Safety Glass

The most common Safety Glass available is Toughened and Laminated Glass:

1.Toughened Glass

Toughened glass is produced by heating annealed glass in a furnace to approximately 700°C and then rapidly blowing cool air onto both surfaces. This rapid cooling process is the key element in the physical changes in annealed glass that creates toughened glass.

• Toughened safety glass is Grade A safety glass.
• Up to 500% stronger than annealed glass and therefore is more resistant to thermal breakage and can withstand greater wind loads.
• On breaking, it fragments into many small harmless pieces unlike annealed glass.
• Can be used within a temperature range of minus 70°C to plus 300°C (surface temperature should not exceed 250°C if the other surface is lower than 0°C ambient).
• Recommended for door, side and low lights, frameless entries, balustrades, shower, bath screen panels and furniture.

2.Laminated Glass

Laminated glass consists of two or more panes of float glass bonded together by an interlayer consisting of one or more sheets of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), which provides a high degree of personal safety. When accidental impact is made the glass will shatter but be held intact by the PVB interlayer.

The configuration and nature of laminated glass provides much better sound insulation compared to ordinary glass, especially at certain frequencies.

Monolithic Glass

Clear float products (Float glass is a sheet of glass made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten metal, typically tin, although lead and various low melting point alloys were used in the past. This method gives the sheet uniform thickness and very flat surfaces. Modern windows are made from float glass) 3-19mm.
