Glass is clearer and is scratch resistant, but plastic will not shatter into dangerous fragments if broken, either from the inside by an occupant, or by a falling branch from outside. Special glasses are available which are shatter resistant, similar to those used in vehicle windscreens. If children will be using the treehouse, make sure windows that can fully open are positioned over decked areas of the treehouse in case of a fall.

The answer to this one is easy, Plexus! Stay away form the standard grocery store window cleaners, they will begin to dull the windows and can eventually ruin them.

People generally report that glass provides about 10% better performance than plastic. And there is reason to believe that under windy conditions, glass is preferred since it doesn't flap in the wind and dissipate heat from the cooker. Plastic, however, is often recommended since is much less fragile and easier to transport and works plenty well. One excellent, easily-obtained plastic film is oven cooking bags. These are for sale in grocery stores and cost less than US$1 per bag.

For short term beer contact (under 3 weeks) plastic works well, and has the advantage of being easier to handle and clean. Plastic can be used for both primary and secondary fermentation, as long as the total contact time of the beer with the plastic is three weeks or less. For long term lagering of beer, use a glass carboy, as glass is completely non porous, and has the advantage of giving you a good look at the fermenting beer.

Better food safety for consumers, because utensils are not intended to go inside the bottle, as happens with dressings in jars.

You can choose in most cases. If you are concerned with originality then you should select the appropriate top. If cost is a factor the plastic windows are less expensive and also cost less to ship. Glass is considered maintenance free and should last as long as your top. Plastic will deteriorate and how long it will last is dependent on many factors such as where it is stored, how much sun it is in, weather, etc.

Many people use glass Sun-Tea jars with plastic spigots, reporting no deterioration of the spigots, even with continual use.

Window film adhesive should not make contact with plastic, Plexiglas, acrylic, or lexan surfaces. The film's adhesive contains chemicals that could react with the organic base of a plastic surface to produce a milky, bubbly appearance. Your plastic surface will never be clear again. If, however, the appearance of the plastic is not important, film can certainly be applied. Suggestion: GILA brand removable-reusable static-cling vinyl is perfect for use on flat plastic surfaces.

Insulated glass consists of two pieces of glass sealed to a spacer. This creates an insulated air space between the two pieces of glass, resulting in better thermal performance. Insulated glass also reduces condensation while keeping the heat in during the winter and the heat out during the summer.

Some areas also restrict plastic based on its shape or color.
