How it's used
This term is primarily used in industrial, construction, or architectural contexts rather than daily casual conversation. While it refers to flat glass, people often just use 玻璃 when the specific type is clear from the context of a renovation or construction project. It sounds technical and precise, distinguishing it from other glass types like tempered or reinforced glass.
