FAQs
What is Toughened Glass
Toughened glass, which is also called tempered or safety glass, is basically a stronger version of standard glass that you usually find in the majority of windows in your home. You manufacture it by heating the glass to a temperature of over 600 degrees centigrade and then cooling it rapidly. This process will create a tension in the glass making it 4 to 5 times stronger than standard glass.
Where Would you Normally Find Toughened Glass?
High-traffic areas where there is a risk of trips or falls occurring, or objects being dropped onto the glass should opt for toughened glass. In fact, health and safety regulations often mandate the use of specific types of safety glass in such situations. This is why commercial and public spaces typically utilise toughened glass for their glass elements. However, it is also beneficial if you are looking to provide a higher level of safety in the home or workplace.
Is Toughened Glass Heat Resistant?
Toughened glass is up to five times more heat resistant than regular glass meaning it can withstand temperatures as high as 250 degrees, which makes it much safer during a fire. This is one of the main reasons why you will find toughened glass windows in places like government buildings, schools, offices and blocks of flats.
