8mm Toughened Glass: Strength and Safety Redefined

Uncompromising Strength for Demanding Applications

Our 8mm toughened glass (also known as tempered glass) provides exceptional strength and safety, exceeding the standards of annealed glass by up to five times. This makes it the ideal choice for a wide range of applications where durability and safety are paramount. Manufactured using a controlled thermal or chemical treatment process, the glass undergoes rapid heating and cooling, creating a compressive stress layer on the surface that significantly enhances its resistance to impact, bending, and thermal shock.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Superior Strength: Withstands significantly higher impact forces than annealed glass, reducing the risk of breakage and injury.
• Enhanced Safety: When breakage occurs (under extreme force), the glass shatters into small, relatively harmless, granular pieces, minimizing the risk of sharp, jagged edges. This is crucial for safety-critical applications.
• Increased Thermal Resistance: Able to withstand greater temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for use in environments with varying temperatures.
• High Clarity & Transparency: Maintains the excellent clarity and transparency expected of high-quality glass, ensuring visual appeal.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of uses, both indoors and outdoors.

Applications:

• Architectural Glass: Shopfronts, windows, doors, partitions, balustrades, facades, and skylights.
• Furniture & Fixtures: Tabletops, shelves, splashbacks, shower screens, and display cases.
• Automotive Applications: Windshields, side windows, and other automotive glazing.
• Safety & Security: Security screens, bullet-resistant glass (in combination with other layers), and protective barriers.
