Toughened

The toughening process

All of the glass types we offer can be toughened. The toughening process is undertaken in house using one of our 6M x 3M Glaston furnaces. All toughened glass is manufactured under strict control to BS EN 12150 and carries the CENSolution CMS Mark along with our own identifying number and name. All toughened glass in the UK must have the relevant standard markings.

4 x the strength of non-toughened glass

The rapid cooling of the glass puts a stress into the glass that gives it 4 times the strength of the non-toughened equivalent. On breaking, the glass shatters into tiny pieces that are not able to cause life threatening, deep cuts. This is the same as side windows on cars.
