High Quality Floating Safety Glass.

Product Details

Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that's been treated with heat or chemicals to increase its strength compared to regular glass. It’s designed to be more durable and shatter into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards when broken, which helps reduce the risk of injury.

Here are some key points about tempered glass:

Manufacturing Process: Tempered glass is made by heating it to over 600°C (about 1100°F) and then rapidly cooling it. This process, called tempering, puts the surface of the glass into compression and the interior into tension, which makes the glass much tougher.

Applications: It’s used in various applications, including shower doors, glass doors and tables, glass facades, and in automotive windows. It’s also used in places where safety is a concern, such as in glass panels in buildings.

Strength: Tempered glass is much stronger than untreated glass of the same thickness. It can withstand greater impacts and thermal stress.

Safety: When it breaks, tempered glass shatters into small, rounded pieces rather than jagged shards, reducing the risk of serious injuries.

Cost: Due to the additional processing, tempered glass is usually more expensive than standard glass.
