How to Choose the Right Glass Thickness
From 2mm picture frame glass to 19mm structural walls — learn which thickness fits your application, safety requirements, and budget.
Founded in the 1940s by Osama Mansour, what began as a small artisan workshop crafting mirrors and decorative glass has grown into one of the most respected names in the global glass industry. From hand-cut mirrors that adorned the finest homes in the Middle East to precision-engineered architectural glass systems installed in landmark buildings across continents, the Mansour name has always stood for one thing: uncompromising quality.
In those early years, the craft was intimate. Every sheet of glass was inspected by hand, every mirror silvered with care, every edge polished to perfection. Osama Mansour built more than a business — he built a standard. That standard attracted architects, builders, and designers who understood that the clarity and durability of glass could define a space as powerfully as stone or steel.
As demand grew, so did the ambition. By the mid-20th century, Mansour Glass Factory had evolved from decorative craftsmanship into full-scale industrial manufacturing. The company embraced tempered glass, laminated safety glass, insulated glazing units, and custom architectural solutions — becoming a one-stop fabrication partner for projects of every scale. What never changed was the founding principle: every piece of glass that carries the Mansour name must be flawless.
Today, Saudi Arabia and the broader Middle East stand as the number one region in the world for sourcing premium glass. Decades of investment in state-of-the-art float glass production, combined with access to the purest raw silica sands on earth, have positioned the region at the forefront of global glass manufacturing. The clarity, consistency, and optical quality of Middle Eastern float glass is unmatched — a fact recognized by architects, contractors, and distributors in every major market worldwide.
Mansour Glass sits at the heart of this advantage. With deep manufacturing roots in Jordan and strategic sourcing partnerships across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, we offer glass that meets the most demanding international standards at pricing that reflects the scale and efficiency of the region's production infrastructure. When you source through Mansour Glass, you are tapping into the single best glass supply chain on the planet.
Mansour Glass is not a corporation assembled by investors — it is a multi-generational family enterprise, shaped by the hands and vision of each generation that followed Osama Mansour. His children grew up on the factory floor, learning to distinguish the subtle differences between grades of float glass before they could drive. His grandchildren studied engineering and international business, bringing modern operational discipline to a company built on craftsmanship and trust.
This continuity matters. In an industry where consistency is everything, the Mansour family's direct involvement in every facet of the operation — from raw material sourcing to quality control to client relationships — ensures that nothing slips through the cracks. There are no absentee owners, no layers of bureaucracy between a client's needs and the people who fulfill them. When you work with Mansour Glass, you work with the family that built it.
