What types of glass can you order in Rotterdam?

A different type of glass is suitable for each application. Glass for a window must above all insulate well. Glass for a shower enclosure must be safe. Glass for a table top must be strong and have neatly finished edges. That is why you can order different [types of custom-made glass] from Glastotaal.

Popular types of glass are:

Are you unsure which type of glass you need? Then look not only at the size, but also at safety, insulation, thickness, weight and mounting. In our knowledge base we explain what you should pay attention to per type of glass.

Popular applications in Rotterdam

In Rotterdam, custom glass is widely used in renovations, apartments, new-build homes, business premises and modern interiors. Due to the mix of high-rise buildings, porch houses, 1930s homes, shops and offices, the applications are very diverse.

Common situations are:

Sound insulation can be interesting, especially in a city like Rotterdam. Do you live on a busy street, near tram traffic, restaurants or a main road? Then sound-insulating insulating glass may be a better choice than standard glass.

Order glass for apartments in Rotterdam

Rotterdam has many apartments, porch houses and residential towers. When delivering glass, it is therefore important to check in advance whether the glass can be delivered safely.

Please check before order:

  • 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 a stairwell?
  • can the delivery person get close to the entrance?
  • is there enough space to place the glass safely?
  • Is the glass plate not too heavy to move yourself?

This is extra important for large mirrors, shower walls, table tops and glass walls. Therefore, measure not only the place where the glass will be placed, but also the route to it.

Glass for renovation in Rotterdam

During renovation projects, glass is often replaced to improve comfort, insulation and safety. Consider old wooden frames, single glazing, outdated double glazing or windows with condensation between the glass sheets.

Replacing glass can be interesting for:

  • cold drop at windows;
  • draft complaints;
  • condensation on the inside;
  • leaking double glazing;
  • high energy costs;
  • noise pollution;
  • single glazing;
  • outdated double glazing;
  • renovation of window frames.

For existing window frames it is important to check which glass thickness fits. HR++ glass is often possible, but not always. For narrow rebates, vacuum glass can be an alternative.

HR++ order glass in Rotterdam

HR++ glass is a popular choice for homes and commercial properties that need better insulation. It retains heat better than single glazing or old double glazing. This makes a room feel more comfortable and heat loss can be reduced.

HR++ glass is interesting for:

  • replace single glass;
  • replace old double glazing;
  • cold windows;
  • condensation on the inside;
  • renovation;
  • sustainability;
  • houses with wooden frames;
  • apartments;
  • business premises.

Please note: HR++ glass has a certain package thickness. Therefore, always check whether the existing frame has sufficient space and whether glazing bars, rubbers or ventilation grilles need to be adjusted. Do you want to know how much you save? Calculate the U-value of your glass in advance.

Soundproof glass in Rotterdam

In an urban environment, noise can play a major role. Do you live along a busy road, tram route, railway line, shopping street or catering area? Then sound-insulating glass can provide more peace inside.

Sound-resistant glass is interesting for:

  • busy roads;
  • tram or train traffic;
  • catering establishments in the area;
  • apartments in the center;
  • offices;
  • bedrooms on the street side;
  • homes with a lot of traffic noise.

Please note: sound insulation does not only depend on the glass. Window frames, cracks, ventilation grilles and connections also determine how much noise enters. Good glass especially helps when the rest of the construction also fits well.

Vacuum glass or thin insulating glass in Rotterdam

Not every existing frame has room for thick insulating glass. For older wooden frames or narrower rebates, vacuum glass can be interesting. Vacuum glass is thinner than many other insulating glass types and can still insulate well.

Vacuum glass may be suitable for:

  • existing wooden frames;
  • narrower rebates;
  • older homes;
  • renovation without window frame replacement;
  • preservation of appearance;
  • situations where HR++ or triple glass does not fit.

Always check in advance whether the frame is technically suitable. The condition of the wood, glazing beads, sealant seams and paintwork are also important. Are you unsure between solutions? Then read about monument glass or vacuum glass and about wood rot due to poor glazing.

Order a custom mirror in Rotterdam

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;
  • 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 Rotterdam

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. Also read what you should pay attention to with a custom shower enclosure.

Custom glass table top in Rotterdam

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 Rotterdam

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:

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 Rotterdam

Rotterdam has many shops, restaurants, offices and business premises. Customized glass is often used there for interior design, safety and appearance.

For business applications you can think of:

  • shop windows;
  • mirrors for fitting rooms;
  • glass counters;
  • office walls;
  • partition 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 balcony, windbreak or balustrade

In apartments, roof terraces and balconies, glass can be used as a windbreak, balustrade or partition. This provides shelter without completely taking away the view.

Safety is extra important for these types of applications. Toughened glass, Laminated glass or Toughened-laminated glass are often chosen, depending on the situation.

NB:

  • height of the screen;
  • wind load;
  • risk of falling through;
  • mounting system;
  • glass thickness;
  • weight;
  • outdoor use;
  • edge finishing;
  • assembly.

For balustrades or height differences, the glass must always be suitable as safety glass. You choose the balustrade fitting — glass clamps, point holders and profiles — to suit the situation. Read more? See how to choose balustrade glass.

What should you pay attention to when delivering glass in Rotterdam?

Delivering glass in Rotterdam sometimes requires extra preparation. Especially for apartments, busy streets, high-rise buildings or commercial properties, 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 shower wall, table top, window 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.
