Horticultural Glass

 

  • Standard / Basic / Cheapest
  • Perfect for sheltered area with no danger of kids playing around nearby

 

Safety / Toughened Glass

 

  • Stronger glass
  • If it breaks it breaks into tiny pieces not shards
  • Heavy glass, so better at withstanding strong winds
  • Clear glass

 

Polycarbonate 

 

  • Very strong glass, virtually unbreakable
  • Similar material to plastic
  • Light glass, should be in a sheltered area
  • Not as clear as glass / slightly opaque
