Q7.: Do scratches weaken tempered glass?
Scratches do not weaken tempered glass, but they can cause stress concentrations that may lead to breakage
Q8. Is tempered glass affordable?
Tempered glass is generally more expensive than regular annealed glass due to the additional processing involved in tempering.
