Product introduction
What is Tempered Glass?
Tempered glass is produced by controlled heating and rapid cooling. Because cutting, drilling and edgework must be completed first, every fabrication detail is reviewed before production.

Features describe the material, advantages explain its technical strengths, and benefits show what those strengths mean for the project.
Features
How the glass is defined
Safety performance
Designed for locations requiring safety glazing and improved mechanical strength.
Fabrication accuracy
Holes, notches, cut-outs and edgework are completed before tempering.
Project flexibility
Available in clear, tinted, Low-E, printed and laminated configurations.
Advantages
Technical strengths
Higher strength
Controlled heat treatment increases resistance to mechanical and thermal stress.
Safer breakage
When broken, the glass fragments into smaller particles than annealed glass.
Processed to drawing
Edges, holes and cut-outs are completed before heat treatment.
Benefits
Value for the project
Greater design freedom
Supports larger or more demanding safety-glazing applications.
Improved occupant safety
A safer breakage pattern helps reduce injury risk.
Reliable installation
Approved fabrication drawings align glass with fittings and supports.
