Tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatment to increase its strength.Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the inner surfaces into tension. Such stresses cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards as plate glass creates. The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury. This type of glass is also 4 to 5 times stronger than normal glass.
Due to the fact that tempered glass is so much safer and stronger than normal glass, it is often used where any other glass used would be dangerous to others in the event of human contact. Michael’s Glass Company is always concerned about the safety of others and were happy to have installed tempered glass for a business in Germantown.
