Please note if this is going to have hot items on it you may be better to have toughened glass rather than float/annealed or laminated glass due to the potential of cracking from heat. Standard clear glass can have a green tinge especially when placed on light coloured surface, if you want to avoid this you should consider using Starphire/Superclear Low Iron glass. Unless this glass is encased around perimeter it is almost definite you will need edges polished. Float / Annealed Glass - All glass starts of as float/ annealed, because of this it is the most cost effective. This glass if broken is usually in shard like shapes. Float glass is not safety glass. Estimated lead time is 3-7 working days. Laminated Glass - Is 2 pieces of float / annealed glass with an interlayer sandwiched between them; this interlayer is poly vinyl butyrate (more commonly called PVB). The main benefit of this glass is; when broken it is held together because of the PVB, this makes it both a safe & secure product. The PVB also adds to better sound proofing. Laminated glass is safety glass. Estimated lead time is 5-10 working days. Toughened Glass - Is float glass cut to size, the sharp edges removed, then furnaced to heat strengthen it. Toughened glass when broken explodes and ends up in lots of small sharp pieces (this is what the old windscreens were made of to give you an idea) Toughened glass is safety glass. Estimated lead time is 7-15 working days. We have made this website as user friendly as possible, just follow the drop down boxes and they should guide you through the process. Please note although we endeavour to supply your glass to exact size requested there is a +/- tolerance of 2mm. With toughened glass at least one dimension must be a minimum of 300mm.
