• Approximately five times stronger than annealed glass of equal thickness

• Greater resistance to thermally-induced stress than heat-strengthened or annealed glass  

• Tempered glass is mandated in many parts of the world by individual country regulations or specifications

Applications

• Suitable where safety glazing is required by building codes or design specifications 

• Fire knock-out panels 

• All glass entrances and storefronts 

• Extreme wind loads

• Fireplace enclosures
