Toughened glass is heat treated to increase strength and safety. When broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces, making it essential for doors, shower screens, and other high risk areas.
At Glasscraft, we specialise in toughened glass, providing a strong and safe solution for a wide range of applications. With our on site toughening plants, we ensure high quality, accredited glass that meets the highest safety standards.
Toughened glass (also known as tempered glass) is up to five times stronger than standard glass. The toughening process involves heating the glass to high temperatures before rapidly cooling it. This controlled process changes the structure of the glass, making it much stronger and safer. If it does break, it shatters into small, blunt edged fragments rather than sharp, dangerous shards.
Because of its strength and safety benefits, toughened glass is used in a variety of settings, including:
Doors & Internal Screens: Essential for safety in homes, offices and commercial spaces.
Balustrades & Canopies: Providing strength and security in structural applications.
Furniture & Shelving: Durable and stylish for tables, shelves and display units.
Sealed Units: Often required in double glazing where safety glass is needed.
We toughen clear and patterned float glass, as well as hard and soft coat low-E glass, in a range of thicknesses:
All toughened glass from Glasscraft is accredited to EN12150 and is stamped for quality assurance.
