Tempered Glass For Building

Toughened glass is also referred to as "tempered glass" or "fully tempered glass". Toughened Safety Glass is fabricated by heating annealed glass to over 600°C and cooling it down rapidly. It locks the outer surfaces of the glass in a state of high compression, and the core or center of the glass in compensating tension. It is a safety glass which is used when strength, thermal resistance and safety are all important factors in design. The strength of toughened glass is approximately 5 times stronger than annealed (non-safety) glass of the same thickness. Toughened glass panels including curved toughened glass, clear toughened laminated glass, toughened float glass, clear toughened insulated laminated glass used for windows, stairs, balcony, refrigerator shelf, balustrade, ect. The commonly used thickness is 6mm toughened glass panels, 8mm toughened glass panels, 10mm toughened glass panels, 12mm toughened glass panels, 15mm toughened glass panels, ect.

Custom Tempered Glass Strength

Custom tempered glass is four times stronger than standard glass. Its strength comes from its unique manufacturing process. Custom cut tempered glass is rapidly heated and immediately cooled during the manufacturing process. This increases its durability and strength.

This glass does not break into large, dangerous shards. Instead, it breaks into small, round particles, which reduces possible injuries and minimizes damage. In addition to impact resistance, tempered glass is also heat and scratch resistant.
