Yes, the market is flooded with products ' and glass is no exception. Like most things in life, this isn't a black-and-white, good-or-bad scenario. It has benefits for customers and can give them a mild headache, too.

The main difficulty lies in identifying quality. How do you know, for instance, that one sheet of glass is clearer or stronger or more thermally efficient than another? To the untrained eye, they all look pretty much the same, don't they?

That's why we've put together this guide to spotting quality in glass products. We hope it helps you choose the right materials for your project, whether it's a DIY job or a commercial enterprise.

1. Clarity

Not all glass, however, has an equally high level of clarity. This is because the manufacturing process can create unwanted optical distortions.

Take roller wave distortion in toughened glass. This happens during the manufacturing process. As the molten glass cools, it passes over large rollers, leaving a slightly wavy appearance.

Roller wave distortion doesn't affect the strength or durability of the glass. Often, you can only see it in a certain light. Even so, you want to be sure the level of roller wave distortion in your order is acceptable. Your best bet is to work with a reputable, experienced processor with high-end equipment.

The same goes for tiny scratches, bubbles, blisters and particle inclusions. Make sure these defects are kept to a bare minimum or eliminated altogether for peace of mind.

2. Energy efficiency

In recent decades, building regulations and best practices have changed dramatically in the glass and fenestration sector.
