What types of glass can you order in Haarlem?
Not every type of glass is suitable for every application. Glass for windows must insulate well. Glass for a shower enclosure must be safe. Glass for a table top requires strength, thickness and a neat edge finish. That is why you can order different [types of custom-made glass] from Glastotaal.
Popular types of glass are:
| Glass type | Commonly used application |
|---|---|
| Single glass | Interior doors, small windows, renovation or temporary use |
| HR++ glass | Insulating glazing for homes and commercial properties |
| Triple glass | Very good insulating glass with suitable window frames |
| Vacuum glass | Thin insulating glass for existing or narrower window frames |
| Tempered glass | Shower walls, doors, table tops and kitchen back walls |
| Laminated glass | Safety glass, roof glass, balustrades and fall protection |
| Mirror glass | Bathrooms, shops, bedrooms and gyms |
| Figure glass | Privacy glass for doors, bathrooms and toilets |
| Frosted glass | Privacy at windows, doors and glass walls |
| Soundproof glass | Homes or offices with noise pollution |
Are you unsure which type of glass is suitable? Then look at application, safety, insulation, size, thickness, weight and mounting. In our knowledge base we explain what you should pay attention to per type of glass.
Popular applications in Haarlem
In Haarlem, custom glass is widely used in renovation, sustainability, apartments, older homes, shops, catering and modern interiors. The combination of historic buildings, mansions, upstairs apartments, 1930s homes, city apartments and business premises means there are many different applications.
Common situations are:
- HR++ installing glass in existing window frames;
- replace single glass with insulating glass;
- replace old double glazing with HR++ glass;
- custom mirror for bathrooms;
- custom shower enclosure for bathroom renovation;
- glass table top for dining table, desk or coffee table;
- glass kitchen back wall;
- safety glass on low windows or doors;
- sound-resistant glass on busy roads;
- glass for shops, offices and catering;
- glass for veranda, windbreak or balustrade.
Especially in older homes in Haarlem, it is important to check in advance which glass fits. Not every existing frame has sufficient space for thick insulating glass. Sometimes HR++ glass is possible, sometimes vacuum glass or monumental glass is a better solution.
Order glass for homes in Haarlem
Many homes in Haarlem are being renovated or made more sustainable. Replacing glass is often a smart step. Single glazing or old double glazing can cause cold trap, condensation, draft feeling and heat loss.
Replacing glass can be interesting for:
- cold windows;
- condensation on the inside;
- single glazing;
- old double glazing;
- leaking double glazing;
- higher energy costs;
- noise pollution;
- renovation of window frames;
- making the home more sustainable.
With existing window frames you should always check what glass thickness is possible. HR++ glass often fits, but not always without adjustments to glazing beads, rubbers or ventilation grilles. Therefore, first check whether thicker insulating glass fits in your existing frame.
Order glass for apartments and upstairs apartments in Haarlem
Customized glass is also often useful in apartments and upstairs apartments. Think of insulating glass, mirrors, shower walls, balcony glazing, table tops or glass for interior doors.
Check apartments in advance:
- is there an elevator?
- Does the glass plate fit in the elevator?
- does the glass fit through the entrance?
- are corridors and bends spacious enough?
- does the glass have to go through the stairwell?
- can the delivery person get close to the entrance?
- is there enough space to safely place glass?
- Is the glass plate not too heavy to move yourself?
This is extra important for large mirrors, shower walls, table tops and glass walls. So not only measure the place where the glass will be placed, but also the route inside.
HR++ order glass in Haarlem
HR++ glass is a popular choice for better insulation. It retains heat better than single glazing or old double glazing. This makes a home feel more comfortable and heat loss can be limited.
HR++ glass is interesting for:
- replace single glass;
- replace old double glazing;
- cold drop at windows;
- condensation on the inside;
- renovation;
- sustainability;
- houses with wooden frames;
- apartments;
- business premises.
Please note: HR++ glass is thicker than single glass. The existing frame must therefore have sufficient space. Also check the condition of glazing beads, rubbers, sealant seams and paintwork. Do you want to know how much you save? Calculate the U-value of your glass in advance.
