Types of Glass for uPVC Doors and Windows

What glass types can go in uPVC doors and windows? Here's the full range.

The options available

uPVC frames take a wide range of glass — the frame is the same; the glass is what you choose per opening.

How to choose

Look for this

  • Plain (annealed) — for sheltered openings
  • Toughened — strength and safe breakage
  • Laminated — noise and security
  • Frosted — privacy
  • Tinted — glare and heat
  • Double-glazed units — heat and noise

What we'd suggest

The frame doesn't change; the glass does. That's why we go opening by opening — frosted in the bathroom, laminated on the road side, plain where nothing more is needed.
