Door Insert Safety Glass Options

To select the best glass for your door inserts, it is ideal to consider the desired privacy level, safety, energy efficiency, and overall style. Various methods of safety glass can be fabricated using pattern glass for doors, transoms, and sidelights. Safety requirements vary according to state and application – it’s always great to check online or with a general contractor to ensure glass inserts are a safe choice. A sales representative can also assist you with the ideal fabrication make-up for the glass inserts in your door. In some cases, safety glass can be used to improve UV and energy efficiency.

Tempered glass

Tempered safety glass involves heating and rapidly cooling the glass to strengthen it. It is ideal when used for interior home or office door inserts. Tempered glass is heat treated to be stronger and break in a controlled fashion that is less dangerous than annealed glass.

Laminated glass

Laminated glass is a more complex manufacturing process, composed of two or more glass panels that are joined together by an interlayer. Laminated glass can block harmful UV rays to retain internal temperature and help with energy efficiency. Laminated glass is the recommendation for exterior door glass inserts. Laminating glass is more expensive than tempering due to the manufacturing but is also thicker and more durable.

Insulated glass units

Insulated glass consists of two or more pieces of glass separated by a spacer. The thickness of the glass panes used can vary according to preferences.  Glass panes may be comprised of laminated or tempered glass compounding the benefits of both when safety is a concern. Insulated Glass Units, or IGUs, can additionally help with UV protection and energy efficiency.
