Heat Strengthened Glass
Heat strengthened glass is a similar process to tempering glass. However it is heat treated at a different temperature. This glass does not break into the small pieces like tempered glass. Hence is not considered safety glass.
As an example, heat strengthened glass is used for conditions where there is the potential for a large amount of heat build up within a sealed unit (insulated glass unit).
Why Use Heat Strengthened Glass?
Heat strengthening minimizes the change of
breakage due to heat build up when there is a painted, fritted or opaque surface
on the glass. It can offers design flexibility, allowing for creative architectural elements while maintaining structural integrity. By investing in heat-strengthened glass, commercial businesses can ensure the longevity and safety of their buildings, creating a secure and visually appealing environment for employees and customers alike.
