Tempered Glass and its Properties
 
Tempered glass is essentially a safety glass.

This helps in avoiding major injuries in case of accidents and that is why this glass is known as safety glass. Though people rarely break the windows of the house, most of the builders prefer to have tempered glass windows to make the house safer. There is a unique process a standard glass has to go through to become a tempered glass. It is manufactured by a thermal process of extreme heating and quicker cooling that makes the glass much harder. This process increases the strength of the glass up to five to ten times than the original one. Tempered glass is also heat resistant due to the thermal process it undergoes. These were some of the properties of tempered glass. Now lets see how it is beneficial to have tempered glass windows.
