The Benefits of Tempered Glass


 
Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than standard glass and does not break into sharp shard when it falls. Tempered glass is manufactured through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, making it harder than normal glass.

Tempered glass is safer than regular glass. The brittle nature of tempered glass causes it to shatter into small pebbles when broken rather than shards. This eliminates the danger of sharp edges. Due to this property, along with its strength, tempered glass is often referred to as “safe glass”.

Pieces of glass that are to be tempered are precut and drilled before undergoing the tempering process, because they cannot be drilled afterwards. 

Tempered glass is a very popular glass used when constructing shower door enclosures. For more information, visit LighthouseShowerDoors.com
