Tempered Glass

Tempered glass is very “tough”, it is also known as toughen glass. The regular glass which you are acquainted with is called “annealed” glass. “Annealed” glass can be very dangerous and you will often see this type of glass in old fashioned windows and such. Tempered glass is very strong, like “Coca Cola” bottles, and even stronger now with new improved innovations, it also has a more chic and streamline appearance. If an object is hurled at tempered glass, it will most likely only receive a chip, which can be repaired. If a force were powerful enough to actually cause breakage, it would be broken into safety glass type pieces. You can really see an improvement when using tempered glass in automobile windshields. Unlike the old windshield glass of the past, it breaks (shatters) almost into one piece which could actually be picked up as almost whole and tossed away in the trash receptacle. You will see tempered glass used in products such as we have here at MyColourGlass, and other home decor items. The tops of patio tables and other furnishing are often made with tempered glass for increased durability in usage.
