Safety glass – also known as Toughened glass is up to five times stronger than regular
glass. This is achieved by heating regular glass at high temperatures (650°C) and then
cooling very quickly. This process makes it tougher (hence the name) and up to 400% or 500%
more resistant to heat and shock than ordinary glass.
The aim of the toughening process is to primarily improve the structural durability and
thermal strength of the glass, in turn increasing its resilience and ability to withstand
heat. It’s worth noting that this type of glass cannot be re-cut after it has been
toughened; it must be cut prior to the toughening process.
Safety glass is specially treated so that it will break into small, blunt pieces under
pressure, making it much safer than shards of normal glass.
