Tempered glass is impact resistant and breaks into safer small pieces, making it suitable for doors and windows. Insulated glass traps air between panes to reduce heat and sound transfer, which is useful for villas and apartments in Saudi Arabia's hot climate. Choose thickness based on the intended use.
Pricing depends on glass type, size, site height, and number of windows. It usually includes delivery and installation, while old glass removal or extra cleaning may be added. You can request a Matkel quote with measurements and specifications to confirm the final cost before work begins.

Final sizes, handle holes, and lock cutouts must be measured accurately before ordering. This ensures the glass fits frames properly and remains safe during installation.
Six or eight millimetres is common for lighter windows, while ten millimetres is often used for doors. Large windows, villas, and coastal projects may need thicker tempered or insulated glass. The right choice depends on security, thermal insulation, wind resistance, and local temperature changes.
