Description

Toughened glass, also known as tempered glass, is a type of safety glass that has been treated with heat or chemicals to increase its strength compared to regular glass. This process causes the surface to be under compression, making it more durable and resistant to breaking. When it does break, it shatters into small, blunt pieces instead of sharp shards, which reduces the risk of injury.

Toughened glass is commonly used in applications like windows, shower doors, car windows, and glass tabletops due to its increased strength and safety features. It’s about four to five times stronger than regular glass.
