Toughened Glass
known as Tempered Glass or Safety Glass
We are toughened glass suppliers for commercial and
domestic purposes.
Toughened Glass is one of two kinds of safety glass
regularly used in applications in which standard glass could pose a
potential danger. Toughened glass is up to four to five times
stronger than standard glass and does not break into sharp shards
when it fails. Toughened glass is manufactured through a process of
extreme heating and rapid cooling, making it harder than normal
glass
The nature of toughened glass causes it to shatter into
small oval-shaped pebbles when broken. This eliminates the danger
of sharp edges. Due to this property, along with its strength,
toughened glass is often referred to as safety glass.
There are two main types of heat treated glass, heat
strengthened and fully tempered. Heat strengthened glass is twice
as strong as annealed glass while fully tempered glass is typically
four to six times the strength of annealed glass.
Toughened glass must be cut to size or pressed to shape
before toughening and cannot be re-worked once toughened. Polishing
the edges or drilling holes in the glass is carried out before the
toughening process starts.
