Coated Glass
Made using a variety of commercial glass types, such as low-iron or standard glass, coatings enhance a pane’s performance for its intended use.
Coated glass is created by applying an ultra-thin layer to a sheet’s surface during manufacturing. Most commercial glass coatings are invisible to the naked eye, though some are intentionally colored to tint a glass sheet.
Glass coatings are applied in two ways:
- Soft coats are sprayed on a pre-cut glass sheet inside a vacuum chamber and left to harden through a process called sputter coating.
- Hard coats are applied as a chemical vapor to a glass sheet that’s heated to a high temperature. As the glass cools, the vapor condenses and bonds to its surface.
To ensure a piece of coated glass performs as intended, glass sheet fabrication occurs before a coating is applied. This preserves the coating’s integrity and prevents damage during additional processing.
Coated Glass Applications
Coated glass products are made to perform to their specific application.

- Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic Sheets for Commercial Projects
8 Key Factors to Consider When Choosing Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic When you’re quoting a commercial glass project, the right material depends on more than just appearance. Strength, clarity, workability, lead time, budget, and the final application all matter – especially when the project calls for a glass alternative rather than traditional glass. Polycarbonate and acrylic sheets are two of the most common alternatives to glass.
- Laminated Glass vs. Polycarbonate: Which is the Better Option?
In commercial applications, laminated glass is a popular choice for its durability and safety features. But there are times when alternatives such as polycarbonate may be more suitable. In this article, we’ll explore the differences between laminated glass and polycarbonate glass substitutes in terms of strength, cost-effectiveness, and other factors. We'll also discuss why each material type might be preferred for different uses in commercial buildings. By better understanding these distinctions, you can make an informed decision about which alternative best suits your project's needs –laminated glass vs. polycarbonate.
