The coloured glass market is well known to architects, designers, businesses as well as general home owners. Colours, designs and styles are freely accessible on the web, equipping you to make good decisions for a coloured glass project. There is one element however, that usually contains little clarity: glass prices.
Various factors influence coloured glass prices:
1. Glass Types:
- Annealed Glass
This glass is standard glass, typically there is a green tinge to the colour of the glass. This is the most cost effective form of glass.
- Low Iron (Ultra Clear) Glass
This glass type is clear due to the lower iron content. This is the preferred glass type for coloured glass.
- Patterned glass (glass manufactured with a particular design/pattern)
Patterned glass adds a decorative flair to glass applications
