Guardian Glass has developed new mirror products, including UltraMirror™ with Vinyl, which uses a vinyl film to enhance safety by preventing glass from falling when cracked. They are also introducing UltraMirror™ Life, which features lead-free paint coatings. The vinyl backing and lead-free paint coatings are optional features available for all products in the UltraMirror™ range. Guardian Glass is proud to prioritize user safety and environmental sustainability in their innovative glass products. They have invited Khun Amanda Chalisa Obdam, a brand ambassador, to speak on the benefits of these products. Guardian Glass has two plants in Thailand, one specializing in tinted glass production and the other producing float clear, laminated glass, and mirror products. The UltraMirror™ range is made in the latter facility, where they have mastered mirror production. All products in the UltraMirror™ range are coated with silver and are copper-free.

Elena Lohse, an interior design lover and content creator, installed a static-cling fluted-glass window adhesive on her glass-paneled kitchen door to maintain privacy without sacrificing natural light. The frosted, hazy pattern of the adhesive allows for light while filtering out strong rays and is renter-friendly. The fluted glass window film starts at $7.99 for a 17.5"x78.7" roll. Other window decals and films are also available, such as rain glass variations, stained glass-style window clings, and abstract designs.
