What is toughened glass?
Toughened glass is an extremely safe and robust glass product designed to shatter into fine pieces rather than dangerously large shards. Our glass toughening process involves heating a standard glass sheet to up to over 600⁰C in our Glaston toughening furnace, resulting in a tempered glass surface for strength and safety.
What is tempered glass?
Tempered glass is another term for toughened glass – they are the same thing. Read our in-depth guide to toughened and tempered glass.
Can toughened glass be cut?
No. Glass cannot be cut or shaped once it has been through the glass toughening process. Instead, we cut, shape, and finish the glass to your requirements before running it through our toughening furnace.
Many applications for our toughened safety glass
Our glass toughening service is ideal for a wide variety of applications. Popular applications include shower enclosures, frameless doors, interior partitions, table-tops, staircases, balustrades, and balconies. We produce toughened glass in a range of types and styles, including standard clear glass, ultra-clear low iron glass, colour tinted glass, back painted glass, and frosted or sandblasted glass. We also produce laminated and toughened glass for balustrades, partitions, and glass floors.
How to order toughened safety glass
If you require glass toughening, we have the capacity and expertise to supply toughened and tempered safety glass in bulk or single sheet quantities and we are trusted suppliers to many UK bathroom, kitchen, and furniture manufacturers.
To order toughened glass we require either measurements, for simple square and rectangular glass sheets, or a hard template or digital DFX files. We can scan hard templates to produce the DFX cutting files we require. If you are a manufacturer, we can hold glass sizes on file for production and delivery to meet your production schedules.
