Simple. Cost-Effective. For Interior and Non-Thermal Use.
Single pane glass is a basic, single-sheet glazing solution ideal for low-impact commercial applications. While not insulated or safety-rated, it provides clarity, light transmission, and partitioning for interior environments or protected exterior conditions. At Centennial Glass, we supply and cut single pane glass to exact dimensions offering fast turnaround and reliable quality for budget-conscious commercial needs.
Need an affordable glass option for a low-impact interior or retrofit project?
Ideal for Simpler Commercial Applications
Single pane glass is most effective in non-load-bearing and non-thermal conditions, making it ideal for:
- Interior office partitions and sidelites
- Framed retail displays and shelving
- Decorative glass and furniture inserts
- Storm window inserts or porch enclosures
- Greenhouses and non-heated outbuildings
It offers a clear, clean look with flexibility for framing or mounting and can be easily replaced if broken or scratched.
Key Benefits
- Simple Glazing Option
- Budget-Friendly Solution
- Used for Interior Partitions
Because it lacks the insulating layers of IGUs or the strength of tempered glass, single pane is not recommended for exterior envelope use unless paired with storm protection or thermal retrofits.