Triple glass in Haarlem
Triple glass insulates even better than HR++ glass. It is mainly used in new construction, very well insulated homes or renovations where window frames are also replaced.
Triple glass can be interesting for:
- new construction;
- large glass areas;
- homes with high insulation requirements;
- underfloor heating;
- low temperature heating;
- very energy-efficient renovations.
Please note: triple glass is thicker and heavier than HR++ glass. It does not simply fit into every existing frame. Therefore, always check whether the frame, glazing beads and fittings are suitable. Also read when triple glazing is and is not useful.
Vacuum glass or monument glass in Haarlem
In older buildings, characteristic homes or narrower rebates, standard HR++ glass is not always possible. Then vacuum glass or monument glass can be a good solution.
Vacuum glass is thinner than many other insulating glass types and can still insulate well. This makes it useful if you want to keep the existing frame as much as possible.
Monument glass is often chosen when the appearance of old glass is important. It can help to preserve the character of a building, for example with historic windows or renovation projects.
Vacuum glass or monument glass can be interesting for:
- existing wooden frames;
- narrow rebates;
- older homes;
- characteristic buildings;
- renovation without window frame replacement;
- preservation of appearance;
- situations where HR++ or triple glazing does not fit.
Always check in advance whether the glass structure is technically possible and whether the frame is in good condition.
Soundproof glass in Haarlem
Do you live or work on a busy road, near a railway line, in the center or near restaurants? Then sound-insulating glass can provide more peace inside.
Sound-resistant glass is interesting for:
- busy roads;
- apartments on the street side;
- houses near traffic;
- offices;
- bedrooms on the facade;
- business premises;
- spaces where peace and quiet are important.
Please note: sound insulation does not only depend on the glass. Window frames, cracks, ventilation grilles and connections also determine how much sound enters. Good gap sealing is therefore important.
Glass for coastal and outdoor use around Haarlem
Haarlem is close to the coast. In places towards Bloemendaal, Overveen and Zandvoort, glass, profiles and fittings may be more exposed to wind, moisture and dirt. When used outdoors, it is therefore important to pay close attention to the type of glass, mounting and maintenance.
Consider applications such as:
- windshields;
- balcony glazing;
- balustrades;
- glass doors;
- porches;
- canopies;
- roof glazing;
- glass for terraces.
For outdoor use, not only the glass thickness and type of glass are important, but also the mounting, profiles, rubbers and maintenance. Regular cleaning without streaks helps to keep the glass and mounting beautiful for longer.
Order a custom mirror in Haarlem
A custom mirror is suitable for bathrooms, bedrooms, halls, shops, hair salons, gyms and catering establishments. With customization you determine the size, shape and finish yourself.
Custom mirrors are often used for:
- bathrooms;
- Toilets;
- bedrooms;
- wardrobes;
- hall or entrance;
- shop interiors;
- fitting rooms;
- gyms;
- hair salons;
- catering establishments.
For a custom mirror, pay attention to the dimensions, edge finish, mounting and moisture load. Good ventilation is important in bathrooms to prevent damage to mirror edges. You can find more tips in our article about a custom mirror.
Custom shower enclosure in Haarlem
A custom shower enclosure gives a bathroom a sleek and modern look. Customization is especially useful for renovations or smaller bathrooms, because standard sizes do not always fit well.
Toughened safety glass is usually used for shower walls. This glass is stronger than normal glass and breaks more safely when it does break.
Please note:
- width and height;
- glass thickness;
- clear glass or frosted glass;
- anti-limescale treatment;
- confirmation and attachment;
- profile color;
- floor and wall finishing;
- direction of rotation at doors;
- space for mounting.
Always measure accurately. Walls and floors are not always completely straight, especially in renovated bathrooms or older homes. Also read what you should pay attention to with a custom shower enclosure.
Custom glass table top in Haarlem
A glass table top protects your table and gives it a neat appearance. You can use it for dining tables, coffee tables, desks, counters and catering tables.
For table tops, tempered glass is often chosen. That is stronger and safer than standard glass. The edge finish is also important, because the edges are visible and are often touched.
