Tempered glass is one of two kinds of safety glass frequently used in applications in which standard glass could pose a possible risk. Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than standard glass and does not break into sharp shards when it fails. Tempered glass is manufactured through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, making it harder than normal glass. Southgate Glass will customize glass for your specific needs.
