Residential and commercial glass is known for helping people protect themselves from UV rays. According to Shade, high-quality glass sheets are made from glass with a layer of laminated plastic in the middle, which blocks 98% to 99% of UV light. There are several glass applications that can help you enjoy the benefits of this material.

1. Storefront Glass

Storefront glass systems need to be durable. Store owners can't risk their entire storefront breaking because someone bumps into the glass outside. Instead, they need something stable and more energy efficient. That's where commercial glass comes in handy. These glass systems are known for being more durable than other options because they utilize two glass panels.

2. Glass Railings

Glass railing systems offer a modern aesthetic you won't get with other materials. The thick glass is durable, ensuring it won't break under the weight of someone leaning on it. This durable type of glass is often used for railings on balconies, other outdoor applications, or inside a house. Glass railings continue to increase in popularity because they are durable and gorgeous.

3. Curtain Walls

Glass curtain walls remain a popular option, especially for high-rise buildings. These walls let in plenty of natural light. Utilizing commercial glass services for these walls can instantly let you enjoy the many benefits of having more natural light in your environment while blocking the harmful effects of UV rays. They also provide the additional durability you need in large glass windows, making it an exceptional choice for the job.

4. Shower Glass

Shower glass is quickly becoming the material of choice over regular shower walls. The large glass panels are durable like other types of glass, but they offer additional benefits. They may provide UV protection, ensuring you're safe from the negative impacts of sun exposure. There are also soundproofing benefits, ensuring you can enjoy a relaxing shower without the noise from your family and busy world bothering you. Shower glass is the perfect material to help you transform your bathroom into a serene getaway.
