Undoubtedly, glass is used in many ways in interior and exterior these days. For some applications, increased security and safety is required, hence the need for enhanced glass arises. So tempered glass is recommended for such applications. Now the question is, "what is tempered glass?" Tempered glass is commonly referred to as toughened glass, and is a type of safety glass that is created by heating up standard float glass sheets.

How Strong Is The Tempered Glass Panel?

The process of making tempered glass noticeably increases its strength. It is much stronger than annealed glass.Although tempered glass is 4x stronger than regular annealed glass, it can still break. However, when it breaks, it breaks safely. Those stresses (compression and tension) that are put on the external surface of the glass during the tempering process, allow the glass to shatter into small granular bits instead of big shards.

Therefore, it is considered a safety glass and widely used in daily life applications like glass table tops cut to size.

What Is The Recommended Thickness Of Tempered Glass?

Tempered glass is used for different purposes. For every application, it requires a different type of thickness that makes it suitable for the very purpose. The recommended thickness is dependent on the purpose the tempered glass is going to serve. Here is a breakdown of recommended thicknesses based on applications. You can use it as a reference while searching for the right table glass near me option.
