Buy Glass UK 19mm Toughened glass is produced to BS EN 12150 standard, the product is a a soda lime silicate glass intended to be used in buildings, construction work, windows, shop fronts, balustrade, partitioning, table tops, splash-backs, shelving, architectural glazing amongst others.
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, tempered glass.
When / if broken toughened glass will break into lots of small usually blunt pieces making it much safer than annealed (non toughened) glass which breaks in to large usual sharp pieces.
19mm Toughened Glass is up to five times stronger than ordinary (float) glass of the same thickness.
Because of its increased strength, Toughened Glass allows architects and builders far greater scope in their use of glass in buildings.
Wherever the benefits of ordinary glass need to be combined with additional strength, safety or resistance to temperature.
Toughened Glass can offer a complete and proven solution with fantastic aesthetic benefits for a wide range of projects
