Since 1985, Springfield Glass Company has provided businesses in the Springfield, Missouri, area with high-quality custom glass products and personalized service.
However, did you know that custom glass can transform your business? It enhances aesthetic appeal, functionality, energy efficiency, and security. By using modern glass types, you can elevate your commercial space and create a superior customer experience.
Glass Types Options for Custom Projects
If you’re interested in custom glass for your business, you have several types.
1. Safety Glass
Safety glass, also called toughened glass, undergoes a special cooling technique to create a certain effect. When safety glass breaks, it shatters rather than breaking into shards or cracks.
The shattered pieces may stay together and form a spider web-like object rather than exposing sharp edges that people can be severely cut on. Springfield Glass Company works with safety glass regularly.

2. Float Glass
The manufacturing process behind float glass creates a uniform appearance and level finish that’s strong and durable.
Float glass is ideal for large window panes and double glazing. Springfield Glass Company may use float glass in multi-story office buildings to give them a modern appearance.
3. Solar Control Glass
Solar control glass is tinted to maintain heat at various times of the year.
In the summer, solar control glass keeps buildings cool, while the glass keeps heat inside during winter. Solar control glass may have tinting to control what kind of ultraviolet radiation comes through. Springfield Glass Company may install solar control glass in commercial buildings.

4. Laminated Glass
Laminated glass remains intact during and after an impact, such as a heavy weight suddenly landing next to it, a rock smashing, or even a projectile firing toward it.
While not all laminated glass is bulletproof, it can be manufactured to be resistant. This bulletproof glass contains multiple layers to reinforce the internal structure and prevent cracks or disjointed pieces.
5. Patterned Glass
You might see patterned glass as part of a glass shower door that distorts the image on the other side of the glass.
Manufacturers use unique processes such as sandblasting, irregular heating, or rolling. Patterned glass serves a decorative purpose, especially if you want to have an effect like water waves, stripes, or textures. You can create traditional shapes, like those from historical eras, or modern patterns that create a contemporary appeal. Patterned glass also creates privacy for bathrooms and conference rooms while allowing light into the room.

Increased Comfort
Comfort and first impressions are significant elements of the customer experience. You want your guests and clients to feel comfortable when they visit your business, from when they walk in the front door to when they leave.
Enhance your waiting area with custom glass tabletops and shelves to create a great first impression for your clients. The glass will bring in more light and create a sense of spaciousness, helping your guests feel at ease while they wait.
Additionally, you might want to consider installing glass walls in your office conference room to elevate your clients’ experience.
Greater Visibility
Whether it’s a store, restaurant, or office building, custom glass helps create an open and spacious feeling for customers. This expansion helps increase visibility, which is essential to the shopping and dining experience.
Storefront glass plays a crucial role in attracting customers to your restaurant or store. After all, it’s the first thing they’ll see and influences their decision to enter.
Custom glass displays, shelves, and tables not only look attractive but also help draw customers into your business. Use beautiful, transparent glass from Springfield Glass Company to stand out from the competition and increase customer visibility.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Lastly, the look of your business matters to customers who want to get the most out of their experience. Custom glass creates attractive and memorable spaces for your business. Allure them with storefront glass, custom tabletops, and glass display cases.
By investing in the look of your store or office, your customers can enjoy the views, enjoy their experience, and then spread the word.
