we offer Toughened Glass. toughened glass is produced by heating annealed glass in a furnace to approximately 700degC and then rapidly blowing cool air onto both surfaces. This rapid cooling process is the key element in the physical changes in annealed glass that creates toughened glass. Toughened glass cannot be drilled or edge worked in any manner. A slight distortion or bowing may occur after toughening but is largely controllable. It will vary with substance, tint, surface treatment, size and shape of the glass. Ceramic painted, sandblasted or reflective coated glass has a greater tendency to bow and special tolerances would be advised. Flatness will be measured when the glass is standing on edge with a straight edge placed along the full length of the panel and a wedge measurement taken at the centre position. Stamps are located in the ‘normal position’ at the bottom left hand corner or ‘special position’ to customer specification. Please state on your requirement order. Stamps available include GLAZING, AUTOMOTIVE and special sized stamps for louvres. Stamps can be custom made to customer’s name and specification. Please refer to Veeral Glass for more details. Where no stamp is requested, the customer may be required to provide a compliance letter or certificate if so requested by relevant authorities. It is always advisable to identify toughened glass by stamping. Tempered glass is a generic term for glass that is either toughened or heat strengthened. Clarification should be sought as to which type of tempering is required and whether either one meets relevant code requirements.
