cracks, fractures, and other impacts, but it can also withstand intense weather conditions. We can add texture and color to match the style of your home.
