Description
Buy Glass 19mm Toughened glass is 4 to 5 times stronger than annealed glass of the same 19mm thickness and is best designed for the most important applications for protection.
Because of its increased strength, Toughened Glass allows architects and builders far greater scope in their use of glass in buildings.
19mm Toughened glass is produced to BS EN 12150, the product is a a soda lime silicate glass intended to be used in buildings and construction work.
19mm Toughened Glass is manufactured by subjecting cut to size panes of glass to a heating and cooling treatment whereby high compressive stresses are set up at the surfaces with balancing tensile stresses in the centre.
The high compressive surface stresses give the glass its increased strength i.e toughened glass.
When / if broken 19mm toughened glass will break into lots of small usually blunt pieces making it much safer than annealed (untoughened) glass which breaks in to large usual sharp pieces.
