What is glass?

Glass is a material that offers endless possibilities - whether it's mouth-blown or machine made. Glass consists mostly of sand, mixed with soda and limestone. For heat-resistant, oven-safe glass, borosilicate is also added. Glass may be decorated by adding colour to the molten glass, by grinding, blasting or engraving a pattern into the glass. A print may also be fired into the glass. Nothing is impossible.

Borosilicate glass can handle conditions that are a bit too tough for ordinary household glass. It’s very impact and scratch resistant and withstands rapid temperature changes, allowing you to take it directly from the freezer to the oven – or vice versa. And if it somehow breaks, it shatters into large pieces with less risk of someone getting hurt. Simply a tougher type of glass.

Glass is mainly made of sand, soda and lime melted at a high temperature. Tempering or various additives gives you extra-strong and impact-resistant glass that in some cases can be taken straight from freezer to oven without cracking. A big benefit is how glass can be recycled over and over without the quality deteriorating. Also, a lot less energy is needed to melt recycled glass compared to new raw materials. Our goal is to eventually use only recycled glass in our range.
