Why conventional glass is often the wrong choice today
Glass has been used for decades in transparent applications – outdoors, in shopfitting or DIY projects. However, conventional glass is heavy, fragile and can lose quality under long-term UV exposure. Especially in outdoor or high-traffic areas, this often leads to safety risks, high replacement costs and unnecessary maintenance.
