Glass has been used for centuries for many purposes such from making bottles to windows, Interior decorations and building exteriors. Glass is indeed an amazing building material. With its versatility in form and function, glass has evolved to become – both aesthetically and functionally – extraordinarily well suited to address the requirements of the architect of today creating the modern cityscape. It is lightweight, transparent, appears fragile but is one of the toughest building materials available today. Used to deflect bullets, replace concrete walls and pillars, insulate against heat and light, glass is a building material that enhances safety, promotes comfort and aesthetics, makes buildings more cost-effective in construction and in maintenance.
