Architectural safety glass

What is unbreakable glass? The simplest definition of unbreakable glass is the process of heat treatment on glass, which is performed on different types of glass, including colored, reflex, etc.

How? tempered glass is produced in several stages. The order of these steps is as follows:

Tempered glass production process

1- Heat treatment in which at this stage the glass is heated to a soft temperature, ie above 700 degrees Celsius.
2- The glass is then quickly exposed to very cool air from both surfaces, which makes the glass stronger.
These glasses are more resistant to breakage. In case of breakage, they are broken into small pieces with polished edges that do not have the ability to cut. Using breakable glass, the damage caused by breakage is reduced.

These glasses are used in places where strength and safety are desired, for example in cars. Of course, except for the car windshield, which uses laminated glass in the car windshield. The use of unbreakable glass is associated with more safety, so that in the home appliance industry, construction (for frameless structures such as front doors, etc.) of this type Glass is used. Ordinary glass always has many side effects, so it is highly recommended to use Securite glass.

Tempered glass weight

Now the question will be whether this type of glass is different from ordinary glass in terms of weight? No. Many people think that Securite glass weighs more than ordinary glass, but this is not the case. It is also similar to ordinary glass in terms of color and transparency.

Tempered glass price

But regarding its price, it should be said that it is obvious that special time and operations are used for the process of securing glass. So it will not be far from expected that it will be different from ordinary glass in terms of price.

Advantages of tempered glass

Compared to raw glass with the same thickness, Tempered glass is more resistant to breakage, so it can be said that its mechanical strength is more than 5 times. The nature of unbreakable glass causes it to turn into oval pebbles when broken. They do not have sharp edges. Due to this feature and this power, it makes unbreakable glass often referred to as safety glass. This glass is used even in bathroom glass and shower glass.

Uses of tempered glass

Tempered glass can be used where strength, heat resistance and safety are desired. When parameters such as mechanical strength and safety are of considerable importance, unbreakable glass is used. It is most commonly used because after Failure is broken down into pieces. In cars, a different type of safety glass is used for the windshield and unbreakable glass is used for the rear window and side windows. In this type, a polymer sheet is pressed between two glass panels. When the glass breaks, the glass panels stick to a thin sheet of plastic instead of falling and injuring the driver or other passengers.
