Tempered glass

Glass tempering – a process that gives durability

Tempered ESG glass is formed through a process of heating to approximately 680°C and rapid cooling, which increases its strength by 5-7 times compared to traditional glass. If broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces and is therefore classified as safety glass. It is widely used in construction and interior design: façades, balustrades, glass doors, stairs, and floors, as well as in assemblies of various types of insulated glass units. ESG glass is ideal for public areas and those requiring a high level of safety.

Features of tempered glass

  • resistance to mechanical damage
  • resistant to high temperature variations
  • safety and protection against injury
  • high bending strength

TVG semi-tempered glass – an alternative for demanding designs

TVG semi-tempered glass, subjected to slower cooling, offers higher strength than traditional glass, while retaining the characteristic grid of cracks that holds the glass in the frame when broken. Ideal for projects requiring increased durability.

Eliminating the rippling effect of the glass

The tempering of glass, as is well known, is associated with the occurrence of the so-called rippling effect. In order to minimise this undesirable visual effect, which is particularly visible on building façades where coated glass is tempered, at STAN-SZKŁO we use a high-tech tempering furnace with full top and bottom convection. In addition, we use directional tempering to further reduce rippling. This means that when tempering along the height, the rippling will run perpendicular to this dimension.
