Toughened (Safety Glass)
Toughened (Safety Glass)
Toughened glass is produced by applying a special treatment to float glass after it has been cut to size and finished.
The glass is heated to approx 620°c so that it begins to soften and then rapidly cooled.
This produces a glass which, if broken, breaks into small pieces without sharp edges. Toughening produces a slight ripple effect to the glass which becomes less apparent with increased glass thickness.
