Toughened glass is heat-treated to increase strength. It is up to 5 times stronger than regular float glass and breaks into small, blunt pieces, significantly reducing injury risk — the standard choice for safety-critical applications.
Toughened glass (also called tempered glass) is produced by heating float glass to approximately 620°C and then rapidly cooling it. This thermal treatment creates compressive stresses on the surface and tensile stresses in the core, resulting in glass that is significantly stronger than standard float glass.
When toughened glass breaks, it shatters into small, rounded granules rather than sharp shards, making it much safer than ordinary glass. This property makes it mandatory in many safety-critical applications.
Toughened glass is the standard choice for shower enclosures due to its safety properties and resistance to thermal shock from hot water.
Frameless and semi-frameless glass doors use toughened glass for safety and structural integrity.
Glass balustrades for staircases and balconies require toughened glass to meet safety standards.
Large glazed areas benefit from toughened glass for improved wind resistance and safety.
