| Tempered glass is manufactured through heat-strengthening process. It results in creating a glass that is four to fives times stronger than untempered glass.
Characteristics:
- 4 – 5 times stronger than float glass of equal thickness
- Higher resistance to thermal stress
Safety features:
- Tempered glass does not break into sharp shards when it shatters, but rather into small-oval pebbles without sharp edges.
- If subjected to stresses beyond its capacity, tempered glass disintegrates into small pieces, greatly reducing the risk of serious injury.
Applications:
- Show windows of shops and shopping centres
- Shower screens
- Partition walls / Side walls
- Glass doors
- Outdoor fencing
- Fencing of stairways and parapets
We offer tempered glass that are clear and tinted (green or bronze).
Size available: 4/5/6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm and 19mm. |

| Laminated glass is manufactured by laminating 2 pieces of float glass together with a layer of PVB (polyvinyl butyral).
Characteristics:
- Laminated glass reduces transmission of high frequency sound and blocks 97 percent of ultraviolet radiation
- Laminated glass does not shatter into pieces upon impact, and tend to remain intact.
Safety Features:
- Laminated glass when broken by impact is held together by the PVB layer such that the glass does not fall apart.
- Laminated glass also provides a level of security when used in storefronts or other secure locations as it remains in place even when badly broken due to the strong PVB inner-layer.
Applications:
- Structured glazing
- Glass Doors
- Cabinet Doors
- Windows / Shower screens
- Side wall panels of escalators and stairways
- Show windows of shops
- Balcony glazing
- All kinds of outside glass fencing
- Glass floors and stairways
- Skylights
- Furniture
- Ceiling glazing
Laminated Glass can be customized to your preferred liking by wedging your preferred fabrics to beautify the panel.
Sizes available: 0.38mm, 0.76mm and 1.52mm. |

| Heat-strengthened glass refers to glass that is produced in a process similar to that for tempered glass, except that the cooling process is slower. Nickel Sulfide (NiS) induced fracture reduces for heat strengthen glass as the slow cooling allows NiS particles to return back to their stable state.
Heat-strengthened glass combined with a laminated safety glass achieves safety properties.
Characteristics:
- Less optical distortion compared to tempered glass
- Higher resistance to thermal stress
- Higher wind load resistance
- High edge strength
- Twice as strong as float glass
Safety Features:
- Heat-strengthened glass breaks into pieces larger than tempered glass
Applications:
- Shop fronts
- Windows / Shower Screen
- Partitions
- Handrails

| Heat Soaking involves heating a pane of tempered glass up to 290°C for a given period of time, then slowly cooling it. This process accelerates the expansion of Nickel Sulfide (NiS) stones, and at this temperature, glass panels with NiS stones are likely to shatter.
Due to the nature of production of tempered glass, NiS stones inclusions can cause spontaneous breakages days or months after the tempering process. Up to 95% NiS infected panes are usually destroyed in the heat soak chamber, which reduces the occurrence of onsite breakages.
The purpose of heat soaking is to minimize the risk of spontaneous breakage associated with tempered glass after installation.
Glasses that are to be installed inside a framed glazing, point fixed infill panels, canopies / ceiling glazing, railings / partitions, external front (shop fronts), should be tempered as well as heat soaked because these are areas that glass failure may cause potential harm and injuries.
Safety Features:
- Heat Soak glass reduces the risk of spontaneous breakages in tempered glass.
