Tempered Glass

Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension. Such stresses cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular    chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards as plate glass (a.k.a. annealed glass) does. The granular chunks are  less likely to cause injury. 

Tempered Glass is often used in applications where using standard glass could pose a potential danger. Tempered glass is stronger than standard glass and does not shatter into large shards when broken. This is important, because it can greatly minimize potential danger in the case of a break. Manufactured through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, tempered glass is much harder than normal glass.

In the case that tempered glass does break, it shatters into small pebbles that are void of dangerous, sharp edges. As tempered glass is considered to be much safer than normal glass, you may often here it referred to as safety glass or TOUGHENED GLASS. Tempered glass has a wide variety of uses that you'll find just about everywhere. In fact, the shower doors in your bathroom or the side glass on a motor vehicle are examples of tempered glass.

Annealed glass can be processed into Clear Tempered Glass, Ultra Clear Tempered Glass, printed tempered glass, back painted tempered glass, tempered Laminated Glass, tempered Insulated Glass, tempered Vacuum Insulated Glass and so on, custom made on project request. Can be used for windows, doors, partitions, handrails, balcony, balustrade, fence, table top, decoration, kitchen splashbacks and so on.
