Gone are the days where you could only think of iron and steel for strength and durability. Thanks to the continual research in material science, there has been ground breaking developments of newer materials that are light weight and of greater strength. Furthermore, some of them are even flexible. Enhancements and progress in the field of material science have made the applied technologies much easier.

The same can be said of the glass industry. The need for progress in the glass industry was felt when it was slowly being replaced by plastics. Both meant for partial protection and to allow light to come in, but glass comes out on top thanks to its transparency. Plastics are less transparent, making them unsuitable in many ways but the same can't be said about its durability. Eventually glass was being replaced by plastic in many areas which is why the glass industry had to develop stronger versions without increasing cost.

Structural glass solutions were the outcome of the continued research and development process. These structural marvels were made out of glass, meaning they were completely transparent and see through. They are not as brittle as glass, making them good for structural use, carrying weight and providing security. High rise buildings were externally covered with these glass products, to make them look appealing and stunning. They also allow people on the inside to look out whilst providing strength and unbreakable qualities.

 
These technological marvels have helped overcome many restrictions in building and construction today. By using these glass products, the cost of construction can be brought down substantially with the enhancement of features. For example, houses can be better lit using open rooflights, which allows in more sunlight without the worry about security at night. They also help to reduce the cost of construction for a number of reasons. Firstly, these materials are light weight, resulting in easier ways of logistics and transportation. Secondly, they cost much less compared to concrete based constructions which is the traditional way of providing support and security. Ultimately, the overall cost of apartments can be reduced with a higher amount of light and energy let inside.

These glass items are not just decorative, they are functional as well. Their functionality can be enhanced or customised thanks to their flexibility. They can be used as an alternative full wall, or as open and fixed rooflight options around your home.

By choosing glass products you can enhance entry of natural sunlight inside any room you desire. You can even enjoy watching the night sky from the comfort of your bed or living room.
