Toughened Glass
Another type of glass that is widely used in construction and design is toughened glass. Let’s explore toughened glass, its features, benefits, and applications.
Toughened glass is a type of safety glass that is four to five times stronger than ordinary glass. It is made by heating annealed glass to a temperature of approximately 620°C and then cooling it rapidly with a jet of cold air. This process, called quenching, creates a compressive stress layer on the surface of the glass and tensile stress in its core. This makes toughened glass more resistant to mechanical stress, thermal shock, and impact.
