Safety

Toughened safety glass is used to describe glass that has undergone a thermal process to increase the strength of the annealed glass. Toughened safety glass is used for its increased strength, which allows it to resist wind loads, temperature gradients, and impacts.

Laminated glass is a form of safety glass whereby an interlayer is inserted between two or more panes of glass. The safety feature of the product is created by the bond and strength of the interlayer. The interlayer holds the entire glass pane together and, if broken, minimizes the likelihood of an object passing through the glass.
