Tempered glass (also known as toughened glass) is an extremely strong glass which has been thermally heat treated to induce compressive stresses of 11000 to 20000 psi on the surfaces and edge compression of not less than 9700 psi.

Tempered glass is being used increasingly in architecture because of its strength and safety properties. It is usually installed in areas where safety glass is required to reduce the possibility of mechanical or thermal breakage and/ or to assure greater uniform load strength. Worldwide the use of Tempered glass or Safety glass in general has been mandated by building codes. These codes are also made for India and are in the process of being mandated.
