Glass Types for Commercial Properties: Safety, Tinting & Insulation

Home / Glass Types for Commercial Properties: Safety, Tinting & Insulation

Hook: Commercial buildings in New Jersey need more than just “regular” glass — safety standards and energy codes make window choice a big deal.

Sneak Peek: Here are the four most common glass options used by Keystone Roofing Siding Windows in office and retail projects.

Story: A storefront in Howell swapped its old plate glass for modern laminated windows. The difference in noise reduction and security was noticeable immediately.

1. Laminated Safety Glass

Ideal for ground-level windows. Laminated glass holds together when cracked, improving security.

2. Tinted Commercial Glass

Tinted windows reduce glare and heat — especially helpful in sunny front-facing entrances.

3. Insulated Glass Units (IGUs)

  • Double-pane or triple-pane
  • Great for reducing heating and cooling costs

4. Low-E Glass

A thin coating helps control temperature and UV exposure, protecting indoor furnishings.
