TOUGHENED GLASS
As a glazier with over 30 years of experience, I’ve seen firsthand the many benefits of toughened glass. That’s why I’m excited to share with you why this type of glass should be at the top of your list for your next window or door project.
What is Toughened Glass?
Toughened glass, also known as tempered glass, is a type of safety glass that has been heat-treated to increase its strength and durability. The heat treatment process makes the glass much stronger than regular glass and able to withstand extreme temperatures and impacts.
But these are just a few of the many benefits that toughened glass has to offer. Let’s take a closer look at some of the top reasons to choose toughened glass for your glass replacement project.
The Benefits of Toughened Glass
Strength: One of the standout features of toughened glass is its extra strength. The heat treatment process makes it much stronger than regular glass and able to withstand extreme temperatures and impacts. This makes it a top choice for high traffic areas or homes and businesses where security is a concern.
Safety: In the event of breakage, toughened glass breaks into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards. This makes it a safer choice for homes with children or pets, as the risk of injury is greatly reduced. Additionally, because of its strength, toughened glass can also provide added security for your home or business.
Heat Resistance: Toughened glass is able to withstand extreme temperatures, making it a great choice for outdoor applications or areas with large temperature fluctuations.
Impact Resistance: The strength and durability of toughened glass make it resistant to impacts and able to withstand repeated blows. This makes it a top choice for high traffic areas or homes and businesses where security is a concern.
Versatility: Toughened glass can be used in a variety of applications, including windows, doors, shower screens, and more. It is also available in a range of thicknesses and sizes, making it a versatile choice for any project.
Cheaper than laminated glass: Both laminated glass and toughened glass are classified as grade A safety glass according to AS1288 standards, but toughened glass is typically the more affordable option. This makes it a great choice for those looking to save on costs without sacrificing quality or safety.
Conclusion
In conclusion, toughened glass is a strong, durable, and versatile choice for your window and door needs. Its added benefits of safety, heat resistance, impact resistance, and versatility make it a top pick for homeowners and businesses alike.