NB:
- correct thickness;
- rounded corners;
- flat poly cut edges;
- clear or extra clear glass;
- weight of the glass;
- surface of the table;
- protection against sliding.
For large table tops, delivery is much safer than transport yourself.
Glass kitchen back wall in Haarlem
A glass kitchen back wall is sleek, hygienic and easy to clean. The glass is placed behind the counter, sink or hob.
Toughened glass is usually used for kitchen back walls, especially behind a hob. Tempered glass can withstand impacts and temperature differences better.
You can choose:
- clear glass;
- extra clear glass;
- frosted glass;
- lacquered glass;
- colored glass;
- glass with recesses for sockets.
Please note: holes and recesses must be determined exactly in advance. With tempered glass, these cannot be adjusted afterwards - you choose them in the configurator.
Glass for shops, catering and offices in Haarlem
In addition to homes, custom glass is also widely used in shops, restaurants, offices and business premises. Think of mirrors, glass plates, counters, glass walls, table tops and safety glass.
For business applications in Haarlem you can consider:
- shop windows;
- mirrors for fitting rooms;
- glass counters;
- partition walls;
- office walls;
- table tops;
- display cabinet glass;
- glass for catering interiors;
- safety glass;
- soundproof glass;
- fire resistant glass if necessary.
For business projects, it is important to take intensive use, safety, cleaning and any construction requirements into account. Do you work commercially or do you do larger projects? Then view our options for business customers.
Glass for veranda, windbreak or balustrade
In gardens, balconies, terraces and outdoor areas, glass is often used for verandas, canopies, windbreaks and balustrades. Glass provides light and views, but can also provide shelter and safety.
Safety is important for outdoor use. Toughened glass, Laminated glass or Toughened-laminated glass are often chosen, depending on the application.
NB:
- height of the glass;
- wind load;
- risk of falling through;
- mounting system;
- glass thickness;
- weight;
- outdoor use;
- edge finishing;
- assembly.
For roof glass, balustrades or height differences, the glass must always be suitable as safety glass. For the attachment of glass clamps, point holders and profiles, see balustrade fittings.
What should you pay attention to when delivering glass in Haarlem?
Glass delivery in Haarlem sometimes requires extra preparation. Particularly for apartments, city center buildings, narrow streets, business premises or large glass panes, it is important that delivery is well planned.
Before ordering, check:
- is the delivery address easily accessible?
- is there loading and unloading space?
- can the glass be placed safely?
- does the glass have to go to a floor?
- is there an elevator?
- does the glass fit through doors, corridors and stairwells?
- is someone present at delivery?
- isn't the glass too heavy to move yourself?
- are there any restrictions on the building or site?
For large or heavy glass plates, it is wise to check in advance whether delivery is practical.
Measure glass before ordering
Good measuring is essential for custom glass. A small measurement error can cause the glass to not fit. Accuracy is especially important with insulating glass, shower walls and glass with holes or recesses.
When measuring, please note:
- width;
- height;
- glass thickness;
- rebate size;
- clearance all around;
- squareness;
- edge finishing;
- holes or recesses;
- direction of rotation at doors;
- position of attachment;
- weight of the glass.
Measure in multiple places. Window frames, walls and floors are not always completely straight. Are you unsure about the size? Please first follow our measuring instructions or contact contact before ordering.
Select glass thickness
The correct glass thickness depends on the application. A mirror requires a different thickness than a table top, shower wall or balustrade.
| Application | Commonly used thickness |
|---|---|
| Mirror | Often 4 or 6 mm |
| Table top | Often 6, 8, 10 or 12 mm |
| Shower enclosure | Often 8 or 10 mm tempered glass |
| Kitchen back wall | Often 6 mm tempered glass |
| Wall shelf | Depending on load and confirmation |
| Windshield | Often tempered or tempered-laminated glass |
| Balustrade | Laminated or toughened safety glass |
| Roof glass | Laminated safety glass |
| Windows | Depending on frame and insulation requirements |
So don't choose glass thickness solely on price. Safety, weight, size and mounting are just as important.
