Glass Name Plate Price in India

Where to Use Glass Name Plates
Glass plates work best in sheltered spots such as main doors inside a covered porch, apartment entrances, reception desks, office cabins, conference rooms, clinics and boutique stores. For fully exposed outdoor use, a toughened glass plate with good mounting is recommended.
Installation and Care Tips
- Choose toughened glass of suitable thickness, commonly 5 to 8 mm, for safety.
- Use quality standoff pins and wall plugs for a secure mount.
- Clean with a soft microfibre cloth and glass cleaner.
- Avoid harsh scrubbing on printed or back painted areas.
- Have installation done carefully to avoid chipping the edges.
Glass vs Acrylic Name Plates
Glass has a more premium, scratch resistant finish but is heavier and more breakable. Acrylic is lighter, more impact resistant and often cheaper. Choose glass for an upscale look in protected areas, and acrylic for easy handling and outdoor durability.
