Ordinary glass, also commonly referred to as both float glass and annealed glass, was typically the most common type of glass available before safety glass was introduced. Due to the increased amount of injuries caused by ordinary glass, however, many buildings are now required to comply with various standards, many of which require the installation of safety glass in areas that are of a high risk of human impact.
There are two different types of safety glass – Laminated glass & Toughened glass
Perhaps the most important aspect of each is that if it gets broken, it will neither shatter nor break apart into large pieces. This will, as a result, decrease the risk of injury.
