What are the main types of glass?
Annealed Glass
Breaks easily, typically in long sharp shards.
Heat strengthened glass
Resistant to breakage, 2X as strong as annealed glass, breaks in large shards.
Fully Tempered Glass
Resistant to breakage, 4X as strong as annealed glass, shatters completely in small pieces, typically vacates the frame after impact.
Laminated Glass
Resistant to penetration, breaks upon impact, tends to keep shards intact upon and after breakage. Two or more pieces of glass adhered together by interlayer.
