Tempered Glass: The Best Safety Glass For Design

Safety glass is known for its superior strength and durability compared to regular annealed glass.

What is Tempered Glass?

Before anything, allow us to explain what tempered glass is. It is a type of safety glass that is manufactured through the tempering process. Using specialized heat treatment equipment, the glass panels are heated to a high temperature of up to 620°C. 

Once the glass hits the desired temperature, it is rapidly cooled with the help of high-pressure jets. This process of rapid cooling is called quenching and is key to making the glass stronger and more durable.

What Makes Tempered Glass Ideal For Architecture and Design?

Thermal Resistance

Constant, direct exposure to sunlight and heat damages regular annealed glass. The superior thermal resistance of tempered glass makes it ideal for outdoor applications such as for facades, windows, doors, and skylights.

Visual Appeal

The sleek, modern appearance of tempered glass means it blends right in, no matter the project. We know that modern architecture and design is big on openness, natural light, and minimalism. Tempered glass ticks all the boxes, making it an architect or designer’s favourite choice.

Customization

Another exceptional benefit making tempered glass ideal for architectural and design applications is its customizability. You can work with a glass fabricator to source tempered glass panels in any shape or size. Glass fabricators use CNC technology to cut glass in the desired shape. It can be adorned with intricate patterns and designs with custom glass etching.
