What is glass?

Did you know!!


  • Glass is a combination of sand and other minerals that are melted together at very high temperatures to form a material that is ideal for a wide range of uses from packaging and construction to fiber optics.
  • Glass, structurally, is actually more like a liquid, but at room temperature it is so viscous or ’sticky’ it looks and feels like a solid. At higher temperatures glass gradually becomes softer and more like a liquid. It is this latter property which allows glass to be poured, blown, pressed and molded into such a variety of shapes.
