Glass has a history going back more than 4,000 years. The Romans were the first to glaze their windows to keep out wind and weather. But it was only the steady development of rolling and casting techniques in the 18th and above all the 19th century which allowed the production of ever larger, more transparent and thinner panes of glass. The use of glass as a building material was encouraged in particular by garden design, as the protection of exotic plants required the construction of greenhouses and orangeries.
