Custom Toughened Glass

Toughened Glass Specification 

Toughened Glass Manufacturing Process

The process to create toughened glass involves heating it to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it. This process, known as tempering, puts the outer surfaces of the glass into compression and the interior into tension. This means that the outer layers need to be penetrated before the glass can break, making it much stronger than regular glass.

Toughened Glass Characteristics

If toughened glass does break, it will crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards like regular glass. This characteristic makes it less likely to cause severe injury.

Toughened Glass Features

1. Strength: Toughened glass is up to five times stronger than regular glass of the same thickness. This makes it resistant to breakage from impact.

2. Safety: If toughened glass does break, it shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards. This reduces the risk of injury.

3. Heat Resistance: Toughened glass can withstand high temperatures and sudden changes in temperature, making it ideal for use in ovens, fireplaces, and other high-heat environments.

4. Scratch Resistance: Toughened glass is more resistant to scratches than regular glass.

5. Flexibility: Despite its strength, toughened glass can be shaped and sized to fit a variety of applications.

6. Enhanced Sound Insulation: Toughened glass provides better sound insulation compared to regular glass.

7. UV Protection: Toughened glass can block up to 99% of UV radiation, protecting interiors from sun damage.

8. Easy Maintenance: Toughened glass is easy to clean and maintain, making it a practical choice for many applications.

Toughened Glass Application

Toughened glass, also known as tafan glass, is a type of safety glass that has been processed through controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared to normal glass. This makes it an ideal choice for a variety of applications where safety, durability, and performance are paramount.

Windows and Doors: Used in both residential and commercial buildings for its strength and safety features.

Curtain Walls and Facades: Provides structural integrity and aesthetic appeal for modern building exteriors.

Skylights: Ensures safety and durability in overhead applications.

Balustrades and Railings: Offers a combination of safety and transparency for staircases, balconies, and terraces.

Partitions and Room Dividers: Used in offices and homes to create open, light-filled spaces while maintaining safety.
