How is toughened glass made?
Toughened glass is made by subjecting a panel of annealed glass to heating followed by rapid cooling. The glass is heated to around 600 degrees C and then cooled by directing cool air or water directly onto the glass. This creates a state of surface compression to the glass which gives It both strength and durability and makes it suitable for a range of applications
How strong is toughened glass?
Typically, toughened glass is around 4 to five times stronger than ordinary glass and is much more resistant to breakage than standard float glass.
Is it heat resistant?
Yes, toughened glass is resistant to sudden temperature changes and thermal stress, this makes it ideal for products such as glass splashback behind hobs.
How long does it take to manufacture?
Toughened glass takes around 7 working days to cut to size, edge processing and glass sandblasting may mean it takes slightly longer.
Very good customer service. We needed to replace glass door panels we got from them over ten years ago and they were able to find the order make and deliver the new panels quickly so the door was fixed before Christmas! Excellent company!
