Product type
Toughened glass, also known as tempered glass, is a type of safety glass that has been treated by controlled thermal processes to increase its strength compared to normal glass. This process involves heating the glass to high temperatures and then rapidly cooling it, which creates internal stresses that enhance its durability. Toughened glass is typically used in applications where safety and strength are critical, such as in building facades, shower doors, and glass doors.
| Thickness range | 4 mm to 19 mm |
| Strength | Up to five times stronger than standard glass |
| Thermal resistance | Can withstand temperature changes of up to 200┬░C |
| Safety features | Breaks into small, blunt pieces instead of sharp shards |
| Standard sizes | Custom sizes available, common panels include 1m x 2m |
When choosing toughened glass, consider the thickness required for your specific application, as this can influence both strength and weight. It's also important to specify any particular safety standards or certifications needed, especially for commercial projects. Additionally, provide details on the dimensions and quantities required to ensure accurate pricing and delivery timelines.

Toughened glass is heat-treated for strength, while laminated glass consists of two or more layers bonded with a plastic interlayer for safety.
No, toughened glass cannot be cut or altered after it has been tempered.
Yes, toughened glass is suitable for outdoor applications due to its durability and resistance to weather conditions.
Common applications include windows, shower doors, glass doors, and facades.
Toughened glass is made by heating the glass to high temperatures and then rapidly cooling it.
Toughened glass can provide some UV protection, but specific UV-filtering glass should be used for enhanced protection.
