This topic includes information related to mirrors installed during construction.  Mirrors are typically used in bathrooms for the purpose of grooming.  Flat surface or plane mirrors can be framed or unframed glass or plastic material that provide a reflective surface.

This topic includes information related to glazing surface films installed during construction.  Glazing surface films are applied to a glass or glazed surface openings or storefronts.  The application of the film modifies the performance and appearance of the glass.  Film is used in a variety of applications for solar control, safety and security.

This topic includes information related to special function glazing installed during construction.  Special function glazing offers glass with specific characteristics for applications that require additional protection or unique construction.

Most glass used in glazing today begins as float glass, so called because it is produced by floating molten glass onto molten tin. This primary glass may be clear or tinted and is produced in several standard thicknesses. The typical process for producing glass involves reheating and then slowly cooling the glass to reduce internal stresses. The result of that process is annealed glass. Annealed glass may be heated a second time followed by rapid cooling to produce heat treated (strengthened) or fully tempered glass.
