Are you deciding to renovate your home with latest trends using exclusive flooring, carpets, fixtures etc. So opt home decor accessories with tempered glass fittings. Tempered glass known as "safety" , "toughened" , "strengthened" glass. The obvious reason for this, is its way of preparation which gives glass a strength to handle more stress. Tempered glass are known as a safety glass formed through thermal or chemical processes in a controlled way to enhance their strength.
It is indestructible, i.e when breaking, it shatters into small pieces instead of large shards. This will reduce the chances of being injured. For this reason, tempered glass are used in car windows, tub and showers, display cases like jewellery cases, table tops, store front display windows, and even entrance doors. Tempered glass are thermally and physically indestructible than a normal glass. These glasses take into consideration when strength, thermal resistance and safety plays an important role. Passengers vehicle require all these aspects.
Tempered glass are prepared from annealed glass through thermal tempering process. These are kept onto the roller table taking it through a furnace which heats it above its transition temperature. Then glass is getting cooled down suddenly with air drafts although inner parts still free to flow for a short period of time.
Initially tempered glass are cut into pieces, because once it is treated cannot be cut into any shapes. The controlled heating process makes it stronger and less apt to break. So, It is used as a component of bulletproof glass. It is 5 - 10 times stronger to any untempered counterpart. The heating process makes its surface area highly resistant to scratching.
Tempered glass is often used in many kitchenware , like carafes, coffee pots, oven windows, and refrigerator shelves. It is also used in eye-wear and computer screens. Being much safer than glass it can be used commercially and personally. It can be used in buildings for flame less glass doors. Most smart phone with touch screen use toughened glass and then cover it with tempered glass for extra protection. Cutting, grinding, and sharp impacts after tempering will cause the glass to fracture. It can be into consideration when people need strength, thermal resistance, and safety in their products.
