TYPICAL TOUGHENED GLASS USAGE

Any window that is within 300mm of any door must be safety glazed. Windows must be fitted with toughened safety glass where the window is within 800mm of finished floor levels internally. If the application requires the glass to be cut, shaped, drilled, scored or manipulated in any way, this must be done before the glass is tempered, as afterwards the glass will be too tough and will shatter. Due to its safety and strength, toughened glass can be used in most demanding applications, such as:

Shower Doors
Architectural Projects
Doors and Tables
Glass Balustrades
Splash Backs
As a component for Bullet Proof Glass
