Description
Heat strengthened glass is similar to toughen glass. The most important factor of heat strengthened glass is that is has very less wave distortion as compared to fully toughen glass.
This glass breaks into slightly bigger pieces and move towards edges. It is approximately 2-3 times stronger than annealed glass.
WE have one of the largest toughening plant in Gujarat having capacity of producing the maximum size of 3660mm * 2460mm with wide range of thickness from 4mm to 19mm. We have facility to perform toughening process for high profile glasses such as, Reflective glass. ST series glass and KT series glass.
Due to the enhanced strength, a toughened glass finds a variety of uses in:
- Capsule Lifts
- Furniture
- Glass
- Glass facades
- Heat proof
- Home, Banks, Airport, Hotels, Schools, Hospitals, Offices Building
- Interior Decoration
- Partitions
- Shower cubicles
- Sliding & Swinging Doors
- Structural Glazing
- Windows

| Properties | Normal Glass | Toughened Glass |
| Manufacturing | Simply melting the ingredients – soda ash, sand and lime at high temperatures and cooling it. | Made by annealing the normal glass. Annealing is a process of reheating and cooling in order to retain the strength. |
| Strength | Strong | 4 times stronger than normal glass |
| Breakage | Easily shatters into large pieces | Hard to break and on breakage it breaks into tiny pieces |
| Safety | If broken, can cause serious injury to people around. | If broken, can cause mild cuts to people around but is not life threatening. |
| Applications | Glass jars, containers, mirror, window panes, etc. | Capsule lift, sliding & swinging doors, partitions, shower cubicles, etc. |
