Which product is best for me?

Let’s face it. We’ve got a lot of products to pick from, and even more we don’t have listed on our website. So we understand that it can be hard to figure out which is best for you. But glass plays a bigger role in your building than you’d think, so it really is important you pick the right product.

Luckily, we’ve listed all of our Glass Types in one location to help you. However, if you get stuck, please contact us – we love helping customers find the right solution.

How should I clean my glass?

Always use a mild detergent that is specifically designed for use with glass and steer clear of any products that will introduce grit as this can cause scratches.

Also avoid any cleaners which contain Hydrofluoric or Phosphoric acid as they are corrosive to glass surfaces. If cleaning a mirror simply wipe the surface with a few drops of methylated spirits using a damp cloth. Always avoid contact with the silver backing, particularly at the edge of the glass as this can cause damage.

For a spotless surface finish by polishing your glass or mirror using a dry lint free cloth – voila, picture perfect!

Which type of glass is best suited to where I live?

To answer this question, we need to know a few things about your home.  Understanding what the climate is where you live as well as what direction your windows are facing allows us to give you the best advice for picking the right glass.

By choosing the right glass you can use the orientation of your house to your advantage. In addition to the position of your house, the position and shading of your windows is also an important consideration. In general, high insulation performance is a good option, while the level of solar control you’ll need depends on climate. Cooler climates favour products which allow in more heat, while warmer climates in the north of the country benefit from glass that keeps warmth out.

For more on choosing the right glass for your climate and house orientation check out our Energy Performance page where we get into the detail.
