Heat-Strengthened Glass
Heat-strengthened glass is flat glass that has been heat treated to have a surface compression between 3,500 and 7,500 psi (24 to 52 MPa) which is twice the surface compression of annealed glass and meets the requirements of ASTM C 1048. It is intended for general glazing, where additional strength is desired to withstand wind loads and thermal stresses. However, heat-strengthened glass is not a safety glazing material.
Heat-Strengthened Applications:
- Windows
- Insulating Glass Units (IGUs)
- Laminated Glass
Fully Tempered Glass
Fully tempered class is flat glass that has been heat-treated to have a minimum surface compression of 10,000 psi (69MPa) resulting in resistance to impact of approximately four times that of annealed glass. Fully tempered glass will meet the requirements of ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 and is considered a safety glazing material.
Application Use:
- Storefronts
- Windows
- Insulating Glass Units (IGUs)
- All-Glass Doors and Entrances
