What Is Tempered Glass?
Tempered glass is a specialized type of safety glass that’s heated and rapidly cooled to create internal stresses, making it significantly stronger than standard glass. When broken, it shatters into small, less dangerous granules rather than sharp shards, making it ideal for environments where safety and durability matter most.
