Glass is everywhere in modern interiors — shower enclosures, wardrobe shutters, partitions, balcony railings, table tops. Saint-Gobain is the benchmark glass brand in India. Here's which glass type goes where, and what it costs.
| Type | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Toughened (Securit) | Shower, partition, railing, table | 5x stronger; shatters into safe granules |
| Laminated | Balcony railing, overhead, safety-critical | Holds together if broken (interlayer) |
| Frosted / Satin | Bathroom, partition privacy | Privacy + light transmission |
| Lacquered (back-painted) | Wardrobe shutters, backsplash | Coloured opaque designer finish |
| Mirror | Wardrobe, dresser, feature wall | Standard + antique finishes |
| Glass type | ₹/sq ft |
|---|---|
| Plain toughened (8-10mm) | ₹150-300 |
| Frosted toughened | ₹220-400 |
| Lacquered glass | ₹180-380 |
| Laminated safety glass | ₹250-500 |
| Designer mirror | ₹120-350 |
Saint-Gobain is the reliable glass benchmark in India. Use 8-10mm toughened (Securit) for showers, partitions and table tops; laminated for safety-critical railings; lacquered for coloured wardrobe + backsplash finishes; frosted for privacy. Never use plain annealed glass anywhere you could fall against it.
