Look closely at the glass edge: tempered glass will have a smooth, slightly rounded edge without sharp corners. Untempered glass has a sharp, unfinished edge. You may also notice small nicks or divots in the glass edge. Tempered glass has undergone intense heating and rapid cooling, so its surface is more durable.
Annealed Glass Less expensive, Good visibility
Laminated Glass Strong material, shatter-resistant glass
Low-E Glass Energy-efficient, thermal coating that lasts 10 to 15 years
Tinted Glass Promotes greater privacy, heat transfer resistant
