Eliterglass Heat Strengthened Glass Manufacturer

Heat-strengthened glass is a semi-tempered glass, which has been strengthened thermally by inducing a surface compression of 6000 to 9000 psi as compared to a range of 11000 to 20000 psi in the case of fully tempered glass. It is two times stronger than annealed glass. Though it is not considered to be safety glass, it is widely used on building facades due to better optics

What Is Heat Strengthened Glass?

Heat-strengthened glass is a semi-tempered glass, which has been strengthened thermally by inducing a surface compression of 6000 to 9000 psi as compared to a range of 11000 to 20000 psi in the case of fully tempered glass. It is two times stronger than annealed glass. Though it is not considered to be safety glass, it is widely used on building facades due to better optics.

Why Does Heat Strengthened Glass Have Better Optics?

Heat-strengthened glass has better optics because of lower temperature at processing which leads to less distortion on the glass.

Does Heat Strengthened Glass Break Spontaneously?

NO, heat strengthened glass does not break spontaneously.

Is Heat Strengthened Glass Be Safety Glass?

Heat-strengthened glass is not a safe glass product but it is suitable for security laminates.

How Do We Know The Glass Is Heat Soaked

It is impossible to know that the glass is Heat Soaked or not by seeing or touching. Although, Eliter Glass provides a detailed report(including graphical representation) of each and every Heat Soaked cycle to show that the glass is Heat Soaked.

Why Heat Strengthened Glass Is More Suitable For Security Laminated Glass?

Laminated glass resists intrusion because the inter-layer continues to safeguard the building even after the glass itself is broken. Security glass cannot be cut from only one side, so ordinary glass cutters are useless as break-in tools. Laminated glass tends to resist impact. In multiple configurations, it can even resist bullets, heavy objects, or small explosions. In most cases, it takes many blows, all in the same spot, to penetrate the glass.
