Selecting canopy glass requires the safety, span, climate, and functional etc. What kind of glass popular use for canopy? Today let’s talk about it:
1. The most popular glass type are the tempered glass and laminated glass
Canopy glass must withstand wind/rain impact.
Tempered glass is 3-5x stronger than annealed glass and shatters into blunt granules (reducing injury risks). Laminated glass (e.g., 6+6mm, 8+8mm tempered) retains glass fragments on PVB interlayer when broken, preventing falling hazards. Essential for overhead canopies.For standard residential canopies (span ≤3m), 12mm laminated tempered glass (6+6mm) provides optimal safety and value.
2. About the advantage:
Tempered glass is the safety glass, could make it as different color glass canopy, including the ultra clear tempered glass canopy, clear toughened glass canopy, frosted tempered glass canopy, silkscreen printed tempered glass canopy, etc.
Laminated glass, except all advantages of the tempered glass, the PVB interlayer could adjust to make any colors, and it’s more safety than tempered glass, but if your budget cost limited, then choose tempered glass.
Easy to maintain and clean.
3. Glass shape, no matter curve or flat glass canopy, can be finished well.
