Standard glass used for most windows. It can be baked to create tempered glass.
The basic glass type produced in the float process of making glass. Annealed glass, when compared with the same thickness and type of tempered glass, is weaker.
Glass cooled gradually during manufacture in an annealing operation to reduce residual stresses and strains that can occur during cooling. Technically the stress condition of ordinary glass which is glass that can be cut and processed. This is the normal cutable glass that is generally available.
Annealed glass is brittle and breakable, but is easy to cut.
See "Float glass". During the float glass manufacturing process, the hot glass is gently cooled in the "annealing lehr", which releases any internal stresses from the glass to enable the cutting and further processing of the glass post manufacture.
Standard sheet or plate glass.
Standard glass that is not safety rated.
another term for flat (float) glass that has not been further processed/fabricated; not a safety glass because it breaks into large, sharp pieces upon fracture.
The basic product produced in the float process.
A glass product that was manufactured in a process that allowed it to cool in a controlled fashion, thus preventing objectionable stress within the finished sheet of glass. Annealed glass is a very stable product which can be cut and processed in a variety of ways but when broken will not tear into shards which can cause severe bodily injury.
Regular glass which has not been heat strengthened or tempered. Most window glass is annealed.
