Toughened Glass Options
Greater heat resistance
Toughened glass is created by heating standard float glass in a furnace to extreme temperatures and then rapidly cooling it. This process produces a super strong glass, that is up to 5 times stronger with greater heat resistance. When it breaks it will shatter into small, granular pieces.
Clear Toughened Glass
As the name suggests, clear toughened glass is a colourless and transparent glass.
Grey Toughened Glass
Grey Toughened glass is designed to reduce the amount of glare and heat entry.
Dark Grey Toughened Glass
Dark Grey Toughened is a rich tint for greater control of the amount of glare and heat entry than standard grey.
Green Toughened Glass
Green tinting comparable solar control to grey tints, without the sacrifice of visible light transmittance.
Glass Thickness Options
Clear Toughened Glass – 3mm/4mm/5mm/6mm/8mm/10mm/12mm
Grey Toughened Glass – 4mm/5mm/6mm/8mm/10mm/12mm
Dark Grey Toughened Glass – 5mm/6mm
Green Toughened Glass – 5mm/6mm
