Tempered glass is one of the modern building materials widely used in many fields, from architecture and interior design to industrial projects. Produced using special heat treatment technology, tempered glass possesses superior characteristics in terms of durability, safety, and aesthetics, meeting the stringent requirements of construction and design.

What is tempered glass?
Structure and technical characteristics of tempered glass.
| Parameter | Standard value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Glass thickness | 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 19 | no |
| Flexural strength | 120 - 200 | MPa |
| Impact resistance | ≥ 5 | J/cm² |
| Temperature resistance | 295 | °C |
| Surface stress | 69 - 100 | MPa |
| Maximum size | 3300 x 13000 | no |
Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that is heated to a deformation threshold of approximately 650 degrees Celsius, then rapidly cooled using compressed air. This process creates compressive stress on the glass surface, increasing its strength and impact resistance compared to ordinary float glass of the same thickness. As a result, tempered glass can withstand vibrations, strong winds, and other mechanical impacts without breaking or deforming.
A key feature of tempered glass is that when it breaks, it shatters into small, uniform, and non-sharp pieces, minimizing the risk of injury to users. Additionally, the glass has high heat resistance, remaining undeformed at temperatures up to 295°C, ensuring safety in emergency situations such as fires.
Tempered glass is tough when it breaks.

Tempered glass is made from ordinary float glass, undergoing a special heat treatment process to create compressive stresses on its surface. This structure strengthens molecular bonds, making the glass many times more mechanically durable than ordinary glass.
Below is a table of standard specifications for commonly available tempered glass on the market:
Tempered glass comes in various thicknesses to suit different applications. Common thicknesses include 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, and 19mm. The greater the thickness, the higher the load-bearing capacity; however, this also means increased weight and cost.
Tempered glass is typically cut to the required dimensions for a construction project, and can be further processed with drilled holes, ground edges, or shaped according to the design. It can also be combined with other types of glass, such as laminated safety glass or reflective glass, to enhance its functionality.

Tempered glass must meet stringent technical standards to ensure safety and effective use. Some common international and domestic standards include:
These standards specify indicators such as mechanical strength, heat resistance, dimensions, thickness, and safety characteristics in case of breakage. Choosing tempered glass that meets these standards ensures long-term durability and safety for users.
