What types of glass can you order in Utrecht?

You need a different type of glass for every application. Glass for a window must insulate well, while glass for a shower wall must be safe and strong. Glass for a table top requires the right 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, renovation, small windows or temporary use

Mirror glass Bathrooms, shops, bedrooms and gyms

Are you unsure which type of glass is suitable? Then look at the application, safety, insulation, thickness, weight and method of mounting. In our knowledge base we explain what you should pay attention to per type of glass.

Popular applications in Utrecht

In Utrecht, custom glass is often used in renovation, sustainability and interior projects. Due to the combination of old city center buildings, 1930s houses, apartments, student houses, shops and modern new construction, the applications are very diverse.

Common situations are:

Especially in older homes in Utrecht, it is important to check in advance which glass fits. Not every frame has enough space for thick insulating glass. Sometimes HR++ glass is possible, sometimes vacuum glass or monumental glass is a better solution.

Order glass for apartments and upstairs apartments in Utrecht

Utrecht has many apartments, upstairs apartments and homes with narrow stairwells. When delivering glass, it is therefore important to check in advance whether the glass plate can be placed inside safely.

Before ordering, check:

  • 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 up via stairs?
  • can the delivery person get close to the home?
  • 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 inside.

Glass for old window frames in Utrecht

Many homes in Utrecht have older wooden frames. When replacing glass, it is important to look carefully at the available space, the condition of the wood and the connection of the glass. The rebate may be narrow and glazing beads may be outdated.

Please note:

  • available glass thickness;
  • rebate depth;
  • condition of the wood;
  • wood rot;
  • glazing beads;
  • sealant seams;
  • painting;
  • ventilation;
  • insulation value;
  • appearance of the building.

Do you want to replace single glass with insulating glass? First check whether HR++ glass fits in your existing frame. If the frame is too narrow, vacuum glass or monument glass may be interesting. This improves the insulation without always needing a thick glass package.

HR++ order glass in Utrecht

HR++ glass is a popular choice for those who want better insulation. It retains heat better than single glazing or old double glazing. This makes the home feel more comfortable and heat loss can be reduced.

HR++ glass is interesting for:

Please note: HR++ glass is thicker than single glass. The existing frame must therefore have sufficient space. Also check whether glazing beads, rubbers, sealant seams and ventilation grilles need to be adjusted. Do you want to know how much difference it makes? Calculate the U-value of your glass in advance.

Vacuum glass or monument glass in Utrecht

For older buildings, characteristic facades or narrow window frames, 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 suitable for situations in which 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:

  • old wooden frames;
  • narrow rebates;
  • characteristic homes;
  • renovation of older buildings;
  • preservation of appearance;
  • situations where thick glass does not fit.

Always check in advance which glass structure is technically possible.

Soundproof glass in Utrecht

In a busy city, noise can play a major role. Do you live on a busy road, near restaurants, along a bus route or in a lively street? Then sound-insulating glass can provide more peace inside.

Sound-resistant glass is interesting for:

  • busy roads;
  • city center;
  • catering establishments in the area;
  • apartments on the street side;
  • offices;
  • bedrooms on the facade;
  • homes with traffic noise.

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 glass works best when the rest of the construction also fits well.

Order a custom mirror in Utrecht

A custom mirror is useful 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 the mirror edges. You can find more tips in our article about a custom mirror.

Custom shower enclosure in Utrecht

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 older homes or renovated bathrooms. Also read what you should pay attention to with a custom shower enclosure.

Custom glass table top in Utrecht

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 Utrecht

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 Utrecht

In addition to homes, custom glass is also widely used in shops, restaurants and offices. Think of mirrors, glass plates, counters, glass walls, table tops and safety glass.

  • glass counters;
  • partition walls;
  • office walls;
  • table tops;
  • display cabinet glass;
  • glass for catering interiors;
  • safety glass;
  • soundproof glass;
  • fire resistant glass if necessary.

Glass for balcony, windbreak or balustrade

On balconies, roof terraces and outdoor areas, 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.

With balustrades or height difference, the glass must always be suitable as safety glass. Read more? Check out our article on choosing balustrade glass.

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

Glass delivery in Utrecht sometimes requires extra preparation. Especially in the city center, apartments, narrow streets, upstairs apartments or business premises, 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.
