What is tempered glass?
To begin with, tempered glass has approximately four to five times the strength of ordinary glass. Of course this means that it is more durable and much less likely to end up broken. This feature is achieved by heating the glass to an extremely high temperature and then quickly cooling it. This process also makes the glass more capable of withstanding heat, and it changes the way it breaks. Tempered glass does not break into the sharp pieces that we normally associate with broken glass. Instead, if it is fractured, it falls into small pebble-like pieces that are much safer to deal with and easier to sweep up.
When should tempered glass be used?
Tempered glass is useful in many situations. Some common applications include –
- Patio doors – Since these must hold up to lots of use and are often in high-risk areas – i.e. close to backyard baseball games – tempered glass is a wise choice for your patio door.
- Shower doors – The doors of the shower are also generally used on a daily basis, and since people are in close contact with the shower glass, tempered glass is typically used here, as well.
- Commercial doors – These doors are often in areas of both high traffic and high risk of impact, so tempered glass makes sense.
- Sidelites – This term refers to windows that are right beside a residential or commercial door. Making the window sturdier by using glass with higher durability also keeps the door more secure.
