Tempered Toughened Glass for Shower
Toughened (or tempered) glass is made from standard Float Glass to create an impact resistant, safety glass. The process of toughening the glass introduces tensions into the internal and surfaces of a glass panel to increase its strength and also to ensure in the case of breakages the glass shatters into small, harmless pieces of glass.
Advantages of Tempered Glass for Your Glass Shower Door
1. Safety
If tempered safety glass breaks, it will break into small, circular pieces that are harmless. It is made to be the safest option for shower enclosures. On the other hand, normal annealed glass will break into sharp, jagged shards that are dangerous. If annealed glass breaks around you, you are much more likely to sustain injuries. This reduced risk of injury is the main reason that tempered glass is suggested for glass shower doors.
2. Durability
While it’s possible for your tempered glass shower door to break, it is extremely unlikely. Tempered glass is four times stronger than normal glass because of the process through which it’s made. It is durable and can withstand even drastic wear and tear. Tempered glass is even used for windows and can withstand extreme weather conditions. Your glass shower door won’t face those extreme circumstances.
3. Damage Resistant
Again, tempered glass is strong. It does not scratch easily and is heat resistant. This safety glass is made to withstand any damage that might occur to your glass shower doors.
4. Versatility
Tempered glass can be used with any design and shower enclosure you want. While there are many different types of glass shower doors, tempered safety glass can be made to your specifications, including frosted glass, rain glass, patterned glass, etc.
5. Easy to Clean
Tempered glass is resistant to smudges and is easy to clean. With tempered glass, your glass shower doors will be looking new for years to come.
