Benefits of Toughened Glass
- Toughened glass has a high withstanding capacity and is therefore, suitable for uses where strength and thermal resistance are crucial.
- It is significantly stronger than annealed glass, and thrice as strong as heat-strengthened glass.
- While annealed glass is susceptible to thermal breakage with drastic changes in temperature, toughened glass has higher edge strength to resist thermal breakage.
- Toughened glass is ideal in spider and point fixed glazing owing to its high edge strength.
- Toughened glass is preferred because of the protection it offers, be it for the elderly or children, creating a safety blanket unlike ordinary glass.
- What makes tough glass the go-to choice is the sturdiness it ensures, and its capacity to not break under pressure; even if it does break, which is extremely rare, the pieces are not sharp or jagged and do not tend to cause serious injury.
- Toughened glass can also be made acoustic, allowing privacy and peace in the living space.
- Functional advantages aside, toughened glass is also an interior designer’s delight; it can be used creatively to add great aesthetic value with a wide range of styles.
- From protection to privacy, from durability to designing options, Toughened glass has become an integral part of homes. With homes and interior spaces opening up new avenues and newer applications in glass, Saint-Gobain Toughened Glass adds value with its blend of aesthetic and functional advantages.
